ISSCC2009, SAN FRANCISCO – February 9, 2009 – With the launch of its
single-chip reconfigurable receiver achieving industry state-of-the-art
performance, IMEC matures its flexible radios in deep sub-micron digital
CMOS to ease the implementation of both the analog and the digital
functionality into the same system-on-chip (SoC). The architecture
optimally benefits from the speed advantages of chip technology scaling
resulting [...]

ISSCC2009, SAN FRANCISCO – FEBRUARY 9, 2009 – At this week’s International
Solid State Circuit Conference, Holst Centre – founded by the Belgian
nanoelectronics research center IMEC and the Dutch research center TNO -
presents world’s first 128 bit organic RFID transponder chip with
Manchester encoding, anti-collision protocol and record high data rate. The
reported RFID transponder chip is [...]

ISSCC2009, SAN FRANCISCO – February 9, 2009 – At this week’s
International Solid State Circuits Conference, IMEC presents a 60GHz
front-end receive chain, phase-locked loop and power amplifier in 45nm
digital CMOS technology. These building blocks pave the way to
second-generation 60GHz radios by 2010 which will rely solely on plain
CMOS, true one-chip solutions. IMEC also demonstrated [...]
