GPS-RECEIVER JP7-T
VERSION 1.02
can use port B (second serial port) to feed in DGPS correction
data. Pull-up (100 k
Ω
) unused SDI inputs.
-
Active Antenna Bias Voltage:
The output voltage at the antenna cable
can be used to power the bias voltage of the antenna, provided
can make sure that the antenna runs down to 2.7 V bias voltage
and the current does not exceed 20 mA.
-
Backup Battery:
In order to allow the GPS receiver to perform
internally the warm and hot start it is advisable to connect the
V_BAT
pin to an external backup battery
.
For more
information on cold, warm, and hot-start scenarios, please refer
to the
Section 6.3 “ Start-Up”
. In case of a power interruption
on pin
VCC
the real-time clock and backed-up SRAM are
continually supplied through
V_BAT
.
The voltage at this pin
has to be +3 V DC ±5%. If you do not use a backup battery,
connect this pin to GND or leave it open. Do not use a super
cap for the battery backup supply (recommended by SiRF).
The quickest way to get first results with the JP7-T is to use the JP7-T
Evaluation board together with the program SiRFdemo.
