Overview

The A2200-A is a compact GPS receiver module based on the SiRFstarIV chipset, designed for rapid signal acquisition and high sensitivity in challenging environments. It operates at 1.575GHz with a tracking sensitivity of -163dBm, making it suitable for deep urban canyons and indoor positioning. The module integrates essential RF components into a 10.2mm x 14.0mm surface-mount package to simplify hardware design.

Why Choose This Part

The module features SiRFInstantFix technology for improved Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF) and supports SiRFaware for constant hot-start readiness. It offers flexible host communication through UART, SPI, and I2C, while maintaining a low receiving current of 69mA during active searching.

Applications

Battery-Powered Tracking
Utilizes low-power modes like SiRFaware to maintain hot-start capability with a standby current of only 25uA.
Urban Navigation
High-sensitivity tracking and jamming detection ensure reliable positioning in areas with significant signal multipath or interference.
Industrial IoT Gateways
Adds precise time-stamping and location data to remote monitoring equipment via UART, SPI, or I2C interfaces.
Portable Consumer Devices
The small footprint and direct passive antenna support allow for integration into handheld gadgets and wearable accessories.
