  • Abstract
    A 50times35mum2 DC-to-6GHz LNA is designed in a digital 90nm CMOS process. It draws 8.1 mA from a 1.2V supply and achieves a minimum NF of 2.8dB and 17dB of gain. In the 6GHz bandwidth, S11 is below -10dB and the IIP3 varies between -16 and -7dBm. ESD protection of 3.2kV HBM is implemented, as well as an optional second stage with gain selection adding up to 4dB of gain
