GPS Receiver Boards

SiRFstar™ II Positioning Engine

Overview

The TIM-CL, TIM-CS and TIM-CJ are fully self-contained OEM GPS receiver boards powered by TIM which are based on the SiRFstar™ II GPS technology. These boards are available in different form factors, comparable to those of popular GPS receivers in the market. The integrated data logger allows storing GPS data on the receiver.

These GPS receiver boards provide complete GPS signal processing from antenna input to serial data output (NMEA or binary format). Advanced power-saving modes allow an additional reduction of power consumption for applications where power consumption is of primary concern. The receiver boards featuring the GRF2i RF front-end chip and an integrated Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) connect seamlessly to low-cost passive antennas as well as active antennas. They provide 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.
