MaxLinear Introduces New TV Tuner

CARLSBAD, Calif. -- MaxLinear Inc. (NYSE: MXL), a leading provider of integrated radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal integrated circuits for broadband communications applications, today introduced the MxL661, a software-programmable, low power, global hybrid television tuner.

The MxL661 is based on MaxLinear’s “Super Radio” technology that offers exceptional reception performance, silicon integration and power consumption.

New features in the MxL661 include software programmable radio frequency (RF) to intermediate frequency (IF) delay, which is required in some Chinese cable TV systems, and further improvements for balun-less implementations which eliminates the need for this discrete component in cost-sensitive designs.
