PA1616D

Patch antenna module Application Note

• 33 tracking/ 99 acquisition-channel GPS / GLONASS / GALILEO receiver

• Interfaces: UART, I2C

• Built-in 15x15x4.0mm ceramic patch antenna on the top of module

• Ultra-High Sensitivity: -165dBm (w/o patch antenna), up to 45dB C/N of SVs in open sky reception.

• AlwaysLocate: Intelligent Algorithm (Advance Power Periodic Mode) for power saving

• EASY: Self-Generated Orbit Prediction for instant positioning fix

• GPS Consumption current(@3.3V):

• Acquisition: 34mA Typical

• Tracking: 29mA Typical

• High accuracy 1-PPS timing support for Timing Applications (±20ns jitter)

• High Update Rate: up to 10Hz^(note1)

• Logger function Embedded^(note2)

• Supports QZSS, SBAS(WAAS, EGNOS, GAGAN, MSAS) ranging

• Ultra-High Sensitivity: -165dBm

• Automatic antenna switching function

• Dimension : 16 x 16 x 6.7 mm, QFN

Note 1: SBAS can only be enabled when update rate is less than or equal to 5Hz.

Note 2: Some features need special firmware or command programmed by customer.

Note 3: This module is completely pin-to-pin with Gtop's Gms-g6 module, and the PA1616D(V.0G) can completely replace GTop's Gms-g6 module.
