A multistandard multiband mobile TV RF SoC in 65nm CMOS

Abstract

The mobile TV applications such as DVH-H/T, T-DMB/DAB, ISDB-T are recently emerging all over the world. To support various applications, the multistandard and multiband mobile TV RF tuner is developed as a cost-effective and size-effective solution [1]. The demand for smaller form factor and power consumption reduction of RF and Channel is very high, and SoC technology is being adopted to meet the customer's requirements. As shown in Fig. 25.7.1, an SoC that implements all of the standards and frequency bands of a mobile TV in a 65nm CMOS is presented in this paper. This RF SoC consists of three RF front ends, a dual-mode analog baseband filter supporting lowpass filtering and complex bandpass filtering, a digitally controlled programmable-gain amplifier (PGA), wideband VCO/PLL, DCXO, data converters, demodulator, forward error correction (FEC), hardwired multiprotocl encapsulation forward error correction (MPE-FEC), ARM CPU and SRAM. This mobile TV RF SoC reduces board area and complexity while cutting system design time.
