MaxLinear

MaxLinear, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXL) is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Carlsbad, California that designs radio-frequency (RF), high-performance analog, and mixed-signal communications systems-on-chip (SoCs) for critical network infrastructure, the connected home, and industrial and multi-market applications. Its products integrate RF, analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing, security engines, data compression, networking, and power management into single chips that power cable and fiber broadband modems, Wi-Fi 6/7 and wireline home routers, optical transceivers, 4G/5G base-station and backhaul infrastructure, and high-speed data-center interconnects. MaxLinear exposes developer surface primarily as hardware/firmware SDKs and C APIs (for example the Panther Storage Acceleration SDK and the MxL890x Raw Acceleration API) delivered with its silicon, along with design tools, simulation models, and a technical documentation library — it does not publish a public web/REST API. This profile was surfaced as a Battery Ventures portfolio company and enriched from public sources.

MaxLinear is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Semiconductors, Connectivity, Broadband, and Infrastructure.

MaxLinear’s developer surface includes documentation, support, engineering blog, and 4 more developer resources.
