The MAX2769 is the industry’s first global navigation
satellite system (GNSS) receiver covering GPS,
GLONASS, and Galileo navigation satellite systems on a
single chip. This single-conversion, low-IF GNSS receiver
is designed to provide high performance for a wide range
of consumer applications, including mobile handsets.
Designed on Maxim’s advanced, low-power SiGe
BiCMOS process technology, the MAX2769 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.
The MAX2769 completely eliminates the need for external
IF filters by implementing on-chip monolithic filters and
requires only a few external components to form a complete low-cost GPS receiver solution.
The MAX2769 is the most flexible receiver on the
market. The integrated delta-sigma fractional-N frequency
synthesizer allows programming of the IF frequency
within a ±40Hz accuracy while operating with any reference or crystal frequencies that are available in the
host system. The integrated ADC outputs 1 or 2 quantized bits for both I and Q channels, or up to 3 quantized bits for the I channel. Output data is available
either at the CMOS logic or at the limited differential
logic levels.
The MAX2769 is packaged in a compact 5mm x 5mm,
28-pin thin QFN package with an exposed paddle. The
part is also available in die form. Contact the factory for
further information.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1: MAX2769 is production tested at TA = +25°C. All min/max specifications are guaranteed by design and characterization
from -40°C to +85°C, unless otherwise noted. Default register settings are not production tested or guaranteed. User must
program the registers upon power-up.
Note 2: Default, low-NF mode of the IC. LNA choice is gated by the ANT_FLAG signal. In the normal mode of operation without an
active antenna, LNA1 is active. If an active antenna is connected and ANT_FLAG switches to 1, LNA1 is automatically
disabled and LNA2 becomes active. PLL is in an integer-N mode with f

complex IF filter is configured as a 5th-order Butterworth filter with a center frequency of 4MHz and bandwidth of 2.5MHz. Output
data is in a 2-bit sign/magnitude format at CMOS logic levels in the I channel only.
Note 3: The LNA output connects to the mixer input without a SAW filter between them.
Note 4: Two tones are located at 12MHz and 24MHz offset frequencies from the GPS center frequency of 1575.42MHz
at -60dBm/tone. Passive pole at the mixer output is programmed to be 13MHz.
Note 5: Measured from the LNA input to the LNA output. Two tones are located at 12MHz and 24MHz offset frequencies from the
