Also included is a test procedure for the MAX2769 evaluation kit (EV kit) and some suggested SPI™ register settings for evaluation purposes. Introduction The MAX2769 is a low-cost, single-conversion, low-IF GPS receiver chip that offers more flexibility and performance than its predecessors. This device covers a wide range of GPS applications such as mobile handsets, PDAs and embedded PC, and automotive applications. It represents the most flexible, high-performance, low-power GPS receiver on the market. IC Features Low DC Power Consumption Power required is typically 16mA to 23mA at 3V. Using SPI control, the device can be placed in idle mode, in which only the clock buffer and temperature sensor are active and the current consumption drops to 0.5mA. Low Associated BOM Cost and Reduced Size The MAX2769 is a direct down-conversion design with internal filtering that eliminates the need for external filtering components. An excellent noise figure (NF) of 1.4dB for the cascaded chain (with a 0.8dB typical first-stage NF) allows this device to be used with a passive antenna. No external LNA is required. Because the design removes intermediate frequency filtering and preamplification, the MAX2769 requires less board space to implement a receiver. Flexibility for Applications Involving Active Antennas A designer can use this device with an active antenna, as in an automotive application. For an active-antenna application, a second internal path can be selected, which leads to a different LNA (LNA2) with lower gain (13dB vs. 19dB) and a slightly
