SE4120L GNSS Receiver IC Applications Product Description The SE4120L is a highly-integrated GNSS radio front end IC offering high performance and low power operation in a wide range of low-cost applications. It supports GPS and dual-mode L1-band GPS/Galileo products. The SE4120L features a conditioned interface for software implementations of GNSS baseband signal processing. Dual-mode GPS and Galileo receivers Software-defined GNSS radio systems High sensitivity / low power GNSS / A-GNSS apps. Portable navigation devices, mobile phones, and GNSS peripheral devices Telematics equipment The SE4120L includes an on-chip LNA, a low IF receiver with a linear AGC and an advanced multi-bit I/Q analog to digital converter (ADC) with serialized data output. The receiver incorporates a fully integrated image reject mixer, obviating the need for a SAW filter in many applications. The SE4120L’s on-chip IF filter may be adjusted from 2.2 MHz BW (for GPS only) to 4.4MHz BW (for simultaneous reception of Galileo and GPS signals). The digitized I/Q output, centered nearzero IF, is available in a serialized data stream to facilitate software signal processing. Features Single conversion L1-band GPS/Galileo radio with integrated IF filter 2-bit serialized digital I/Q output at near-zero IF Integrated LNA with high-gain (18.5 dB typ.) and low NF (1.7 dB typ.) Low 2.2 dB typ. RF system noise figure Low 10 mA operating current with 2.7-3.6 V supply; 8 mA with internal LNA disabled Low Standby current 3 μA typical Fully integrated VCO and resonator Integrated PLL supporting 16.368 MHz reference frequency I/O supply range extends down to 1.7 V 4 x 4 mm 24 pin QFN, RoHS-compliant package The highly-integrated PLL synthesizer of the SE4120L requires only two passive components to implement an off-chip loop filter. The SE4120L is optimized for the lowest possible power consumption consistent with a very low external component count. Ordering Information Part No. Package SE4120L-R 24 Pin QFN The SE4120L incorporates current-controlled lowspurious output buffers which may be run from a separate external supply to interface to low voltage systems. Output buffers supply sufficient current to drive most baseband devices directly.
