Publication number: 20260189516Abstract: A device includes a plurality of digital signal processors (DSPs), analog crossbars in communication with the DSPs, and a switch controller. The switch controller facilitates control signals using in-band signaling within payload traffic or out-of-band signaling over a dedicated management interface. The system supports dynamic traffic prioritization based on real-time metrics, such as latency and traffic load, ensuring efficient resource allocation and seamless operation during congestion or reconfiguration. Redundant crossbars and failover mechanisms enhance fault tolerance, while granular backpressure selectively throttles traffic flows to prevent bottlenecks. Integrated diagnostic tools monitor performance and optimize traffic flow, enabling high-speed and reliable communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2025Publication date: July 2, 2026Applicant: MaxLinear, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Ling, Masoud Koochakzadeh, Sheng Ye, John Andrew Guckenberger, Sridhar Ramesh

Publication number: 20260186552Abstract: A device includes a plurality of digital signal processors (DSPs) and analog crossbars in communication with the DSPs. The DSPs and crossbars dynamically adjust power consumption based on traffic load and/or a signal quality, leveraging traffic prediction models to optimize resource allocation. The system supports features such as powering down unused lanes, asymmetrically deactivating transmission or receiving lanes, and preemptively scaling resources during predicted traffic increases. Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) optimizes power usage based on link utilization and traffic priority, minimizing latency impacts during transitions. The switch controller integrates traffic prioritization algorithms, including weighted round-robin (WRR), to allocate power and bandwidth efficiently to high-priority traffic flows. Redundant crossbars handle overflow traffic or failover scenarios, transitioning between standby and active states dynamically.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2025Publication date: July 2, 2026Applicant: MaxLinear, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Ling, Masoud Koochakzadeh, Sheng Ye, John Andrew Guckenberger, Sridhar Ramesh

Publication number: 20260180923Abstract: A device includes a plurality of digital signal processors (DSPs) and analog crossbars in communication with the DSPs. The analog crossbars dynamically switch between multiple inputs and outputs and adjust configurations based on real-time feedback from the DSPs. The crossbars use amplification to enhance signal strength at input and output stages, ensuring signal integrity across long transmission paths or during multicasting and broadcasting operations. Real-time adaptive equalization optimizes performance in response to environmental changes or signal degradation. The crossbars facilitate system management traffic through out-of-band signaling and support failover with redundant paths to maintain communication during failures. Synchronization with DSPs or a switch controller is achieved through shared clock signals or IEEE 1588. These features enable efficient, high-speed data transmission while maintaining robust performance and reliability in dynamic network environments.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2025Publication date: June 25, 2026Applicant: MaxLinear, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Ling, Masoud Koochakzadeh, Sheng Ye, John Andrew Guckenberger, Sridhar Ramesh

Publication number: 20260180924Abstract: A device includes digital signal processors (DSPs) and analog crossbars in communication with the DSPs. The analog crossbars are operable to dynamically adjust equalization settings based on real-time feedback from DSPs, physical media-dependent (PMD) devices, or environmental sensors. Equalization adjustments optimize signal quality by compensating for traffic conditions, environmental changes, or signal degradation. The crossbars support predictive equalization using machine learning algorithms to preemptively adjust signal properties, ensuring performance across dynamic network environments. Diagnostics and logging capabilities monitor and refine equalization performance, while auxiliary in-band channels provide low-power pathways to reduce energy consumption. These features enable efficient, high-speed data transmission with enhanced reliability and adaptability in modern networking systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2025Publication date: June 25, 2026Applicant: MaxLinear, Inc.Inventors: Curtis Ling, Masoud Koochakzadeh, Sheng Ye, John Andrew Guckenberger, Sridhar Ramesh
