XR88C192CVTR-F

Overview

The XR88C192CVTR-F is a high-performance, low-power CMOS transceiver designed for IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE) applications. It supports 10/100 Mbps data rates over twisted-pair copper cabling and integrates an analog front-end with a digital signal processor. The device features integrated magnetics isolation and complies with IEEE 802.3u standards. Key electrical parameters include a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V, typical operating current of 150mA at 3.3V, and standby current below 1mA in EEE mode. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and utilizes a compact 48-pin QFN package.

Feature Summary

• Supports IEEE 802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet for reduced power consumption during idle periods
• Integrates analog front-end and digital signal processing for simplified board design
• Includes built-in magnetics isolation to minimize external component count
• Compatible with standard twisted-pair copper cabling infrastructure

Applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CVTR-F' against MaxLinear's official documentation to confirm tape-and-reel packaging and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with your PCB footprint and thermal requirements before ordering. Cross-reference part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems that require certified IEEE 802.3az compliance for power savings. Consider the 48-pin QFN package size relative to available board space. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs given the 150mA active current draw. Confirm interface voltage levels match your system's 3.3V logic domain.

Part Context

This part belongs to MaxLinear's XR88 series of Ethernet transceivers, which are widely used in embedded networking applications. The XR88C variant specifically targets cost-sensitive, high-volume deployments where power efficiency and integration density are critical design drivers.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in verified sources. Consult MaxLinear's official obsolescence notices or distributor cross-reference tools for potential alternatives if sourcing becomes restricted.
