Electrical Overstress (EOS)
Electrical Overstress (EOS) usually describes situations when the maximum input power exceeds the maximum
specified ratings. EOS failure can happen if RF emitters are close to a GPS receiver or its antenna. EOS causes
damage to the chip structures.
If the RF_IN is damaged by EOS, it’s hard to determine whether the chip structures have been damaged by ESD
or EOS.
3.3.6
EOS protection measures
EOS protection measures as shown in Figure 34 are recommended for any designs combining wireless
communication transceivers (e.g. GSM, GPRS) and GPS in the same design or in close proximity.
Small passive antennas
(<2 dBic and performance
critical)
Passive antennas
(>2 dBic or
performance sufficient)
Active Antennas
(without internal filter
which need the module antenna supervisor
circuits)

3.3.7
Electromagnetic interference (EMI)
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is the addition or coupling of energy released from any RF emitting device.
This can cause a spontaneous reset of the GPS receiver or result in unstable performance. Any unshielded line or
segment (>3mm) connected to the GPS receiver can effectively act as antenna and lead to EMI disturbances or
damage.
The following elements are critical regarding EMI:
•
Unshielded connectors (e.g. pin rows etc.)
•
Weakly shielded lines on PCB (e.g. on top or bottom layer and especially at the border of a PCB)
•
Weak GND concept (e.g. small and/or long ground line connections)
EMI protection measures are recommended when RF emitting devices are near the GPS receiver. To minimize the
effect of EMI a robust grounding concept is essential. To achieve electromagnetic robustness follow the standard
EMI suppression techniques.

Improved EMI protection can be achieved by inserting a resistor or better yet a ferrite bead (BLM15HD102SN1)
into any unshielded PCB lines connected to the GPS receiver. Place the resistor as close as possible to the GPS
receiver pin.
