DS-SKG16A-V1.0-100410 1 www.skylab.com.cn SkyNav SKG16A Ultra High Sensitivity and Low Power GPS Receiver Module Simplify your systems General Description The SkyNav SKG16A is a complete GPS engine module that features super sensitivity, ultra low power and small form factor. The GPS signal is applied to the antenna input of module, and a complete serial data message with position, velocity and time information is presented at the serial interface with NMEA protocol or custom protocol. It is based on the high performance features of the MediaTek 3329 single-chip architecture, Its –165dBm tracking sensitivity extends positioning coverage into place like urban canyons and dense foliage environment where the GPS was not possible before. The small form factor and low power consumption make the module easy to integrate into portable device like PNDs, mobile phones, cameras and vehicle navigation systems. Figure 1: SKG16A Top View Features Ultra high sensitivity: -165dBm Extremely fast TTFF (Time To First Fix) at low signal level Low power consumption: Typical [email protected] NMEA-0183 compliant protocol or custom protocol Operating voltage: 3.0V to 4.2V Operating temperature range: -40 to 85℃ SMD type with stamp holes Small form factor: 13.1x15.9x2.7mm RoHS compliant (Lead-free) Applications LBS (Location Based Service) PND (Portable Navigation Device) Vehicle navigation system Mobile phone GPIO0 GND NC TOP VIEW 6 15 GND GND RESET GND NC GND GND GND VIN 36 1 GND 33 ANT GND GND GND VBAT TXD1 GND GND GND GND GND PPS GND 24 TXD0 RXD0 RXD1 GND GND GND GND WAKE GND NC Pin Assignment Figure 2: SKG16A Pin Package DS-SKG16A-V1.0-080410 1 www.skylab.com.cn SkyNav SKG16A Datasheets Performance Specification Parameter Specification Receiver Type L1 frequency band, Sensitivity Tracking Acquisition -165dBm -148dBm Accuracy Position Velocity Timing (PPS) 3.0m CEP50 without SA(Typical Open Sky) 0.1m/s without SA 60ns RMS Acquisition Time Cold Start Warm Start Hot Start Re-Acquisition 36s(Typical Open Sky) 33s 1s <1s Power Consumption Tracking Acquisition 35mA @3.3V Typical 45mA @3.3V Navigation Data Update Rate 1Hz Operational Limits Altitude Velocity Acceleration C/A code, 22 Tracking / 66 Acquisition-Channel Max 18,000m Max 515m/s Less than 4g Interfaces Configuration Power Supply: Regulated power for the SKG16A is required. The input voltage Vcc should be 3.0V to 3.6V range, current is no less than 100mA. Suitable decoupling must be provided by external decoupling circuitry(10uF and 1uF). It can reduce the Noise from power supply and increase power stability. Antenna: The SKG16A GPS receiver is designed for supporting the active antenna or passive antenna connected with pin RF_IN. The gain of active antenna should be no more than 25dB. The maximum noise figure should be no more than 1.5dB and output impedance is at 50 Ohm. UART Ports: The module supports two full duplex serial channels UART. All serial connections are at 2.85V LVTTL logic levels, if need different voltage levels, use appropriate level shifters. the data format is however fixed: X, N, 8, 1, i.e. X baud rate, no parity, eight data bits and one stop bit, no other data formats are supported, LSB is sent first. The modules default baud rate is set up 4800bps and default serial UART0. The RXD0 & TXD0 recommended to pull up (10KΩ). It can increase the stability of serial data. Backup Battery Power: In case of a power failure on pin VCC, real-time clock and backup RAM are supplied through pin V_BCKP. This enables the SKG16A GPS Receiver to recover from power failure with either a hot start or a warm start (depending on the duration of Vcc outage). If no Backup Battery is connected, the receiver performs a cold start upon powered up. If you use backup battery, should be adding a bypassing capacitor (1uF) at V_BCKP pin. It can reduce noise and increase the stability. RF_IN: The transmission line must to be control impedance from RF_IN pin to the antenna or antenna connector of your choice.
