Overview
SAM is a high-performance GPS receiver with integrated ceramic patch antenna embedded in a compact package. SAM allows the integration of GPS technology into a broad spectrum of mobile products with minimal design effort and time. In particular, the SAM is best suited for portable devices and ready-to-use smart antenna products (GPS-mice, accessories for organizers, etc.).
Based on the u-blox TIM GPS receiver module the SAM smart antenna module provides excellent GPS performance within very small profile.
SAM provides two serial ports, which can handle NMEA or SiRF® proprietary data format or accept differential GPS data (RTCM). The integrated datalogging function stores up to 100'000 logs on the internal FLASH memory.
Operating at a nominal operating voltage of 3.3 Volts, the SAM consumes less than 0.5 Watts in continuous operation mode. Advanced power-saving modes allow an additional reduction of power consumption for applications where power consumption is of primary concern.
