9、nputs (three high bands, two mid bands, and three low bands), plus another eight rf inputs for diversity gains. the rf chip supports more than 30 3gpp bands and is configurable to meet the rf band needs of mobile operators globally 1. the mt6169v houses the am10263b die with a date marking of octobe

10、r 30, 2013. the die measures 2.44 mm x 3.88 mm. it was manufactured in a 40 nm cmos process. chipworks bases this estimate on the minimum contacted gate pitch, minimum metal 1 pitch, and minimum transistor gate length measurements. this partial circuit analysis report presents the first stage of one

11、 of the two inphase/quadrature tx input circuits from the input pins. the report includes the following major functional sub-blocks/sub-circuits: ?input impedance control (schematic 2.0.0) ?control logic ( schematic 3.0.0 ) ?variable resistor 1 (schematic 4.0.0 ) ?variable resistor 2 (schematic 5.0.
