MaxLinear Buys Microsemi's Broadband Wireless Unit

By Dylan McGrath,EETimes, May. 02, 2016 – 

ARF and mixed-signal IC vendor MaxLinear Corp. said it acquired assets related to Microsemi Corp.'s Broadband Wireless division, which Microsemi acquired in the deal to buy PMC-Sierra Inc. MaxLinear paid roughly $21 million for the assets, the company said.

MaxLinear (San Diego) said the products and technology acquired address wireless infrastructure markets, including wideband RF transceivers and synthesizers for 3G, 4G, and future 5G cellular base station and remote radio head unit platforms.

Kishore Seendripu, MaxLinear's CEO, said through a statement that migration to new network architectures and the proliferation of higher frequency wireless RF bands have increased the complexity of wireless access technologies. "We expect further increases in complexity with the adoption of 5G architectures, operating frequency ranges around 28GHz, and cumulative aggregated channel bandwidths of about 1GHz across all cellular frequency bands," Kishore said.
