    GPS receiver GPS receiver General This description is focussed on the GPS receiver of the FALCOM JP2 series from FALCOM GmbH. It contains some short information about purpose and use of the GPS receiver. The GPS receiver is a single-board 12 parallel channel receiver intended as a component for OEM Products.
  • Page 28: Product Overview

    Description GPS receiver Product overview The GPS receiver requires conditioned 3,3 V DC power and a GPS signal from a passive or active antenna. The 12 channel architecture provides rapid Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) under all start-up conditions. As long as visible satellites are not obscured, acquisition is guaranteed under all initialisation con- ditions.

    Description GPS receiver ❐ Initialised start: is if last known position (in EEPROM) and time are available. Satellite data validity has expired. ❐ Cold start: means only almanac information is used. ❐ Frozen start: no valid internal data source available. Built in test (BIT) mode A BIT is available on command from the application software using binary Message 1300.
  • Page 31: Serial Communication Signals

    Description GPS receiver In this state, a portion of the GPS receiver's RF circuitry is de-ener- gized, the SRAMs are transitioned into their low power data reten- tion state, and the RTC device is maintained. When the GPS recei- ver is placed into this low power state through the use of the M_RST control signal, the GPS receiver will continue to draw current from the primary input power (PWRIN) but at a reduced level.
