A2200-A
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
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Integrate the module into your PCB design using the 48-pin SMT footprint and provide a stable 3.3V supply. Developers can interface with the module using NMEA or OSP protocols over the UART pins for initial configuration. Evaluation kits from Lantronix are recommended for testing antenna placement and verifying signal sensitivity before final layout.
