Analog Devices, Inc.

Purpose: Analog Devices Intends to Accelerate the Development of 5NM Complementary Metal-oxide-semiconductor Radio Transceiver Asic (application-specific Integrated Circuit) Components, System-on-chip, and Chiplets. the Applicant Plans to Do This by Integrating Their Rakino Baseline Chip With Multiple Interface Variants. Activities to Be Performed: Over the Three-year Performance Period, the Project Is Structured Into Three Phases, Each Corresponding to a Set of Developments Around an Ic Platform: - Phase 1: Rakino Baseline Chip Evaluation and Radio System Integration and Evaluation of Rakino First Silicon.- Phase 2: Rakino Variant 1 Extensions, Including FR3 Band Support and Interface Variants and Support for Chiplet Form Factors.- Phase 3: Rakino Variant 2 Extensions, Including Low Power Form Factors and Feature Sets Required for New Radio Architectures, Including Oran Advances.there Are Multiple Tasks Within Each Phase, With Milestones/deliverables Consistent With Ic Development Activity Running From Specification to Design, Fabrication, Evaluation/validation, and Initial Customer Sampling.expected Outcomes: by the End of the Performance Period, Analog Devices Expects to Be Beta-sampling These Radio Reference Designs in Hardware to Radio Equipment Manufacturers for Their Evaluation and Validation.intended Beneficiaries: Us Cellular Radio Access Networks and O-ru (open Radio Unit) Ecosystems.subrecipient Activities: the Applicant Does Not List Any Subrecipient in This Application.
