2. General Rules for Design

 

In order to obtain good GPS performances, there are some rules which require 

GPS module. 

 

2.1 Circuit Design 
 

Compatible Model:

 

Gmm-r1, 

2.1.1 Power supply VCC 

It  is  necessary  to  provide  a  clean  and  stable  power  supply  for  our  GPS  module  in  order  to  obtain 

good  performances.  Unstable  power  source  will  have  a  significant  negative  impact  on  the  GPS 

performance. To achieve this, the Vcc ripple must be controlled under 50

also some important suggestions for main power circuit design:

(1). Add ferrite bead, power choke or low pass filter for power noise reduction

 

(2). linear regulator is better than

 

(3). Use enough decoupling capacitors
