1)
All I/Os on the Data Interface are related to VCC (3 to 3.6 Volts) and GND levels.
2)
ON/OFF:
control the GPS engine “ON” or “OFF”. If this pin is pulled “HIGH” whenever a reset
condition occurs or if it is turned “HIGH” during operating, the GPS engine is turned “ON”. If this pin is
pulled “LOW” whenever a reset condition occurs, the GPS engine is not started. If this pin is turned
“LOW” when in operating, the GPS engine is turned “OFF”. When ON/OFF is “LOW”, the on/off state can
be superseded with the
PXEMaRT
manufacturer specific NMEA sentence on RXA, as defined below.
3)
RXA and TXA
: The Serial NMEA data port (RXA and TXA) is an asynchronous serial port (UART).
4)
USPED
:
USPED “HIGH”
:
9600
Baud rate, 8 bit data, no parity check, 1 stop bit and no flow control.
USPED “LOW”
:
4800
Baud rate, 8 bit data, no parity check, 1 stop bit and no flow control .
This setting can be modified with the
PXEMaPT
manufacturer specific NMEA sentence defined later.
5)
PPS:
This is Pulse Per Second highly accurate timing signal generated by the on-board GPS base
band processor at 83ms duration. After a reset condition, the default setting for this port is inactive. This
setting can be modified with the
PXEMaPS
manufacturer specific NMEA sentence defined below.
6)
RESETN
: The receiver has 2 reset conditions: first, on power-on, thanks to an on-board Power On Reset
circuitry; and second an external reset when the
RESETN
pin is “LOW”.
7)
VCC
: Main power supply.
8)
VRTCBK
: This is the back-up supply for the on-board real time clock.
9)
ALMRDY
: When in active mode, this indicates the on-board almanac status. Upon start up and
whenever the almanac data are tested invalid or not up-to-date, the output level is “low”. If tested valid or
up-to-date, the output level is “high”
10)
STANDBYIN
: This input sets the receiver in stand-by mode when its level is “low”. Otherwise, the
receiver is either in active or power save mode. See below under operating modes for details.
