Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus includes: a receiver pad to receive an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal; a first inductor coupled to the receiver pad; a second inductor coupled to the first inductor at an inter-inductor node; a first electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit coupled to the inter-inductor node; a second ESD circuit coupled to the second inductor; a low noise amplifier (LNA) coupled to the second inductor to receive and amplify the incoming RF signal; a transmit-receive (TR) switch coupled to the LNA, where in a receive mode, the TR switch is to enable the LNA to receive the incoming RF signal; a transmit pad to output an outgoing RF signal; and a power amplifier (PA) coupled to the transmit pad, where in a transmit mode, the TR switch is to decouple the LNA.

Abstract: A technique for terminating a differential signal line substantially matches the output impedances of a first node and a second node of a differential node. The power dissipation is substantially less than twice the power delivered to a load impedance coupled to the differential signal line. The technique provides a peak-to-peak, single-ended output voltage on the differential output node that is substantially independent of integrated circuit manufacturing process tolerances. An apparatus includes a differential node coupled to provide a differential signal. The differential node includes a first node and a second node. A first single-ended termination circuit is coupled to the first node and responsive to a first reference voltage. The apparatus includes a second single-ended termination circuit coupled to the second node and responsive to a second reference voltage.
