Ultra Low-Power High-Performance AFE in 12nm

The ODT-AFE-1T1R-12 is an ultra-high-performance AFE designed in a 12nm process. The AFE includes 1 IQ Pairs of Tx and Rx for either the FR1 or FR2 band. This is comprised of two 12-bit 2GSPS ADCs, and two 12-bit 2GSPS DACs. This AFE also includes multiple capless LDOs, a voltage/current reference, and a low jitter 2 GHz PLL.

The ADC and DAC architecture is optimized to maximize performance while minimizing power and area consumption.

To maximize SNR, the AFE includes an ultra-low-jitter clock distribution network.
