    MaxLinear describes the MxL93516 as a highly integrated PAM4 DSP optimized for 100G per wavelength optical modules used in hyperscale data centers and wireless fronthaul applications. It includes a monolithically integrated driver and supports an extended operating temperature range, enabling sub-3.5-W QSFP28 and SFP-DD 100G optical modules.

    Judge’s comment: “Integrated EML driver [is] important to remove size and cost for 100G/lambda solutions. Decent EQ/predistort as well.”
