MaxLinear’s G.hn Wave-2 Platform, Now at Mouser, Offers High-Speed Wired Connectivity on Legacy Mediums

January 23, 2019 – Mouser Electronics, Inc., the authorized global distributor with the newest semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the G.hn Wave-2 networking chipset from MaxLinear, featuring the G.hn digital baseband and G.hn analog front ends. Offering physical data rates up to 2 Gbits per second (Gbps) across a variety of physical media, the Wave-2 networking G.hn processors deliver reliable connectivity and reduced congestion in smart gridsecurity, broadband, industrial, smart home, and automotive applications.

        MaxLinear’s G.hn Wave-2 networking platform, available from Mouser Electronics, offers designers the flexibility to combine footprint-compatible components to address multiple G.hn applications. The MaxLinear G.hn digital broadband (DBB) processors provide high-speed networking solutions with 1 Gbps maximum throughput over power lines and 1.7 Gbps maximum throughput over coaxial cables and phone lines. The DBB processors feature a G.hn physical layer (PHY), G.hn datalink layer (DLL), and an embedded CPU for management and control functions. The G.hn analog front ends (AFEs) provide up to 2 Gbps physical data rates over any wired medium. Housed in a small 4 × 4 mm QFN package, the devices deliver programmable transmission and reception gains for each wired medium.

        MaxLinear’s platform includes a set of software development kits (SDKs) that enable designers to create custom solutions that meet requirements such as IPv4/IPv6 support, quality of service (QoS), and TR-069 management. Engineers can also use the SDKs to develop customized applications that run on a DBB processor’s embedded CPU.

       Mouser is also stocking three G.hn Wave-2 Networking Evaluation Kits, for a power line, coaxial, or phone line medium. Each kit includes a DBB processor, AFE, and two evaluation boards that allow designers to evaluate the performance of G.hn networking technology.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.
