RF/IF FREQUENCY DOWN-CONVERTER +
PLL FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER IC FOR GPS RECEIVER
DESCRIPTION
The
µ
PB1008K is a silicon monolithic integrated circuit for GPS receiver. This IC is designed as double conversion
RF block integrated Pre-Amplifier + RF/IF down-converter + PLL frequency synthesizer on 1 chip.
This IC has IQ recovery function, builds a 2-bit A/D converter in both I channels and Q channels, respectively, and
carries them in 36-pin plastic QFN package.
This IC is manufactured using our 30 GHz f
max
UHS0 (Ultra High Speed Process) silicon bipolar process.
FEATURES
• Double conversion
• Integrated RF block
• Needless to input counter data
• VCO side division
• Reference division
• Supply voltage
• Low current consumption
• Gain adjustable externally
• Power-save function
• High-density surface mountable
