Product Description Product Description EB-5631RE GPS module features high sensitivity, low power and ultra small form factor. This GPS module is powered by SiRF Star IV, it can provide you with superior sensitivity and performance even in urban canyon and dense foliage environment. With SiRF CGEE (Client Generated Extended Ephemeris) technology, it predicts satellite positions for up to 3 days and delivers CGEE-start time of less than 15 seconds under most conditions, without any network assistance.

(For example, control LED) TIMEMARK One pulse per second output.(1PPS) ON_OFF pin is used to command the ON_OFF EB-5631RE to turn on or off WAKE_UP System power on, 1.8V output . This is the main transmits channel for outputting navigation and measurement data to user’s navigation software or user...
OFF command is a software feature based on interrupts related to rising and/or falling edges and/or sensing of pin levels. 3. The WAKE_UP pin is an output from the EB-5631RE used to enable an external PMIC. A low on this output indicates that the EB-5631RE is in one of its low-power states (KA-only, Hibernate, or Standby mode) and requires no more than 60μA of current on the VIO_18 input.

Note: A valid status is derived from all the parameters set in the software. This includes the minimum number of satellites required, any DOP mask setting, presence of DGPS corrections, etc. If the default or current software setting requires that a factor is met, then if that factor is not met the solution will be marked as invalid.

NMEA Input Command A). Set Serial Port ID: 100 Set PORTA parameters and protocol This command message is used to set the protocol (SiRF Binary, NMEA, or USER1) and/or the communication parameters (baud, data bits, stop bits, parity). Generally, this command would be used to switch the module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode where a more extensive command message set is available.
