TIM-LA

OEM GPS Module

ANTARIS® Positioning Engine

 TIM-LA GPS Module For new designs, we recommend
the TIM-4A or TIM-4S instead.

Overview

The TIM-LA is an ultra-low power OEM GPS module with built-in low noise amplifier suitable for passive and active antennas. It provides two 3V (5V TTL input compatible) serial ports and easy-to-use boot time configuration pins. The combination of low power consumption, cost-optimized architecture (no Flash EPROM inside) and applicability for passive antennas makes the TIM-LA suitable for high-volume applications where small size, low cost and simplicity are key issues.

The leading ANTARIS® GPS Engine provides excellent navigation performance under dynamic conditions in areas with limited sky view like urban canyons, high sensitivity for weak signal operation without compromising accuracy, and support of DGPS and multiple SBAS systems like WAAS and EGNOS. The 16 parallel channels and 8192 search bins provide fast start-up times. The aiding functionality accelerates start-up times even further. The low power consumption and FixNow™ power saving mode make this product suitable for handheld and battery-operated devices.
