GLONASS and BeiDou constellations yields better coverage, greater accuracy, and improved availability. The SE868-V3 module is based on the SiRFstar 5e (B02) flash GNSS chip. The SE868-V3 is pin-compatible with the SE868-V2 and JF2 modules with some differences for drop-in replacement. See Section 5 Product Compatibility for details.
Product Variants 2.2.1. Hardware The first generation of SE868-V3 (Gen 1) was replaced by the second generation (Gen 2) variant in January 2016. SE868-V3 (Gen 2) is fully backward compatible and has a reduced power consumption of approximately ~35%. SE868-V3...

SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 Product Features 4.1. Multi-Constellation Navigation GPS and GLONASS constellations are enabled by default. The user may enable or disable GPS, GLONASS, and/or BDS constellations via OSP command MID 222,16. Use of GLONASS or BDS alone may not give optimum positioning results depending on the region that the receiver is located in.

SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 This feature is useful for applications in which very low dynamics are not expected, the classic example being an automotive application. Static Navigation is disabled by default, but can be enabled by OSP command MID 143.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 4.10. Internal LNA The module has an adjustable gain internal LNA which allows the receiver to compensate for the use of various external antennas. The default gain (low or high) is determined by the version of firmware installed in the module.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 4.12. 1PPS 1PPS is a one pulse per second signal which is enabled after the receiver has achieved a 5- satellite Kalman filter position fix. It is disabled when the fix goes invalid. However, if Velocity DR (see Section 4.8 Velocity Dead-Reckoning) is enabled, the 1PPS pulse is disabled after the position fix becomes invalid and the Velocity DR timeout has expired.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 4.17. Power Management Modes The receiver features several operating modes that provide reduced power consumption. Availability of GNSS signals in the operational environment will be a factor in choosing power management modes. The designer can choose a mode that provides the best trade-off of navigation performance versus power consumption.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 4.17.2.2. SmartGNSS II SmartGNSS II includes the benefits of SmartGNSS I and achieves further power reduction by minimizing the usage of the secondary GNSS constellation. The adaptive mechanism adjusts constellation usage based on signal conditions to maintain performance while minimizing power consumption.
SiRFstarIV and V-based designs. The SE868-V3 offers an upgrade path from existing Telit and competitive designs. The SE868-V3 is footprint-compatible with the SE868-V2 & JF2 family but it is not a drop-in replacement. Some of the pins have a slightly different function. The designer will have to modify the antenna and possibly other components in the RF path to accommodate the GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo as well as the GPS signals.
SPI flash. • For the SE868-V3, GPIO8 is an output signal that can be used to enable or disable an external LNA. The LNA should be enabled when GPIO8 is high and disabled when low. For passive antennas, GPIO8 can normally be left unconnected or connected to monitor the status of the receiver.

The module will power up into the state determined by the ON-OFF pin (High: RUN; Low: HIBERNATE). The current state of the SE868-V3 can be determined by monitoring the “SYSTEM-ON” signal. See section 9.4.4 ON-OFF (input) and SYSTEM-ON (output).
1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 9.4.4. ON-OFF (input) and SYSTEM-ON (output) The SE868-V3 module has three power states: OFF, RESET, and ON. The ON state has three substates: HIBERNATE, STANDBY, and RUN. The OFF state exists when power is removed from the module.

SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 9.5. Reset The module will generate an internal reset as appropriate. Therefore, no external signal is required for the module to operate properly and this pin may be left unconnected. If an external reset is desired, the signal must be either open collector or open drain without any form of pull up.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 9.7. Host I/O Port Configuration and Operation The receiver module includes two serial ports which are configured for the desired interface. The first host port can be configured to communicate using a UART, I2C, or SPI interface.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 9.7.2. Host Port Configuration for 2nd Port (port 1) The second host port default configuration in determined in the firmware build. 9.7.3. UART Operation Upon power up, the module will communicate using a standard asynchronous 8 bit protocol with output messages appearing on the TX line and input commands and data being received on the RX line.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 9.7.4. C Operation Upon power up, the module acts as a master transmitter and a slave receiver (multi-master mode) on the second port. When used in I C mode, external pull-ups in the range of 1K to 2.2K to a 1.8V to 3.6V power supply are required on the RX and TX lines.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 9.7.5. SPI Operation See Section 9.7.1 Host Port Configuration for 1st Port to specify SPI interface. The 2 port cannot be configured for SPI interface since there are only two pins available.
No DC voltage can be applied to the RF input. The RF input pin is ESD sensitive. The SE868-V3 contains an integrated LNA and pre-select SAW filter. This allows the module to work well with a passive GNSS antenna. If the antenna cannot be located near the module, then an active antenna (that is, an antenna with a built in low noise amplifier) should be used.

SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 Along with power and ground, the minimum signals required to operate the module properly are: one RF input and four digital lines. The RF input can be connected directly to a passive GNSS antenna.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 RF Front End Design 11.1. RF Signal Requirements The receiver can achieve Cold Start acquisition with a signal level above the specified minimum at its input. This means that it can acquire and track visible satellites, download the necessary ephemeris data and compute the location within a 5 minute period.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 The satellite transmit power is specified in each constellation’s reference documentation, readily available online. The GNSS signal is relatively immune to attenuation from rainfall. However, the GNSS signal is heavily influenced by attenuation due to foliage (such as tree canopies, etc.) as well as outright blockage caused by buildings, terrain or other items near the...
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 11.3. Active versus Passive Antenna If the GNSS antenna is placed near the receiver and the RF trace losses are not excessive (nominally 1 dB), then a passive antenna may be used. This would often be the lowest cost option and most of the time the simplest to use.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 11.5. External LNA Gain and Noise Figure The modules can be used with an external LNA (usually built into an active antenna). Because of the internal LNA, the overall external gain (including signal losses past the external LNA) should conform to the specification in Table 4-1 Internal gain value and external gain range for best performance.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 The simplified formula is: C/No = GNSS Signal level – Thermal Noise – System NF Thermal noise is -174 dBm/Hz at 290K. Equation 11-2 Carrier to Noise Ratio We can estimate a system noise figure of 4 dB for the module, consisting of the pre-select SAW filter loss, the LNA noise figure, and implementation losses within the digital signal processing unit.
11.9. Implications of the Pre-Select SAW Filter The SE868-V3 modules include a pre-select SAW filter in front of the internal LNA. Thus the RF input of the module is connected directly to the SAW filter. Any circuit connected to the RF input pin would see a complex impedance presented by the SAW filter (especially out of band), rather than the relatively broad and flat return loss presented by an LNA.
SE868-V3 Product User Guide 1VV0301205 r4 – 2016-01-20 Simulations done by Telit show the following: Inductor Additional signal loss (dB) Murata LQG15HS27NJ02 0.65 Quarter wave stub on FR4 0.59 Coilcraft B09TJLC (used in ref. design) 0.37 Table 11-1 Inductor Loss Since this additional loss occurs after the LNA, it is generally not significant unless the circuit is being designed to work with both active and passive antennas.
