MaxLinear
MaxLinear, Inc. (NASDAQ: MXL) is a fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Carlsbad, California that designs radio-frequency (RF), high-performance analog, and mixed-signal communications systems-on-chip (SoCs) for critical network infrastructure, the connected home, and industrial and multi-market applications. Its products integrate RF, analog, mixed-signal, digital signal processing, security engines, data compression, networking, and power management into single chips that power cable and fiber broadband modems, Wi-Fi 6/7 and wireline home routers, optical transceivers, 4G/5G base-station and backhaul infrastructure, and high-speed data-center interconnects. MaxLinear exposes developer surface primarily as hardware/firmware SDKs and C APIs (for example the Panther Storage Acceleration SDK and the MxL890x Raw Acceleration API) delivered with its silicon, along with design tools, simulation models, and a technical documentation library — it does not publish a public web/REST API. This profile was surfaced as a Battery Ventures portfolio company and enriched from public sources.
Index entry only — little beyond a description and a link, and nothing machine-readable enough for an agent to act on without a human reading the site first.
API Evangelist profiles MaxLinear the way a machine reads it — 1 machine-readable artifact, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.
Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — MaxLinear scores 14.0/100 (minimal), with a separate agent-readiness read of 0/100 (human only). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.
Kin Score
This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile MaxLinear
Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for MaxLinear. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.
Security Posture 1
Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
