| Reference clock |
18.414MHz TCXO |
The TCXO also supplies the baseband clock. In this reference design, GPS clock output from the MAX2742 is not used. |
| GPS baseband |
Sony CXD2932 |
The CXD2932 also controls active antenna supply, RESET function. See details below. |
| Antenna control block |
Antenna supply control with p-MOSFET and current-sense resistor |
The sense resistor feeds the antenna supply information back to CXD2932. There are three possible conditions: normal, short, and open. |
| RESET/delay circuitry |
Different levels of RESET, and delay circuit required by CXD2932 |
To ensure successful startup, CXD2932 requires two RESET signals 100ms apart. |
| Baseband interface |
TX: external control command |
|
| 1PPS: one pulse-per-second signal |
This signal is aligned with GPS atomic clock. |
