MAX2769B
Universal GPS Receiver
General Description
Features
The MAX2769B is a next-generation Global Navigation
SatelliteSystem(GNSS)receivercoveringGPS,GLONASS,
Galileo, and Compass navigation satellite systems on
a single chip. This single-conversion GNSS receiver is
designed to provide high performance for industrial and
automotive applications.
S AEC-Q100 Automotive Qualified
S GPS/GLONASS/Galileo/Compass Systems
S 40pF Output Clock Drive Capability
S No External IF SAW or Discrete Filters Required
S Programmable IF Frequency
Designed on Maxim’s advanced, low-power SiGe BiCMOS
process technology, the MAX2769B offers the highest
performance and integration at a low cost. Incorporated
on the chip is the complete receiver chain, including a
dual-input LNA and mixer, followed by the image-rejected
filter, PGA, VCO, fractional-N frequency synthesizer,
crystal oscillator, and a multibit ADC. The total cascaded
noise figure of this receiver is as low as 1.4dB.
S Fractional-N Synthesizer with Integrated VCO
Supports Wide Range of Reference Frequencies
S Dual-Input Uncommitted LNA for Separate Passive
and Active Antenna Inputs
S 1.4dB Cascade Noise Figure
S Integrated Crystal Oscillator
S Integrated Active Antenna Sensor
S 2.7V to 3.3V Supply Voltage
The MAX2769B completely eliminates the need for exter-
nal IF filters by implementing on-chip monolithic filters
and requires only a few external components to form a
complete low-cost GPS RF receiver solution.
S Small, 28-Pin, RoHS-Compliant, Thin QFN Lead-
Free Package (5mm x 5mm)
The MAX2769B is the most flexible receiver on the mar-
ket. The integrated delta-sigma fractional-N frequency
synthesizer allows programming of the IF frequency

ing with any reference or crystal frequencies that are
available in the host system. The ADC outputs CMOS
logic levels with 1 or 2 quantized bits for both I and Q
channels, or up to ± quantized bits for the I channel. I and
Q analog outputs are also available.
