GPS-MS1E

OEM GPS Module

SiRFstar™ I/LX Positioning Engine

Overview

The GPS-MS1E module is a self-contained receiver based on the SiRFstar™ I GPS technology. The complete signal processing chain from antenna input to serial data output is contained within one single component measuring just 30 x 30 x 7.7 mm. It is well suited for applications with limited amount of available space.

The GPS-MS1E provides four serial ports which can handle NMEA or SiRF^® proprietary data format or accept differential GPS data (RTCM). The data logging option provides data recorder functions which can store 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 TricklePower™ mode allows a considerable reduction of power consumption for applications where power consumption is of primary concern.
