MOTOROLA RF/IF DEVICE DATA
Integrated GPS Downconverter
This integrated circuit is intended for GPS receiver applications. The dual
conversion design is implemented in Motorola’s low–cost,
high–performance MOSAIC 5 silicon bipolar process and is packaged in a
low–cost surface mount LQFP–48 package. In addition to the mixers, a
VCO, PLL, Crystal Oscillator, A/D converter and a loop filter are integrated
on–chip. Output IF is nominally 4.1 MHz.
•105 dB Typical Conversion Gain
•2.7 V Operation
•28 mA Typical Current Consumption
•Low–Cost, Low–Profile Plastic LQFP Package
MOSAIC 5 is a trademark of Motorola, Inc.
