DESCRIPTION
NEC's UPB1008K is a Silicon RFIC especially designed for handheld low power/low cost GPS receivers. The IC combines an LNA, followed by a double-conversion RF/IF downconverter block and a PLL frequency synthesizer on one chip. The second IF Freqency is a pseudo- baseband signal into a on-chip 2-bit A/D converters.The device can operate on a supply voltage as low as 2.7 V, and is a housed in a small 36 pin QFN (Quad, Flat, No-lead) package, resulting in a very low power consumption and reduced board space. NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure the highest reliability and performance.

ADVANCED GPS COMPLETE SOLUTION
"NEC Corporation and eRide, Inc. have teamed to provide an advanced positioning solution delivering high GPS performance, accuracy, integration and architecture flexibility. The chip set combines CEL's UPB1008K receiver IC with eRide's Opus One SOC (System-on-a-Chip) Baseband ASIC and is suitable for standard GPS products as well as Cellular Handset applications. Also provided are scalable client navigation software and drivers, plus location-aiding data from eRide's Smart Server. Together, they offer a complete hardware/infrastructure solution. The chip set's design allows it to operate independently of wireless interface standards - and independently of the host product's CPU and Operating System. This unique approach to system integration makes it easy to deploy the chip set into an wireless application, in any wireless network. A "Universal Hardware" solution, the design promises lower manufacturing costs and, ultimately lower cost to the consumer. The chip set's advanced positioning architecture offers unmatched sensitivity providing fast, accurate positioning architecture offers unmatched sensitivity providing fast and accurate position fixes, even when indoors or in deep in urban canyons."
