Table 44: Components for connecting LENA-R8 series modules to u-blox 1.8 V GNSS receivers using V_INT as supply
For additional guidelines regarding the design of applications with u-blox 1.8 V GNSS receivers, see
the Integration Manual of the selected u-blox GNSS receiver. It is recommended to consider and
implement all the possible measures for proper RF coexistence of the Cellular and the GNSS systems.
Connection with u-blox 3.0 V GNSS receivers (LENA-R8001 modules only)
shows an application circuit for connecting the module to a u-blox 3.0 V GNSS receiver:
•
The 1.8 V pins
SDA
and
SCL
of the cellular module are connected to the related pins of the u-blox
3.0 V GNSS receiver using a proper I2C-bus Bidirectional Voltage Translator (as the TI TCA9406),
with pull-up resistors where appropriate.
•
The
GPIO2
is connected to the active-high enable pin of the voltage regulator that supplies the
u-blox 3.0
V GNSS receiver providing the “GNSS supply enable” function. A pull
-down resistor is
provided to avoid a switch-on of the positioning receiver when the cellular module is switched off.
•
The 1.8 V pin
GPIO3
of the cellular module is connected to the related pin of the u-blox 3.0 V GNSS
receiver
implementing the “GNSS Tx data ready” function
using a proper Unidirectional Voltage
Translator (as the TI SN74AVC2T245).
