  • Page 9 GPIO11), the drive impedance should be less than 10kohm in order to change the state. (2): HPM103H-6 module contains internal 100k pull up resistor to VCC. VIH min = 0.7 x VCC, VIL max = 0.3 x VCC. The base-band processor uN8031 includes also a keeper and the drive impedance should be less than 10kohm in order to change the state.

    CONFIDENTIAL 2005-06-08 3.2 Reset NOTE HPM103H-6 requires an external Power-On-Reset (POR) circuit which provides a reset pulse at XRESET-pin after the supply voltages are connected. The reset pulse should be active (low state) at least 100ms after power-up. 3.3 UART interface Two asynchronous UART ports are available for serial interfacing.

    Boot Mode Boot from flash The HPM103H-6 is configured for booting from Flash memory as a default. This is achieved with the internal pull-up resistors R12 and R13 at GPIO14&15. Other boot modes can be selected with external drive at the system connector (i.e. in Evaluation Kit, or by external host) at GPIO14&15.

    CONFIDENTIAL 2005-06-08 3.5 RF-interface An external GPS antenna (active or passive) can be connected to the HPM103H-6 using the RF-input line. A 50 ohm PCB stripline is needed on the motherboard, see figure below for example layout. Figure 8 Example of RF interface layout on customer PCB The width of the 50ohm stripline is dependent of the PCB material and thickness.
  • Page 13: Interfacing Considerations

    Use a solid GND plane under the HPM103H-6 module to reduce LO-leakage at 1575 MHz, especially when the GPS antenna is close (<0.2 m) to the module. AGC range is 32 dB, which means that for HPM103H-6 module the external gain at 1575 MHz should not exceed 32 dB HPM103H-6...
  • Page 14 Blocking level is about –2 dBm at the RF input @ S/N degradation 3 dB. The receiver has a zero-IF topology. If two receivers are connected to the same antenna, local oscillator leakage cause blocking. power combiner/splitter that gives at least 20 dB isolation between ports. HPM103H-6...

    Rest of the I/O is also available for customer applications. 4.2 Antenna issues The HPM103H-6 GPS receiver can be used with a passive antenna. One typical application is shown below where the GPS antenna and the receiver are adjacent on the same side of the PCB.
  • Page 16 Note also that the enclosure material (e.g. plastic cover) also affect the resonance frequency in such a way that plastic material close to the antenna element move the resonance frequency downwards. This must be taken also into consideration when specifying the antenna resonance frequency. HPM103H-6...
