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 standby mode it consumes only 500uA in average while enabling TTFF of 1 sec. Other useful power saving modes are Trickle Power, Advanced Power Management and Push-to-Fix modes that can reduce power drain further, even below 10mW.
Fast TTFF with embedded Self-Assistance
Fast Time To First Fix is crucial in most applications. This can be shortened with IT430 to 10 seconds by using the unique 3 days Self-Assistance with Client Generated Extended Ephemeris (CGEE).
Jammer detection and removal
The receiver also detects and removes up to 8 CW-jammers, which can be caused by e.g. clock harmonics on GPS band. In addition IT420 is designed with a SAW filter before the LNA, which means that it is highly immune to signal blocking.
IT430 is available also with an integrated chip antenna. Please see Fastrax UC430
