Motivation for DSM programme

  • Microelectronics technology developments are driven by telecom needs for

future broadband and versatile payloads (mobile, multimedia, HDTV)

  • Higher ASIC complexity

– 20 … 30 Millions gates – Higher clock data path (≥ 400 MHz) – Higher power dissipation per ASIC (≥ 15 Watts) – Higher pin count package (flip chip ≥ 1600 pins) – Higher data rate interfaces (HSSL 6.25 Gbps)

  • Faster and power efficient ADC and DAC

– Analog input bandwidth 500 MHz instead of 150MHz – ADC and DAC data rate ≥ 1.5 Gsamples/s – High complexity antenna systems / beamforming » Number of ADC ≥ 200 » Number of DAC ≥ 200 – Need to reduce the power consumption per converters » Max power per ADC ≤ 1.5 Watt » Max power per DAC ≤ 1.5 Watt
