General Description
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.
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.
The MAX2745 is available in a space-saving 48-pin
TQFP package and is specified for the extended (-40°C
to +85°C) temperature range. The power consumption
of this device is as low as 41mW at 2.4V.
