GPS-41SMD
Fast-Acquisition Enhanced-Sensitivity
12-Channel SMD GPS Receiver Module
The GPS-41SMD is a miniature 12-channel OEM GPS
receiver module. It is optimized for high-performance,
FEATURES
ease-of-use, flexibility, and low-cost. The GPS receiver is
12 parallel channel GPS receiver
suitable for a wide range of navigation and tracking
4000+ correlators
applications.
SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS) support
Supports active and passive antenna
High Sensitivity:
-137dBm acquisition sensitivity
-147dBm tracking sensitivity
Fast Acquisition:
< 5 second hot start
satellite signal acquisition and short start-up time. Acquisition
sensitivity of –137dBm and tracking sensitivity of –147dBm
offers good performance even under difficult environments.
The GPS-41SMD provides one 3.3V UART serial I/O and one
< 50 second cold start
GPIO pins. Self-contained LNA supports direct connection to
5m CEP accuracy
Low Power Consumption, < 100mW
Small Size, 22.4 x 17.0 x 3.3 mm
12 parallel channels and 4000+ correlators provide fast
passive or active antenna.
Sub-100mW power consumption makes the GPS-41SMD
ideal for battery-operated portable devices.
Satellite-based augmentation systems, such as WAAS and
EGNOS, are supported to yield improved accuracy.
Small size and SMD mounting allow standard SMT assembly
process, making it ideal for high volume production.

1PPS Output
The GPS receiver is in navigation mode upon power-up, with 1PPS output free running. After 3 minutes of valid
position fix and remaining under static-mode, the receiver changes to timing-mode, with 1PPS output signal
synchronized to the UTC second. The receiver will change to navigation-mode, with 1PPS output free running,
if the receiver is in motion. The 1PPS output will become synchronized to the UTC second again after the
receiver had remained in static mode for 3 minutes.
