Communication ICs simplify design of electronic communication equipment by providing complete building blocks or application specific functions in a single chip. This results in higher reliability designs that require lower power, less space, smaller BOM and faster time to market. Maxim's high-performance communications devices support multiple technologies including wired, powerline, optical, and wireless communications. These highly integrated solutions address critical functions within the telecom, cable, data center, mobile and automotive markets.

Wireless and RF

Highly integrated wireless and radio frequency (RF) ICs are the connecting building blocks for the enhanced IoT, smart technology, and communication markets. Connected devices are becoming the focus of modern life, and our high-performance solutions support critical wireless, mobile, automotive, and cable designs. Maxim's broad portfolio addresses these markets with high-performance building block ICs, including power amplifiers, RF transceivers, RF receivers, RF transmitters, low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), and an extensive range of RF mixers.

Optical

The interface to the optical cable requires specific physical layer transmitters and receivers to manage signal conversion between the electrical and optical domains. This conversion is normally performed in an optical transceiver module. We provide a family of products that drive optical transmitter devices such as lasers or silicon photonics along with receivers that amplify, reshape, and retime signals from a photodiode. These products are currently offered for bitrates up to 50Gbps. We also offer control and power management products that are optimized for optical module applications to complete the chipset needed in an optical module.
