Model MAX2769 is a universal, single-chip global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver for Global Positioning System (GPS), Galileo, and GLONASS navigation satellite systems. By achieving a total cascaded noise figure of 1.4 dB, the receiver chip eliminates the need for an external low-noise amplifier (LNA). The chip, which is fabricated on low-lower silicon-germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS process technology, includes a dual-input LNA, image-reject filter, variable-gain amplifier (VGA), voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), fractional-N frequency synthesizer, crystal oscillator, and analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
