Datasheet GPS receiver A2100-A/B SiRFstarIV GPS Module: Positioning Product The Answer to All Challenges GPS Receiver Modules The A2100 GPS modules enable fastest acquisition and tracking with the latest SiRFstarIV technology. With module versions supporting either 3.3V Telematics Platforms or 1.8V there is an appropriate solution for all telematics and power- sensitive mobile consumer application devices. In any case the module fully answers the demand for lowest power consumption with amongst other TM features SiRFaware technology. The removal of jammers does not only facilitate designs of new products, but guarantees operation even in hostile environments. Highest sensitivity, during acquisition or while tracking, allows for use in many different environments and under toughest conditions. Features Benefits Complete GPS module Easy integration Direct passive antenna support Fastest design-in Jamming detection and removal Minimal BOM Flash-based design Configuration / Firmware update Best acquisition sensitivity Ideally suited for all Lowest tracking power consumption small battery powered TM SiRFaware for constant Hot Start GPS applicationsGPS Solutions for Many Applications With the mission to support our customers in implementing GPS functionality into their systems, Maestro Wireless Solutions is offering a distinct product portfolio to address a wide area of applications.These range from traditional telematics solutions to latest highly integrated consumer devices, all of them having their special requirements towards a GPS module. Based on SiRFstarIII and now also SiRFstarIV chip sets,Maestro Wireless Solutions GPS module solutions address different specific needs and combine high performance, low power consumption, and simplified integration effort. Our modules comply with the RoHS standard and are 100% electrically and functionally tested prior to packaging, thereby assuring the guarantee of the highest quality products.
