UC6226NIS-E310E2 (QFN40) Hardware Reference Design 1 Reference Design 1.1 Basic Design External LNA RTC Crystal UART interface It is recommended to use an external independent LDO to power the TCXO. The specification of the external power should meet the requirement of the TCXO.
1.2 Antenna Detection Main Supply: 1.20V~1.98V RF, Short 50ohm Line IO Supply: 1.77V~1.88V Backup Supply: 1.65V~3.6V UC6226-QFN40 TCXO VANT: +3.3 V Antenna State OPEN_DET SHORT_DET Open circuit Short circuit Normal In the figure above, “VANT” is a standard power supply of +3.3 V which feeds the antenna through a 33 nH inductor L5 at the upper right.
UC6226NIS-E310E2 (QFN40) Hardware Reference Design If the antenna power supply and the chip’s main supply use the same power rail, the ESD, surge and overvoltage from the antenna will have an effect on the main supply, which may cause damage to the chip. Therefore, it’s recommended to design an independent power rail for the antenna to reduce the possibility of damage to the chip.
2.2 RTC RTC is usually driven by 32.768 kHz oscillator, which needs to connect external 32.768 kHz crystal. If GNSS hot start function is not needed, RTC crystal can be omitted. Under this condition, RTC_O should be grounded, and RTC_I should be floating. UC6226 also supports external 32.768 kHz digital clock signal directly input RTC_I pin to replace the crystal.
UC6226NIS-E310E2 (QFN40) Hardware Reference Design 2.3 TCXO The CLK_I pin is used for connecting an external TCXO of 26 MHz. It is recommended to use an external independent LDO to power the TCXO. The basic parameter requirements for TCXO are as follows: Frequency and temperature: 26 MHz ±...
