Broadcom is one of the largest fabless semiconductor suppliers focusing on both wired and wireless communications. The rapid growth of internet traffic is creating new opportunities for Broadcom and its analog designers. For example, due to high speed serial links transition to 40Gbps and 100Gbps data rates, multi-GHz ADCs have become a hot research topic. This talk will provide an overview of recent advances and ongoing research in ADC-based receivers, various architectures and the design of its key blocks.
