The MxL277 is a cable gateway, front-end SoC that supports 2 OFDM and 32 QAM downstream channels, in addition to 2 OFDMA and 8 QAM upstream channels. The MxL277 targets DOCSIS and Euro-DOCSIS cable gateway designs.
For the cable downstream, the MxL277 captures the entire 1.218GHz cable bandwidth and provides up to 2 OFDM and 32 QAM channels of digitized I/Q data using 5 SerDes lanes. The MxL277 accepts digitized upstream signals from a DOCSIS back-end IC using two SerDes lanes, and outputs upstream analog signals in the 5MHz to 204MHz range to the companion MxL236 PGA.
With its high integration and low-power consumption, the MxL277 enables high-speed DOCSIS 3.1 broadband gateway solutions with compact board design and low BOM cost.
The MxL277 is controlled through an SPI interface and operates using 3.3V, 1.8V, and 0.9V supplies. The MxL277 is available in a small 10mm x 10mm footprint 88-pin QFN package.
