Description
The F4 Series GPS receiver module is a
self-contained high-performance GPS
receiver. Based on the SiRFstar IV chipset,
it provides exceptional sensitivity, even
in dense foliage and urban canyons. The
module’s very low power consumption
helps maximize runtimes in battery powered
applications. The F4 Series receiver can
acquire and track up to 48 satellites
simultaneously in just seconds, even at the
lowest signal levels. Housed in a compact
reflow-compatible SMD package, the receiver requires no programming or
additional RF components (except an antenna) to form a complete GPS
solution. Five GPIOs are easily configured through simple serial commands.
These features along with the module’s standard NMEA data output make
the F4 Series easy to integrate, even by engineers without previous RF or
GPS experience.
