MaxLinear
MaxLinear, founded in 2003, is a leading supplier of RF analog, digital, and mixed-signal integrated circuits. Their portfolio expanded significantly with the 2015 acquisition of Entropic, a pioneer in semiconductor solutions for connected homes, particularly in the development of MoCA (Multimedia over Coaxial Cable) technology. This technology revolutionized the delivery of broadcast and IP streaming video within homes, enabling seamless, reliable, and secure distribution. The 2017 acquisition of Exar Corporation further bolstered MaxLinear's capabilities. Exar's strengths in power management and interface technology, combined with MaxLinear's existing agent platform, are expected to accelerate growth and leverage opportunities in various markets.
