The product is based on the proven technology found in LOCOSYS 66 channel GPS SMD type receivers MC-1513 that use MediaTek chip solution. The GPS smart antenna will acquire up to 66 satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, one-second navigation update and low power consumption. It can provide you with superior sensitivity and performance even in urban canyon and dense foliage environment. Its far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of car navigation as well as other location-based applications. This module supports hybrid ephemeris prediction to achieve faster cold start. One is self-generated ephemeris prediction that is no need of both network assistance and host CPU’s intervention. This is valid for up to 3 days and updates automatically from time to time when GPS module is powered on and satellites are available. The other is server-generated ephemeris prediction that gets from an internet server. This is valid for up to 14 days. Both ephemeris predictions are stored in the on-board flash memory and perform a cold start time less than 15 seconds. Page 1/20 © 2006 LOCOSYS Technology Inc.

GPS module will be awaked when receiving any byte. The following flow chart is an example to make GPS module go into standby mode and then wake up. Page 8/20 © 2006 LOCOSYS Technology Inc.

Set GPS to normal operation mode? Yes GPS is in standby now Yes Issue any byte to GPS and wait it awake No No Issue command of normal operation mode unsigned char NormalMode[] = {"$PMTK225,0*2B\x0D\x0A"}; GPS module will return message "$PMTK001,225,3*35\x0D\x0A" if command is accepted. End GPS is in periodic mode End GPS is in normal mode 5.3.3 AlwaysLocateTM mode AlwaysLocateTM is an intelligent controller of periodic mode. Depending on the environment and motion conditions, GPS module can adaptively adjust working/standby time to achieve balance of positioning accuracy and power consumption. In this mode, the host CPU does not need to control GPS module until the host CPU needs the GPS position data. The following flow chart is an example to make GPS module go into AlwaysLocateTm mode and then back to normal operation mode. Note: AlwaysLocateTM is a trade mark of MTK.

Note that the configurations by software commands are stored in the battery-backed SRAM that is powered through VBACKUP pin. Once it drains out, the default/factory settings will be applied. Due to the transmitting capacity per second of the current baud rate, GPS module has to be changed to higher baud rate for high update rate of position fix. The user can use the following software commands to change baud rate. Baud rate Software command Factory default $PMTK251,0*28<CR><LF> 4800 $PMTK251,4800*14<CR><LF> 9600 $PMTK251,9600*17<CR><LF> 19200 $PMTK251,19200*22<CR><LF> 38400 $PMTK251,38400*27<CR><LF> 57600 $PMTK251,57600*2C<CR><LF> 115200 $PMTK251,115200*1F<CR><LF> Note: <CR> means Carriage Return, i.e. 0x0D in hexadecimal. <LF> means Line Feed, i.e. 0x0A in hexadecimal. If the user does not want to change baud rate, you can reduce the output NMEA sentences by the following software commands. NMEA sentence Software command Factory default $PMTK314,-1*04<CR><LF> Only GLL at 1Hz $PMTK314,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29<CR><LF> Only RMC at 1Hz $PMTK314,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29<CR><LF> Only VTG at 1Hz $PMTK314,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29<CR><LF> Only GGA at 1Hz $PMTK314,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29<CR><LF> Only GSA at 1Hz $PMTK314,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29<CR><LF> Only GSV at 1Hz $PMTK314,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*29<CR><LF> Only ZDA at 1Hz $PMTK314,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0*29<CR><LF> RMC, GGA, GSA at 1Hz and GSV at $PMTK314,0,1,0,1,1,5,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0*2C<CR><LF> 0.2Hz If the command is correct and executed, GPS module will output message $PMTK001,314,3*36<CR><LF> Page 12/20 © 2006 LOCOSYS Technology Inc.

Note 2: The current consumption is the same with the update rate of 1Hz. 6 LED indicator The red LED is an indicator of GPS positioning status. In continuous power mode, it flashes once per second when position is fixed. Otherwise it is off. The timing in detail is as below.
