Abstract
A digital interface and control module and a multi-function digital bus for use in a wireless radio frequency receiver, transmitter, or transceiver that communicates over a millimeter-wave band at multi-gigabit speeds. The control module provides a low power, low cost, small form factor, and low pin-count solution for high-speed control of a multi-gigabit radio frequency circuitry. The control module may be used to steer an antenna array for beamforming including selecting different antennas and different phases in compliance with IEEE 802.11ad/WiGig specifications. The control module may also be used for individually controlling variable gain amplifiers and low noise amplifiers and for phase shift controls, gain settings, and other controls.
