TIM GPS Receiver Macro Component SiRFstarTM II Positioning Engine TIM is a fully self-contained low-cost GPS receiver based on the SiRFstarTM II GPS technology. With its innovative packaging technology the TIM GPS receiver is the ideal solution for high volume application with stringent, minimal space requirements. The integrated data logger allows storing GPS data on the receiver. Benefits * Fully self-contained GPS receiver (PVT output) * Low power consumption * Excellent GPS performance * Fast time-to-first-fix * Macro component * Very compact design * Automatic pick and place assembly * Reflow solderable * Supports Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) * Integrated data logging * Fully EMI shielded * Passive and active antenna support * Immune to RF interference Features * 12 channel GPS receiver Overview The TIM GPS receiver macro component is another milestone in the miniaturization of GPS receiver modules. Innovative packaging technology has opened the door for a thin and compact GPS receiver unique to the market. The TIM macro component is SMT solderable and can be handled by standard pickand-place equipment. This allows a fully automatic assembly process. The height of 3mm (~120mil) and the size of 25.4 x 25.4 mm (1" x 1") make it the ideal GPS solution for applications with stringent space requirements. TIM provides two serial ports, which can handle NMEA or SiRF(R) proprietary data format or accept differential GPS data (RTCM). The integrated data logging function stores up to 100'000 logs on the internal FLASH memory. Operating at a nominal operating voltage of 3.3 Volts, the module consumes less than 0.5 Watts in continuous operation mode. The implementation of the TricklePowerTM mode allows a considerable reduction of power consumption for applications where power consumption is of primary concern. * 1 Hz position update rate * SiRFstarTM II architecture * GRF2i RF front-end IC * GSP2e GPS DSP with integrated Real Time Clock * 8 MBit FLASH memory * Low noise amplifier * Power management features * TricklePowerTM mode * Push-to-FixTM mode * Operating voltage 2.75 ... 3.45 V * Battery voltage supply pin for internal backup memory and real time clock * Industrial operating temperature range -40...85C * Small size * Size * Height * Weight 25.4mm x 25.4mm 3mm 3g Support Products TIM Evaluation Kit Use the TIM Evaluation Kit to experience the power of TIM. your position is our focus u-blox AG Zuercherstrasse 68 8800 Thalwil Switzerland www.u-blox.com Specifications Environmental Data Receiver Performance Data Phone +41 1722 7444 Fax +41 1722 7447 info@u-blox.com Receiver Type 12 channel, L1 frequency, C/A code Operating Temperature -40C to 85C Max.
