2.2 General Description The ATR0630 has been designed especially for mobile applications. It provides high isolation between GPS and cellular bands, as well as very low power consumption. ATR0630 is based on the successful ANTARIS4 technology which includes the ANTARIS ROM software, developed by u-blox AG, Switzerland.
ATR0630 [Preliminary] 2.7 VGA/AGC The on-chip automatic gain control (AGC) stage sets the gain of the VGA in order to optimally load the input of the following analog-to-digital converter. The AGC control loop can be selected for on-chip closed-loop operation or for baseband controlled gain mode. 2.8 Analog-to-digital Converter The analog-to-digital converter stage has a total resolution of 1.5 bits. It comprises balanced comparators and a sub-sampling unit, clocked by the reference frequency (fXTO).

3.3 Setting GPSMODE0 to GPSMODE12 The start-up configuration of this ROM-based system without external non-volatile memory is defined by the status of the GPSMODE pins after system reset. Alternatively, the system can be configured through message commands passed through the serial interface after start-up. This configuration of the ATR0630 can be stored in an external non-volatile memory like EEPROM. Default designates settings used by ROM firmware if GPSMODE configuration is disabled (GPSMODE0 = 0).

ATR0630 [Preliminary] 3.4.1 USB Power Mode For correct response to the USB host queries, the device has to know its power mode. This is configured via GPSMODE7. If set to bus powered, an upper current limit of 100 mA is reported to the USB host; that is, the device classifies itself as a “low-power bus-powered function” with no more than one USB power unit load.

ATR0630 [Preliminary] 3.5 Connecting an Optional Serial EEPROM The ATR0630 offers the possibility of connecting an external serial EEPROM. The internal ROM firmware supports storing the configuration of the ATR0630 in serial EEPROM. The pin P16/NEEPROM signals the firmware that a serial EEPROM is connected to the ATR0630. The ATR0630’s 32-bit RISC processor accesses the external memory via SPI (serial peripheral interface). For best results, use a 32-Kbit 1.8V serial EEPROM such as Atmel’s AT25320AY1-1.8.
4. Power Supply The ATR0630 is supplied with six distinct supply voltages: • The power supplies for the RF part (VCC1, VCC2, VBP) within 2.7V to 3.3V. • VDIG, the 1.8V supply of the digital pins of the RF part (SIGHI, SIGLO and CLK23). VDIG should be connected to VDD18. • VDD18, the nominal 1.8V supply voltage for the core, the I/O pins, the memory interface and the test pins and all GPIO pins not mentioned in next item. • VDDIO, the variable supply voltage within 1.8V to 3.
