An apparatus for providing a multi-mode interface between a baseband
receiver and radio frequency (RF) circuitry. According to a preferred
embodiment of the invention, the apparatus includes a first
differential-to-single-ended converter, a second
differential-to-single-ended converter and an analog-to-digital
converter. The first differential-to-single-ended converter receives an
incoming differential current pair to be converted into a first
single-ended voltage signal. The second differential-to-single-ended
converter receives an incoming differential voltage pair to be converted
into a second single-ended voltage signal. Further, the analog-to-digital
converter selectively receives an incoming single-ended voltage signal,
the first single-ended voltage signal, or the second single-ended voltage
signal to be converted into a digital signal to be further processed by
the baseband processor. Note that the incoming single-ended voltage
signal, as well as the incoming differential voltage and current signal
pairs together form the multi-mode interface to the RF circuitry.
