MaxLinear DMI920 G.hn Wave-2 Evaluation Kit
MaxLinear DMI920 G.hn Wave-2 Evaluation Kit offers a simple way to evaluate the MaxLinear G.hn Wave-2 Networking solution over powerline, twisted pair, or coaxial cable. This kit utilizes the 88LX5153A Wave-2 Digital Baseband (DBB) processor and the 88LX2741 Analog Front End (AFE) integrated circuits (ICs).
When used with the MaxLinear G.hn Spirit Grid software, it supports a large-scale, multi-hop network of up to 250 nodes in a single network domain. Spirit Grid’s self-organize-network feature enables autonomous device installation and configuration, optimal signal path selection, and network self-healing capabilities. It can also auto-configure the client to simultaneously perform the repeating function, eliminating the need for a dedicated repeater typically needed by other broadband powerline technologies.
The DMI920 Evaluation Kit is MaxLinear's G.hn industrial IoT multi-medium, multi-interface evaluation kit. It combines the G.hn transceiver solution with MaxLinear’s pre-programmed 3-Output PMIC (XR77103-GR12), 1G Ethernet PHY (GPY115), USB to Ethernet Bridge (XR22800), and multi-protocol transceiver (SP336E).
