10mA (1.8V) in 1-Hz TricklePower™ mode and can maintain hot-start conditions continuously in SiRFaware™ mode while drawing as little as 50-500uA. The JF2 offers A-GPS support and operate with a 1.8V power supply. JF2 supports a full range of satellite-based augmentation systems, including WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN.
SYSTEM-ON is HIGH. 5Hz Navigation – The JF2 can run with a navigation update rate of 1Hz or 5Hz. This is controllable in NMEA and OSP mode. Note that the UART baud rate will need to be increased to support the higher message output (about 38400 baud minimum in NMEA).
NMEA version 3.0 protocol is supported as well as the new SiRF ONE SOCKET binary PROTOCOL (OSP). 3.2. Receiver Architecture The functional architecture of the JF2 receiver is shown in Figure 1. Note: The LNA is included in the GPS chip for passive antenna operation. ACTIVE/PASS VDD 18...
JF2 Product Description 80403ST10103A Rev.7 – 2013-04-18 3.3. Major Components All power supply components are on board including capacitors and additional Power-On- Reset (POR) for the 1.8V supply. A 1.8V always ON supply with noise and ripple characteristics mentioned in section 5.1 is critical for reliable operation.
POR is required. 3.3.7. Host Port The JF2 has a single HOST port. The user can select between UART, I2C and SPI ports through the use of external pull-up and pull-downs resistors. See the HW User Guide for more details.
3.4. Physical Characteristics The JF2 receiver has advanced miniature packaging and a LGA footprint and is smaller than the Jupiter 32 and similar in size to the Jupiter3 (J3). It is a surface mount device packaged on a printed circuit board, with a metallic RF enclosure on one side. There are 32 surface mount connection pads with a base metal of copper and an Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG) finish.
80403ST10103A Rev.7 – 2013-04-18 3.10. Marking/Serialization The JF2 supports a 2D barcode indicating the unit serial number below. The Telit 13-character serial number convention is: ‐ characters 1 and 2: year of manufacture (e.g. 12 = 2012, 13 = 2013) ‐...
JF2 Product Description 80403ST10103A Rev.7 – 2013-04-18 Software 4.1. TTFF (Time to First Fix) TTFF is the actual time required by a GPS receiver to achieve a valid position solution. This specification will vary with the operating state of the receiver, the length of time since the last position fix, the location of the last fix, and the specific receiver design.
Micro Power mode is a very low power maintenance mode implementing SiRFaware technology. In this mode the JF2 remains predominantly in the Hibernate state, but exits this state only as needed to maintain location awareness and valid ephemeris data. Thus high Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A.
GSV at once per second will require at least a baud rate of 19200. This will ensure that the messages are outputted within about 0.75 seconds. Note that the JF2 will continue to run in 1Hz navigation until it gets a navigation fix. Once a navigation fix is attained, it will transition into 5Hz navigation.
JF2 Product Description 80403ST10103A Rev.7 – 2013-04-18 4.7. Dynamic Constraints The JF2 receiver will lose track if any of the following limits are exceeded: ‐ ITAR limits: velocity greater than 514 m/s AND altitude above 18,288 m ‐ altitude: 24,000 m (max) or -500 m (min) ‐...

Refer to the HW User Guide for more details. 6.1.2. External Antenna Voltage The JF2 requires an external antenna Bias-T to provide the voltage to the antenna. This is detailed in the HW User Guide. 6.1.3. RF (Radio Frequency) Input RF input is 1575.42 MHz (L1 Band) at a level between –135 dBm and –165 dBm into 50...
JF2 will drop into Hibernate mode and the patch RAM and CGEE will be cleared. The JF2 will require an ON pulse once the supply has stabilized to wake up the GPS receiver and return to a full power state (CGEE must be reloaded). If the supply voltage drops low enough for a long enough period of time the RAM/BBRAM will be cleared and the GPS will carry out a Cold start once woken up.
80403ST10103A Rev.7 – 2013-04-18 6.2. Data Input/Output Specifications All communications between the JF2 receiver and external devices are through the I/O surface mount pads. These provide the contacts for power, ground, serial I/O and control. Power requirements are discussed in the following sections.
