‘MIPS Technologies’ AFEs provide high performance and versatility, and the robustness of the underlying converter technology allows seamless integration and operation of the AFE inside our complex SoCs–helping to speed time-to-market,’ stated GCT Vice President of Product Development Larry Dano. ‘MIPS’ technologists have deep expertise in broadband communications. Throughout our five year relationship, they always have been available and responsive to requests, collaborating closely with the GCT design team.’
‘We are pleased that GCT has reaffirmed its commitment to MIPS Technologies through this latest engagement,’ stated Joao Vital, vice president of data conversion solutions, Analog Business Group, MIPS Technologies. ‘By collaborating closely with GCT on its market-leading broadband communications solutions, we have established a very close relationship, leading to seamless integration of our IP into GCT’s products. We are committed to helping ensure the continuing success of GCT’s designs.’
GCT incorporated MIPS Technologies AFEs into highly-integrated WiMAX and WiFi single chips and chipsets for the PCs, PDAs, phones and other devices with wireless broadband communications functionality. The new MIPS Technologies AFEs are integrated into many GCT products incorporating the GDM7215 single-chip WiMAX plus WiFi integrated circuit; the GDM7205 mobile WiMAX 2.5 GHz Wave 2 single chip; and the GDM7201 WiMAX chipset.
MIPS Technologies provides an entire portfolio of silicon-proven data conversion IP, from the single blocks to complete AFE solutions for Mobile WiMax / Wibro (WMAN) and WiFi (WLAN); UWB for wireless USB, WiMedia, other WPAN networks, video or data communications; Blu-ray Disk storage, touch screen interface, Rx path of digital TV broadcast, Rx path in set-top boxes, analog video interfaces, modems and satellite receivers.
MIPS Technologies’ AFE for wireless broadband communications is complete, compact and low-power. It supports the multiple standards incorporating 802.11a/b/g/n and 802.16e in deep submicron technologies and multiple foundries. Using the MIPS Technologies’ new high-performance/low-power pipeline ADC and current steering DAC technology, the designers can decrease their bill of materials (BOM) and decrease system cost. MIPS Technologies offers integration of hard macros onto system on chips, backed by support from an engineering team with over 11 years’ experience designing data conversion IP cores, mainly for consumer electronics and communications applications.
