Abstract :
We report a compact 802.11b/g/n MIMO SoC with fully integrated transceiver, on-chip PMU including dc-dc converters, PHY, MAC, PCIe and a non-volatile memory. The transceiver includes on-chip PA, LNA and T/R switch. Fabricated in 90nm standard digital CMOS technology, this IC consumes 663/878mW (Rx/Tx 54Mbps) with an area of approx 33mm2. A peak saturated power of 24dBm is achieved at antenna.
