MaxLinear’s MxL751SM chip

As broadcast technology becomes more advanced, Carlsbad, Calif.-based chipmaker MaxLinear Inc. (MXL) says it is positioned to deliver broadcast and broadband services for multiple devices.The company says it has built a family of low-power TV tuner chips small enough to embed in a mobile phone but with the performance needed by HD-quality large-screen TVs. The low-power design is also a benefit for video and data set-top boxes that watch and record multiple channels at once.

“These chips have a novel architecture,” says MaxLinear CEO and Co-founder Kishore Seendripu. He says they are half the size of comparable chips, relatively low in cost, and ideal for battery-powered applications or boxes targeting Energy Star compliance. “These chips give new options for reliable TV- and broadband-enabled devices.”
