Analysts substantially upgraded MaxLinear's revenue forecasts for the current year on May 2, 2026, anticipating significantly higher sales. This follows the company beginning to sample its Washington 200G four-lane transimpedance amplifier (TIA) to early partners on May 1. This TIA is tailored for the latest 1.6 Tbps optical transceivers in AI data centers, with commercial production planned for the second half of 2026. MaxLinear previously announced the availability of its Washington TIA on April 30. The four-lane 200G/lane transimpedance amplifier is designed for 1.6T optical transceiver modules for AI data center applications, enabling cost-effective, power-efficient 1.6T optical connectivity. MaxLinear described Washington as the first product in a planned family of low-noise TIAs supporting next-generation fully retimed, half-retimed, and linear interfaces, delivering a low-power, low-noise linear analog front end for scaling hyperscale data centers.
