GPS Down Converter IC
Description The CXA3355ER is an IC developed as a GPS RF down converter. This IC realizes a reduction in the number of external parts by integrating an LNA, image rejection mixer, IF filter, PLL and VCO (L, C) into a small package with low current consumption. Features * Includes all functions required for the GPS down converter * Low voltage operation: VCC = 1.6 to 2.0V * Low current consumption (active mode): 11mA (Typ. at VCC = 1.8V, IF 1MHz) * Low current consumption (power save mode) < 1A * Total gain 100dB * Total NF 4dB * On-chip VCO and PLL * Supports typical TCXO frequencies (13MHz, 16.368MHz, 18.414MHz, etc.) * On-chip LNA (LNA NF: 2.0dB) * Image rejection mixer * On-chip IF filter, and an external filter can be connected as an option for further band narrowing. * 1-bit IF output * Antenna sense function Applications GPS down converter IC Structure SiGe BiCMOS monolithic IC 44 pin VQFN (Plastic)

2. Using an External Filter When using the CXA3355ER in 4fo mode with the initial settings (see page 17) which do not require serial data setting, input and output are performed via the test circuit located between the internal IF filter and the IF AMP2 in the following stage, so an external filter is necessary. The external filter uses Pins 36 to 39. Differential I/O is performed with Pin 38 (TESTOUTP) and Pin 39 (TESTOUTN) as the internal IF filter output pins and Pin 36 (TESTINP) and Pin 37 (TESTINN) as the input pins to IF AMP2. Also, the impedance is 200 (differential) for both input and output. Note that the bias voltage is determined inside the IC, so Pins 36 and 37 should not be connected directly with Pins 38 and 39. When not using an external filter, eliminate the DC components using an approximately 10nF capacitor. The overall external filter block and the external filter configuration are shown below.

CXA3355ER
Description of Operation Overview of Operation This IC down-converts the GPS (Global Positioning System) frequency of 1.57542GHz to fo (fo: 1.023MHz) or 4fo (4fo: 4.092MHz). The internal configuration is divided into the analog block, consisting of the amplifier, mixer and filters, and the digital block (including the comparator block and the control block), which forms the PLL. The analog block converts the frequency and amplifies the signal with the amplifier and the mixer, and eliminates undesired components with the filters. The digital block can switch the PLL frequency division ratio in order to down convert the output signal to fo or 4fo. 1. LNA The GPS signal that passes through the antenna is input to Pin 24 via a matching circuit as shown in the figure below. The input signal is amplified by the LNA, and then output from Pin 27. Always use matching circuits for the LNA input pin (Pin 24) and the LNA output pin (Pin 27), and match at 1.57542GHz. 2. RF Amplifier, RF Mixer, IF Phase Shifter and Adder The signal amplified by the LNA passes through the SAW filter, and is then input to Pin 30 via a matching circuit. The input signal is amplified by the RF amplifier, and then down-converted by the RF mixer to the fo (1.023MHz) or 4fo (4.092MHz) I and Q components. The IF signal down-converted to the I and Q components has the image component eliminated by the phase shifter and the adder, and is then input to the IF filter. Always use a matching circuit for the RF amplifier input pin (Pin 30), and match at 1.57542GHz.

3. IF Filter The IF signal that passed through the adder has the undesired components outside the band eliminated by the IF filter. In fo mode the signal passes through only the LPF and is input to IF AMP2. In 4fo mode the signal passes through the LPF and then the HPF and is input to IF AMP2. Note that fo mode and 4fo mode can be switched by the serial data setting. Set the serial data setting register FIL to "0" for fo mode (LPF) or to "1" for 4fo mode (BPF). In addition, an external filter can also be connected to this IC using Pins 36 to 39. (See page 20.)

4. IF AMP2 and A/D Converter The signal that passed through the IF filter is amplified by IF AMP2, converted to a binary signal by the A/D converter, and then output from the DATA output pin (Pin 7). The A/D converter performs sampling at the TCXO CLK. In addition, the A/D converter output voltage high level is VCC2 (1.6 to 3.3V), so a wide range of interfaces can be supported. 5. TCXO (Pin 14) Input the signal from the external oscillator to Pin 14 via a capacitor as the reference signal. Input frequencies from 10MHz to 26MHz are supported. The input signal level from the external oscillator should be 1.2Vp-p or less (0.6Vp-p typ., 0.2Vp-p min.). This is also the same in power save mode. However, using the typical level of 0.6Vp-p is recommended from the viewpoint of reducing harmful waves to the receive block, etc. 6. TCXO CLK Output (Pin 13) This IC can output TCXO CLK from Pin 13 according to the serial data setting. The output voltage high level is VCC2 (1.6 to 3.3V), so a wide range of interfaces can be supported. Set the serial data setting register CLK to "0" when not using TCXO CLK, or to "1" when using TCXO CLK. (See page 18.)

7. PLL/VCO The PLL is comprised by a VCO, frequency divider and phase/frequency comparator as shown in the figure below, and incorporates an inductor, varactor and all other necessary components. The loop filter is externally connected. Use components that satisfy the required characteristics. Serial data setting is unnecessary when this IC is used with the typical TCXO and IF combinations set by the initial settings shown in page 17. When making serial data settings, set counter frequency division values that satisfy the following equations. * fVCO = (M x N + A) x (fTCXO x 2) / R * (fTCXO x 2) / R > 800kHz * N 3, R 3 fVCO: VCO oscillation frequency, fTCXO: TCXO frequency MC data = N, SC data = A, RC data = R, DMPS data = M = 24 (fixed)

9. Antenna Sense The power supply lines are separated internally, so antenna sense operation at the supply voltage (VCC3) of 3.0 0.3V is recommended. Note that the antenna sense function does not operate independently, so voltage should also be applied to the other power supply pins (VCC1, VCC2) for use in active mode. In addition, leave the power supply pin (VCC3) open when not using the antenna sense function. The antenna sense function checks whether an antenna is connected. Pin 2 (DIAG) outputs high voltage when an antenna is not connected, or low voltage when an antenna is connected. A current limiting circuit is provided as a countermeasure against short circuits. The DIAG pin voltage switching point is as shown in the table below. V1, V2, V3 and Ib in the table below are as follows. V1: 10 to 60mV Threshold voltage at which connection of the prescribed load is detected from the open status V2: 140 to 200mV Threshold voltage for switching to the short status from the prescribed load connected status. V3: 250mV Current limiting threshold voltage. Ib: 1.7 to 2.1mA Base current in the normal connection status.
