TIM-LC GPS Receiver Module (R) ANTARIS Positioning Engine The TIM-LC is an ultra-low power OEM GPS module suitable for active antennas to run standard PVT applications. It provides two 3V (5V TTL input compatible) serial ports and easyto-use boot time configuration pins. The combination of lowest power consumption, costoptimized architecture (no Flash EPROM inside) and innovative packaging technology makes the TIM-LC suitable for high-volume applications where small size, low cost and simplicity are key issues. Benefits * Highacquisitionandtrackingsensitivity * Ultra-lowpowerconsumption * ExcellentGPSperformance * Excellentnavigationaccuracy, evenatlowsignallevels * Activemultipathdetectionandremoval * FastTime-To-First-Fix(TTFF) * AcceleratedTTFFwithaidingfunctionality * NoFlashEPROMinside * Independencefrommemorymarket andpricefluctuations * HighlyintegratedGPSmodule * Automaticpick-and-placeassembly * Reflowsolderable * Maximumflexibility * Extensivelyconfigurable * Boot-timeconfigurationpins * FullyEMIshielded * Activeantennasupport Overview The leading ANTARIS(R) GPS Engine, jointly developed by Atmel and u-blox, provides excellent navigation performance under dynamic conditions in areas with limitedskyviewlikeurbancanyons,highsensitivityfor weak signal operation without compromising accuracy, and support of DGPS and multiple SBAS systems like WAAS and EGNOS. The 16 parallel channels and 8192 search bins provide fast start-up times. The aiding functionality accelerates start-up timesevenfurther.Thelowpowerconsumptionand FixNOWTM power saving mode make this product suitableforhandheldandbattery-operateddevices. Small Form Factor Innovative packaging technologies enable high integrationofaGPSreceiverinamodulecomponent measuring just 25.4x25.4mm and allowing straightforward integration in particularly small end products and opportunities in new application fields. ThesmallformfactorandtheSMTpadsallowafully automatic assembly process with standard pick-andplace equipment and reflow soldering, enabling costefficienthigh-volumeproduction.
