By Matthew Miller, Editor in Chief, EDN.com -- EDN, January 10, 2008
STMicroelectronics has announced the production of its first fully functional ICs using a 45-nm CMOS-RF process. The prototype devices integrate a complete signal chain, from detection of an RF signal through digital output, according to the company. Measuring 0.45 mmsquare, including a low-noise amplifier, a mixer, an ADC, and filtering, the devices operate at 1.1V.
