The MAX2140 complete receiver is designed for satellite
d ig ita l a ud io ra d io s e rvic e s (SDARS). The d e vic e
includes a fully monolithic VCO and only needs a SAW at
the IF and a crystal to generate the reference frequency.
♦ Integrated Receiver, Requires Only One SAW
Filter
♦ Self-Contained RF AGC Loop
♦ Differential I/Q Interface
To form a c omp le te SDARS ra d io, the MAX2140
requires only a low-noise amplifier (LNA), which can be
controlled by a baseband controller. The small number
of external components needed makes the MAX2140-
based platform the lowest cost and the smallest solu-
tion for SDARS.
♦ Complete Integrated Frequency Generation
♦ Bias Supply for External LNAs
♦ Overcurrent Protection
♦ Low-Power Standby Mode
♦ Very Small 44-Pin Thin QFN Package
The receiver includes a self-contained RF AGC loop
and baseband-controlled IF AGC loop, effectively pro-
viding a total dynamic range of over 92dB.
Channel selectivity is ensured by the SAW filter and by
on-chip monolithic lowpass filters.

The fractional-N PLL allows a very small frequency
step, making possible the implementation of an AFC
loop . Ad d itiona lly, the re fe re nc e is p rovid e d b y a n
external XTAL and on-chip oscillator. A reference buffer
output is also provided.

The MAX2140 minimizes the requirement on the base-
band controller. No compensation or calibration proce-
dures are required. The device is available in a 7mm ✕
