    Serial 2 (DGPS) 4800 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control • Antenna (Antenna connected to Antenna Pin – A1029-A only) Use ground pins (pin 21, pin 23) close to the antenna input for RF ground.
  • Page 25: Dead Reckoning Interface

    GPS Receivers A1029 6 Dead Reckoning Interface Dead Reckoning (DR) functionality requires the correct firmware (“2xx”) and the correct hardware set-up on the main board. Two digital signals (odometer and re- verse), a gyro and according power supply for the internal ADC are necessary to support this feature.

  • Page 28: Power Supply For Internal Adc

    GPS Receivers A1029 6.3 Power Supply for Internal ADC The internal ADC requires a separate power supply on pin Vcc3A. The power should be derived from the same source that is used for the gyro. This way, oscilla- tions of the power source affect the gyro and the ADC and therefore minimize the negative effects.

    9 Use of Antenna 9.1 Connection of RF Signal This chapter affects the GPS receiver module A1029-A only. The ANT pin is used to connect the receiver with the GPS antenna. The design of the antenna connection has to be done strictly according to RF design rules. A 50Ω...
  • Page 33: Active Antenna

    9.3 Passive Antenna NOTE: Different passive antenna set-ups have been tested with positive results on the performance of the A1029 modules. Anyhow, it is the responsibility of the sys- tem integrator to qualify the final configuration. Please consider that it is crucial to keep the connection from the antenna to the ANT pin as short as possible.
  • Page 34: Quality And Reliability

    Prior to product qualification the GPS receiver is preconditioned according to EIA/JEDEC standard JESD22-A113-B / Level 3. Basic qualification tests: • Reflow simulation on test PCB (A1029-A only) • Temperature Cycling –40°C … +85°C • Temperature Humidity Bias 85°C / 85% RH •...

    GPS satellites. While the current date and time is transmitted in NMEA sentences, an exact and accurate timing signal is provided via the 1PPS pin of the A1029 modules. The 1PPS signal is valid only, whenever the GPS modules provide a valid position fix.
  • Page 37: Reset Signal

    11.8 Reset Signal The nRST pin is an input pin. The nRST pin can be used to generate a reset on the A1029 modules. Resetting the module will result in a restart of the complete firmware including the boot loader.
  • Page 38: Application Firmware

    GPS Receivers A1029 12 Application Firmware Tyco Electronics provides standard GPS firmware that covers the basic functions of a GPS module (e.g. NMEA sentences) and Dead Reckoning firmware that includes Dead Reckoning functionality. Please refer to the GPS Receiver Firmware manuals.
  • Page 39: Demonstration Kits

    For demonstration and easy evaluation of GPS performance Tyco Electronics offers a Demonstration Kit (including one GPS A1029-A module). It contains a USB inter- face with according drivers to connect easily to a PC. The USB interface is an ex- tension of the serial port 0, therefore sending NMEA sentences and accepting commands.
