A Method to Quickly Assess the Analog Front-End Performance in Communication SoCs
By Manuel Mota, Technical Marketing Manager, Synopsys, Inc.
This white paper outlines a simplified method to determine if the electrical characteristics of any given AFE are adequate for the targeted application such as broadband signal transceivers in the context of wireless or wireline connectivity, cellular communications and digital TV and radio broadcast. Additionally, it illustrates a tool to explore tradeoffs between relative performance and operating modes of different components to find the optimal performance, power, area and cost for SoCs.
