A digitally-programmable zero external components FM radio receiver with 1/spl mu/V sensitivity

A digitally-programmable FM radio IC, implemented in an 11GHz f/sub T/ BiCMOS process, utilizes a low-IF architecture to eliminate all external components. The 11mm/sup 2/ die draws 17mA from a 2.7 to 7.0V supply and exhibits an input sensitivity of 1/spl mu/V.
