We present the first single-input multiple-output (SIMO) receiver ASIC that jointly performs jammer mitigation, channel estimation, and data detection. The ASIC implements a recent algorithm called siMultaneous mitigAtion, Estimation, and Detection (MAED). MAED mitigates smart jammers via spatial filtering using a nonlinear optimization problem that unifies jammer estimation and nulling, channel estimation, and data detection to achieve state-of-the-art error-rate performance under jamming. The design supports eight receive antennas and enables mitigation of smart jammers as well as of barrage jammers. The ASIC is fabricated in 22 nm FD-SOI, has a core area of 0.32 mm$^2$, and achieves a throughput of 100 Mb/s at 223 mW, thus delivering 3$\times$ higher per-user throughput and 4.5$\times$ higher area efficiency than the state-of-the-art jammer-resilient detector.
