Ultra low power GPS receivers

The ultra low power SlimGPS RGPSM202 receivers are fully autonomous modules that provide position, speed and time information derived from the global positioning system. The modules have high level speed accuracy performances and a position accuracy of <5 m. The tracking sensitivity of -143 dBm provides good capabilities in outdoor conditions, including urban areas.

The small form factor and power consumption are suitable for target applications such as personal handheld receivers, palmtops, PDAs, car navigation, car accessories and fleet management systems.

They can be interfaced with any application controller through a simple serial interface, and the drop-in surface mount board facilitates integration into portable equipment. With 38 x 26.5 x 3 mm dimensions, the receivers are designed to simplify the embedded system integration process.

Using just 25 mA at 3.3 V in full power, the receivers have additional low power modes to maximise energy usage and extend battery lifetime.
