GUC's 5G Analog Front-End (AFE) IP has been silicon proven in TSMC 12nm technology node and now production ramping in 5G leading customer's product. It integrates Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), Digital-to-Analog converter (DAC), and ultra-low jitter PLL. Supporting frequency is up to 16GSps, and 7.5GHz analog input/output frequency. AFE IP also integrates production test solution and APB/I2C/JTAG interface for easy integration to enable ASIC successfully.
