Single-Chip Global Positioning System
Receiver Front-End
General Description
Features
The MAX2745 complete single-chip global positioning
system (GPS) RF front-end downconverter utilizes many
innovative and leading-edge RF CMOS design tech-
niques. This high-performance, state-of-the-art device
consumes extremely low power and eliminates the
need for costly SAW and bulky discrete IF filters. The
MAX2745 incorporates a fully integrated low-noise
amplifier (LNA) and mixer, IF section, digital sampler,
and local oscillator synthesizer. The MAX2745 also pro-
vides a voltage supply for an external LNA. In addition,
the MAX2745 features a voltage booster, which can
extend the power-supply voltage to as low as 1.6V.
ꢀ Complete Single-Chip GPS Radio for 16.368MHz
and 32.736MHz Floorplans
ꢀ Single-Ended or Differential Outputs at 4.092MHz
ꢀ Low 3.5dB Typical Noise Figure
ꢀ No External IF SAW or Discrete Filters Required
ꢀ On-Chip Temperature Sensor
ꢀ 2.4V to 3.6V Operational Supply Voltage Range
ꢀ Power Consumption as Low as 41mW at 2.4V
ꢀ Wide -40°C to +85°C Operational Temperature
The MAX2745 supports both 3rd overtone crystal
designs in 32MHz and fundamental frequency crystal
designs in 16MHz, as well as a TCXO implementation.
In addition, the MAX2745 incorporates an on-chip tem-
perature sensor and crystal oscillator with trimmed
capacitors, resulting in a very accurate frequency and
additional system cost savings.
