GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SAA1575HL is an integrated circuit which implements a complete baseband function for Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers. It combines a 16-bit Philips 80C51XA microcontroller, 8 GPS channel correlators and related peripherals in a single IC. Users can implement a complete GPS receiver using only the SAA1575HL, the UAA1570HL front-end Philips IC (or similar), external memory and a few discrete components.
FEATURES
• Single-chip GPS baseband solution with built-in 16-bit microcontroller
• All digital, 0.5 micron CMOS technology
