MC-1513
Datasheet of MC-1513 GPS module
1.4
Introduction
Locosys GPS MC-1513 module features high sensitivity, low power and ultra small form factor. This
GPS module is powered by MediaTek, it can provide you with superior sensitivity and performance even in
urban canyon and dense foliage environment. The miniature size makes the module easy and the best choice
to integrate into portable device like mobile phone, PDAs, camera and vehicle locators.
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.

5.3 Examples to configure the power mode of GPS module
The GPS module supports different power modes that user can configure by issuing
software commands.
5.3.1 Standby mode
User can issue software command to make GPS module go into standby mode that
consumes less than 200uA current. 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.

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.

include time interval, distance, speed, logging mode, and … etc. For more information, please
contact us.
5.5 Examples to configure the update rate of GPS module
The GPS module supports up to 10Hz update rate that user can configure by issuing
software commands. 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>

$PMTK251,57600*2C<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.

After the GPS module is changed to higher baud rate or reduced NMEA sentence, the user
can configure it to high update rate of position fix by the following commands.
Interval of position fix
Software command
(1)
Every 100ms (10Hz)

$PMTK220,2000*1C<CR><LF>
If the command is correct and executed, GPS module will
output message $PMTK001,220,3*30<CR><LF>
Note 1: The minimum interval of position fix is 100ms, i.e. the maximum update rate is 10Hz.
Note 2: The current consumption is the same with the update rate of 1Hz.

Note 1. Measured when position fix (1Hz) is available, input voltage is 3.3V and the function of self-generated
ephemeris prediction is inactive. For different input voltage, the current consumption is as below chart. This is
because MC-1513 is built-in DC/DC converter.
