A fully digital QAM16 burst receiver ASIC is presented.The B04 receiver demodulates at 10 Mbit/s and uses an advanced signal processing architecture that performs perburst automatic equalization.It is a critical building block in a broadband access system for HFC networks.The chip was designed using a C++ based flow and is implemented as a 80 Kgate 0.7~ CMOS standard cell design.
