MAXIM MAX2769 Technical data

General Description
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.
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.

CC

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

TCXO
/ 16 = 1.023MHz and ICP= 0.5mA. The 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
GPS center frequency of 1575.42MHz at -60dBm per tone.
