A 65nm CMOS SoC with embedded HSDPA/EDGE transceiver, digital baseband and multimedia processor

Abstract

This paper presents a multimode UMTS/GSM RF transceiver integrated with a digital baseband having advanced multimedia functionalities. The SoC, designed in 65nm digital CMOS, supports quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE (3GPP R4, Class12) and tri-band UMTS/WCDMA (3GPP R99, R5 cat 5/6), including band 1-2-4-5-6-8-9-10.
