GPS receiver for any application
Fastrax IT430, based on new generation SiRFstar IV architecture and SiRFaware technology, offers a range of new benefits that speed the inclusion of location-aware features in battery operated consumer devices. The complete Fastrax IT430 GPS module is packed into a tiny casing for easy fitting into various handheld or other battery powered devices. Fastrax IT430 features a miniature form factor of only 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.85 mm, which makes it one of the smallest complete GPS modules available on the market. With the included TCXO, RTC and SAW filter, the amount of required external components is reduced to a minimum.
Battery life is critical
Fastrax IT430 is especially well suitable for battery operated devices using 1.8 V internal power regulation. The low-power GPS module consumes only 56 mW at 1.8 V in full operation mode. With SiRFAware it consumes only 500uA in average. The small size and low power consumption combined with ultra-high sensitivity, allows easy utilization in a variety of applications, including the smallest battery-operated consumer devices.
With its new innovative standby mode, Fastrax IT430 activates itself autonomously from time to time in order to maintain awareness of its location at all times. As a result, updated location information is available almost immediately when activated, without compromising battery life.
