STMicroelectronics STA5620
The chip is a fully integrated RF front-end able to down-convert the GPS L1 signal from 1575.42MHz to 4.092MHz. The IF signal is converted by a two bit ADC.FEATURES
● Low IF architecture (fIF = 4fO)● Minimum external components

● VGA gain internally regulated On chip programmable PLL Typ. 2.7V supply voltage SPI interface 2kV HBM ESD protected Compatible with GPS L1 Standard QFN-32 package Low power for portable designs The magnitude data is internally integrated in order to control the variable gain amplifiers in accordance to the RF input signal strength. An excellent quality of reception in critical environments is ensured by the good noise figure and linearity of the receiver. The on-chip oscillator supports crystal frequencies in the range of 10MHz to 40MHz. It is able to support TCXO providing also a buffered copy of the oscillator frequency. The chip, using STMicroelectronics BiCMOS SiGe technology, is housed in a QFN-32 package. VFQFPN-32L
