Abstract :
A monolithic RFIC in 0.25-micron fully-depleted SOI CMOS has been designed consisting of a microcoded 8-bit 33-MHz microprocessor, a 400-MHz 8-bit ASK-modulated RF transceiver and two integrated dc-dc voltage converters for power management. This architecture exploits a low-power (sub 2-V) digital process for mixed-signal VLSI in a die size measuring 2.2 mm×2.2 mm
