Zusammenfassung:A monolithic wireless receiver (100) suitable for use in a global positionin g system (GPS) or other radio frequency (RF) application suitably includes a mixed-mode integrated circuit and a stacked memory device. The mixed mode integrated circuit appropriately includes a digital portion (104) and an analog portion (106) on a common die. The analog portion implements an RF receiver circuit, and the digital portion includes a signal processor that communicates with the RF receiver. The memory device appropriately communicates with the integrated circuit to store electronic instructions an d data for the signal processor. The monolithic receiver may be conveniently integrated into a portable electronics device such as a camera, personal digital assistant (PDA), portable phone or the like to provide location sensing or other RF functionality.
