SY1017C
GNSS ADC and PLL
OBSOLETE - suggested replacement: SY1017A
Description
The SY1017C is a radiation hardened AD/DA-converter and interface ASIC for GNSS receivers aimed at aerospace applications. Listed in the ESA preferred part list (EPPL), Part-2. It is synergistically designed to operate together with the SY1007 GNSS RF front-ends and its purpose is to interface these two devices to a GNSS baseband processor. The SY1017C integrates two flash AD-converters, a low speed DA-converter, a sampling clock PLL frequency synthesizer and a configuration register accessible via a serial interface. The two flash AD-converters are meant for quadrature conversion to digital of near base-band GNSS signals, feature 3-bit resolution and a sampling frequency up to 50MHz. The sampling clock may be either generated by the on-chip PLL or supplied by an external clock generator. An 8-bit multiplying low speed DA-converter is also integrated. Its purpose is to generate the control voltage for the gain control of the SY1007 and SY1008 in order to implement AGC.
