SE4110L
GPS Receiver IC
Applications
High sensitivity / low power GPS and A-GPS
applications
Portable navigation devices, mobile phones and
GPS peripheral devices
Telematics equipment
Product Description
The SE4110L is a highly integrated GPS receiver
offering high performance and low-power operation in a
wide range of low-cost applications. It is particularly
well-suited to mobile phone and high sensitivity L1-band
GPS and A-GPS systems.
The SE4110L includes an on-chip LNA and a low IF
receiver with a linear AGC and 2-bit analogue-to-digital
converter (ADC). The receiver incorporates a fully
integrated image reject mixer so no SAW filter is
required in many applications. There is also an on-chip
IF filter.
The SE4110L supports a wide range of reference
frequencies, addressing both traditional GPS systems
and emerging mobile phone applications. The
synthesizer is highly integrated requiring only two
passive components to implement an off-chip loop filter.
The SE4110L is optimized for the lowest possible
power consumption consistent with the very low
external component count.
The SE4110L incorporates current-controlled low-
spurious output buffers which may optionally be run
from a separate external supply to interface to low
voltage systems. The buffers supply sufficient current to
drive most baseband devices directly.
