GPS-PS2

GPS Receiver Board

SiRFstar™ II Positioning Engine

GPS-PS2 GPS-PS2-S

Overview

The GPS-PS2 receiver is a fully self-contained and shielded GPS receiver board for the Global Positioning System (GPS) based on the SiRFstar™ II technology. The GPS-PS2 receiver board supports a very broad range of GPS enabled products. In automotive applications, the GPS-PS2 supports advanced tracking capabilities through fast recovery times combined with reliable operation in urban canyons and areas of dense foliage.

The GPS-PS2 provides complete GPS signal processing from antenna input to serial data output (NMEA or binary format). It is compatible to the GPS-PS1E. The GPS-PS2 operates at a nominal voltage of 5 Volts. Advanced power-saving modes allow an additional reduction of power consumption for applications where power consumption is of primary concern. The GPS-PS2 featuring the GRF2i RF front-end chip and an integrated Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) connects seamlessly to low-cost passive antennas as well as active antennas. The GPS-PS2 provides two serial ports which can handle NMEA or SiRF® 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.
