  • Page 5 Definition of Pin assignment VCC_IN This is the main DC supply for a 3.3V +- 5% DC input power module board. GND provides the ground for digital part. BOOTSEL Set this pin to high for programming flash. This is the main receiver channel and is used to receive software commands to the board from SIRFdemo software or from user written software.
  • Page 6: Application Circuit

    Backup battery (V_BAT) This is the battery backup input that powers the SRAM and RTC when main power is removed. Typical current draw is 15uA. Without an external backup battery, the module/engine board will execute a cold star after every turn on. To achieve the faster start-up offered by a hot or warm start, a battery backup must be connected.

  • Page 14 The default communication parameters for PORT B are 9600 Baud, 8data bits, 0 stop bits, and no parity. If a DGPS receiver is used which has different communication parameters, use this command to allow the receiver to correctly decode the data. When a valid message is received, the parameters will be stored in battery backed SRAM and then the receiver will restart using the saved parameters.
