Product No: WEA7681RXV0222GDownload Datasheet

  • Applications:Automotive Radar Applications
  • Maturity:GDS Ready
  • Foundry:GF
  • Geometry (nm):22nm
  • Process Node:22FDX

The WEA7681RX22G is a complete Zero-IF receiver for radar applications covering the 76 GHz to 81 GHz automotive band. The receiver integrates a Low Noise Amplifier, a down conversion mixer, a 1st order active highpass filter, a 1st order passive high pass filter and a 3rd order lowpass filter and a variable gain amplifier with digital gain control. The local oscillator chain is also integrated on the same IP. The LO accepts an input at 38GHz to 40.5GHz. The receiver has a dual saturation detector scheme for strong blocker detection at the mixer and the filter output. The receiver has a build-in Analog Test Bus (ATB) for complete monitoring of the bias conditions of all blocks, for FuSa. It is implemented in 22FDX FDSOI process. The WEA7681RX22G occupies a silicon area of 1450 um x 450 um.
