Features: SiRF StarIV ultra low power chipset ? Compact module size for easy integration : 15 x 14 x 2.8 mm ? UART/ I2C pins reserved for customizing special user applications ? Fully utilized SS4 upgrade features Introduction The LR9131R GPS module is a high sensitivity, low power, Surface Mount Device (SMD) that fully utilized SiRFstarIV upgrade features. This 48-channel global positioning system (GPS) receiver is designed for a wide range of OEM applications and is based on the GPS ** search capabilities of the SiRFstarIV GSD4e ROM chipset, SiRF’s newest chipset technology. The LR9131R provides flexible bus interfaces (Optional: UART , I2C or SPI reserved for customizing special user applications). The LR9131R is designed to allow quick and easy integration into GPS-related applications such as: ?Mobile gaming ? ?Cellular handsets ? ?Cameras ? ?Asset tracking ? ?Other location-aware consumer devices Premium on-chip software provides a new level of continuous location awareness by employing. ?Opportunistic ephemeris decode and advanced power management, which enable the GPS receiver to stay in a hot-start condition nearly continuously while consuming very little power ?Full support for client-based and server-based SiRFInstantFix? Dynamic contextual awareness, temperature monitoring, and MEMS sensors that work in concert to conserve power and boost performance ? ?Use of software control modules to achieve power saving state Features Performance ?Highest performance Solution : ? ?Highest performance navigation engine (PVT) tracks as low as -163dBm? ?48 track verification channels? ?SBAS (WAAS or EGNOS? ?Active Jammer Remover? ?Removes in-band jammers up to 80 dB-Hz? ?Tracks up to 8 CW jammers? ?Multimode A-GPS (Autonomous, MS-Based, and MS-Assisted) – Need operator support ?SiRFGeoRecovTM Reverse EE makes positioning process being done under power saving mode. ? ?Reacquisition Time: 0.1 second? ?RF Metal Shield for best performance in noisy environments Hardware Software ?Based on the high performance features of the SiRF Star IV low power single chipset. ?Adaptive Micropower Controller ? ?Only 50 to 500μA maintains hot start capability ? ?<10mW required for TricklePower? modeRoHS compliant (lead-free) ? ?SMT pads allow for fully automatic assembly processes equipment and reflow soldering ? ?Advanced Navigation Features ? ?Smart sensor I2C interface ? ?Interrupt input for context change detection Advantages ?Built-in LNA. ?Built-in internal ROM and based on Firmware 4.1.X ?It can remove in-band jammer up to 80db-Hz and track up to 8CW jammers, so the module can prevent GPS ** interference when design-in the electrical device with noisy electrical ** interferences such as Laptop, mobile phone, DSC, etc. ? ?Maintain tracking sensitivity as low as -163dBm, even without network assistance. ?(SiRF StarIII has only -159dBm sensitivity) ? ?Support SiRFaware technology : ? ?Support adaptive “Micro Power Controller” power management mode. ? ?Only 8mW Trickle Power, so user can leave power on all day instead of power off ? ?Suitable for battery drive devices that need lower power consumption application ? ?Ideal for high volume mass production(Taping reel package) ? ?Cost saving through elimination of RF and board to board digital connectors ?Flexible and cost effective hardware design for different application needs
