Micro Modular Technologies Unveils MN5515HS GPS Receiver Module, Low Power and Fully Integrated GPS Receiver Module with Increased Signal Sensitivity

The MN5515HS GPS Receiver Module is a complete 20-channel receiver with improved cold-start acquisition sensitivity of -145dBm. Cold-start acquisition sensitivity specifies the lowest signal level at which the receiver can get a valid position fix, versus tracking sensitivity, which only means the receiver can track the satellites, but cannot determine a position fix. It measures only 15 x 15 x 2.9 mm, and features fast-acquisition hardware, integrated RF filtering, TCXO, reset circuit, and a real-time clock with on-board crystal. The user needs only provide DC power and a GPS signal; the MN5515HS will output the navigation solution in the widely-used NMEA 0183 protocol or in SiRF binary protocol. The 20-channel receiver allows all satellites in view to be tracked, providing an over-determined solution to minimize position jumps caused by individual satellite blockage. The fast-acquisition hardware design greatly reduces the time for signal acquisition when the receiver is initially powered up. The MN5515HS operates from a single battery supply between 3.0 and 3.6 VDC. For even further power reductions, the OEM design may use a power-saving mode via binary commands…
