2.4.1.2 Two-pin antenna supervisor
The reduced functionality antenna supervisor circuit is connected to two signals: antenna control
(ANT_OFF_N) and antenna status detection (ANT_SHORT_N). The ANT_OFF_N signal is already
enabled and assigned to the LNA_EN pin in MAX-M10S and the ANT_SHORT_N signal can be
assigned to any unused PIO, which may require disabling the previous function of the PIO. To
enable the reduced antenna supervisor, the ANT_SHORT_N signal must be enabled in the receiver
configuration. The polarity of the ANT_SHORT_N signal must also be defined in the receiver
configuration based on the design use case.
The antenna can be supplied by VCC_RF or an external supply. Note that the supply voltage must
be clean, as any noise could directly couple into the RF part of the GNSS receiver which will affect
the overall GNSS performance.
