MaxLinear's PCIe UARTs are one of the industry’s first highly integrated solutions. For existing MaxLinear PCI UART customers, the PCIe UARTs provide a logical upward migration path with minimal changes to the software driver since they are software compatible. Due to the on chip PHY and various other features, very few external components are needed, which in turn results in lower system or bill of material costs. The board space taken is minimal and routing complexities are greatly reduced as well. In addition, MaxLinear provides a complete suite of software drivers including source code for Windows, Linux and QNX operating systems. MaxLinear also has a serial transceiver and power products family, which together with the UARTs form a complete system solution.
