摘要:
A configurable multi-standard receiver. A receiver comprises a mixer, a processing module and an analog to digital converter is disclosed to receive multi-standard radio signals. The processing module includes a first selection switch and first parameter control, where the first selection switch configures the processing module as a complex filter or a real-valued filter and the first parameter control configures the characteristics of the filter. Furthermore, the analog to digital converted is preferably implemented using sigma delta modulation to achieve a desired noise shaping. The sigma delta modulation comprises a second selection switch and second parameter control. The second selection switch configures the sigma delta modulation to function as a unit having a complex loop filter or a unit having real-valued loop filters. The second parameter control configures the characteristics of the loop filter. The settings for the first and second selection switches and the first and second control parameters may be stored in a control register.

An input circuit for an integrated circuit (IC), which is mounted on a package having an input pin, rejects signal energy at a first frequency. A first bondwire arranged on the package has one end that communicates with the pin and an opposite end that communicates with components of the IC. A second bondwire located on the package has one end that communicates with the pin and an opposite end that communicates with a capacitance. The capacitance and an inductance of the first and second bondwires resonate at the first frequency to reject signal energy at the first frequency. Bondwires are also used to eliminate external components such as resonant components and impedance matching circuits to reduce cost.
