Note:
(1) Ground Planes:
These pin(18、20、21、22) should be connect to ground.
(2) Serial Interface:
(Ⅰ)The TXA pin is the serial output data. Default output GPS protocol. (NMEA sentence).
(Ⅱ). The RXA pin is the serial input data. Default output GPS protocol. (NMEA sentence)
(Ⅲ) The TXB pin is the serial output data (Default Null)
(Ⅳ) The RXB pin is the serial input data (Default Null).
(3) Backup Battery:
It’s recommended to connect a backup battery to V_RTC_3V3 pin.
In order to enable the warm start and hot start features of the GPS receiver.
If you use backup battery, should be adding a bypassing capacitor (10uF) at
V_RTC_3V3 pin. It can reduce noise and increase the stability.
(4) RF_IN:
Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must
to be control impedance from RF_IN pin to the antenna or antenna connector of
your choice. (Impedance 50Ω)
(5) Power:
Connect V_GPS_3V3 pin to DC 3.3V. The power supply must add bypass capacitor
(10uF and 1uF).It can reduce the Noise from power supply and increase power
stability.
(6) Active antenna bias voltage:
The RF_OUT pin (pin 17) is provide voltage 2.85V. If you use active antenna, you
can use this pin to provide bias voltage for active antenna, but you must design the
RF chock circuit to avoid the RF signal jamming.
P.S. :
(1) This pin can provide maximum current is 30mA @ 2.85V.
(2) The active antenna input gain ranges are recommend 25~ 30dB.
(7) GPIO:
The GPIOs functions are for customer used.
If no use GPIO functions, it doesn’t connect anything.

3. GPS Receiver User’s Tip
A. GPS signal will be affected by weather and environment conditions, so it is recommended to use
the GPS receiver under less shielding environments to ensure GPS receiver has better receiving
performance.
B. When GPS receiver is moving, it will prolong the time to fix the position, so it is recommended
to wait for the satellite signals locked at a fixed point when first power-on the GPS receiver to
ensure to lock the GPS signal at the shortest time.
C. The following situation will affect the GPS receiving performance:
i. Solar control filmed windows.
ii. Metal shielded, such as umbrella, or in vehicle.
iii. Among high buildings.
iv. Under bridges or tunnels.
v. Under high voltage cables or near by radio wave sources, such as mobile phone base
stations.
vi. Bad or heavy cloudy weather.
D. If the satellite signals can not be locked or encounter receiving problem (while in the urban area),
the following steps are suggested:
i. Please plug the external active antenna into GPS receiver and put the antenna on outdoor
or the roof of the vehicle for better receiving performance.
ii. Move to another open space or reposition GPS receiver toward the direction with less
blockage.
iii. Move the GPS receiver away from the interferences resources.
iv. Wait until the weather condition is improved.
E. While a GPS with a backup battery, the GPS receiver can fix a position immediately at
next power-on if the build-in backup battery is full-recharged.
