MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) introduced RackCommander™, a control-plane portfolio combining connectivity, monitoring, control, and power‑management products to support rack‑level architectures for AI, cloud, enterprise, and edge infrastructure. The portfolio targets modern AI racks that include multiple compute trays, accelerators, power shelves, liquid‑cooling subsystems, sensors, and management controllers, which traditional server‑centric approaches were not designed to manage efficiently.
RackCommander highlights MaxLinear’s Coronado™ and Laguna™ USB‑UARTs, Carmel™ High‑Speed USB UARTs, MxL83214 RS‑485 transceiver, I²C and SPI GPIO expanders (MxL82200/1/3, MxL82403/23), eFuses (MxL745950/51P), and step‑down regulators (MxL76502/3/5/8). According to MaxLinear, these components enable scalable console connectivity, high‑speed sideband communications, rack‑level telemetry aggregation, expanded monitoring and control, and improved power visibility, protection, and resiliency for next‑generation AI rack‑scale infrastructure.
MaxLinear (NASDAQ:MXL) expanded its AI infrastructure control-plane portfolio with two new 16V high-current electronic fuse (eFuse) solutions, the MxL745950 and MxL745951P, targeting power protection and telemetry for hyperscale AI servers, accelerator trays, data center switches, fan trays, power shelves, and rack-scale platforms.
According to MaxLinear, the MxL745950 supports up to 50A with 1mΩ on-resistance in a 5mm × 5mm LGA-32 package, while the MxL745951P supports up to 60A with 0.79mΩ on-resistance, PMBus/I²C telemetry, configurable protection thresholds, non-volatile fault recording, and active current balancing.
Both devices integrate hot-swap and inrush control, multiple protection features (including UVP, OVP, OCP, SCP, OTP, and MOSFET fault diagnosis), and compact packaging. They are sampling now, with volume production expected in Q4 2026, and will be demonstrated at the OCP APAC 2026 Summit in Taipei, booth PL33.
MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) introduced Carmel™ (MxL81434), a high-speed USB-to-UART device aimed at console access, bring-up, monitoring, debugging, and infrastructure management in AI data centers, hyperscale cloud, and rack-scale server platforms.
Carmel supports 480Mbps High-Speed USB, four independent UART channels up to 15Mbps each, an integrated I²C master, and 32 GPIOs, enabling consolidation of monitoring and management functions. The device includes 1024-byte TX/RX FIFOs to help sustain throughput, offers ±15kV HBM ESD protection, and targets AI servers, accelerator platforms, Universal Baseboards, and enterprise data centers. According to MaxLinear, Carmel samples are expected in Q4 2026.
MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) announced that its Panther Storage Accelerator won the FMS 2026 Best of Show Award in the Servers & Networking category and was named a finalist for the AI Infrastructure Award. Panther is a hardware-accelerated storage and data movement platform that offloads compression, encryption, data protection, verification, and high-speed transfer tasks from host CPUs to improve efficiency and reduce bottlenecks in AI, enterprise, hyperscale, and HPC environments.
According to MaxLinear, demonstrations with Los Alamos National Laboratory showed Panther-enabled OpenZFS achieving about 39x faster write and 7x faster read performance while preserving data protection, supporting large-scale AI inference, RAG, vector database, and KV cache workloads.
MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) announced that Japan-based Core Micro Systems (CMS) has adopted the MaxLinear Panther (Panther V) platform as the foundation for its next-generation storage infrastructure and is integrating the Panther Storage Accelerator with ZFlush™ hardware-accelerated OpenZFS for AI, cloud, hyperscale, and enterprise environments.
According to MaxLinear, the combined solution accelerates OpenZFS data services such as compression, encryption, and deduplication, improving throughput, latency, and CPU utilization, which can lower infrastructure CAPEX and OPEX. CMS plans to deploy Panther-based storage solutions across Asia, targeting the growing APAC data center storage market, which is forecast to approach $25 billion by 2030.
Everspin Technologies (NASDAQ: MRAM) and MaxLinear (NASDAQ: MXL) signed a memorandum of understanding to evaluate next-generation memory architectures for AI servers. The collaboration will combine Everspin’s persistent, low-latency MRAM with MaxLinear’s storage compression, encryption and hardware acceleration platform to address growing AI model and inference workloads.
The work will target metadata management, log data, write buffering and cache functions to enhance responsiveness, reliability and data persistence in server architectures. According to the companies, the MOU also covers technical validation, joint market development for hyperscale and enterprise customers, and exploration of long-term manufacturing, supply and commercialization opportunities.
MaxLinear (NASDAQ:MXL) will showcase its Panther Storage Accelerator at Future of Memory and Storage (FMS) 2026, held August 4–6 in Santa Clara, California. Panther is designed to improve AI storage efficiency and AI inference performance through hardware‑accelerated data services.
According to MaxLinear, Panther delivers up to a 3× compression ratio on AI data, enabling up to 2.2× greater effective KV cache capacity and support for up to 2.2× more AI agents on existing infrastructure. FMS demonstrations will cover AI workload compression, peer‑to‑peer DMA for PCIe endpoint‑to‑endpoint data movement, OpenZFS acceleration via ZIA/DPUSM frameworks, and SPDK compression offload. MaxLinear states Panther can enable up to 2.5× greater effective storage capacity for AI data while freeing CPU resources for higher‑value workloads across enterprise, cloud, hyperscale, and HPC environments. Attendees can visit MaxLinear at Booth #513.
