1. Description
The ATR0630 is a low-power, single-chip GPS receiver, especially designed to meet the
™
requirements of mobile applications. It is based on Atmel’s ANTARIS
4 technology and inte-
grates an RF front-end, filtering, and a baseband processor in a single, tiny 7 mm × 10 mm
96 pin BGA package. Providing excellent RF performance with low noise figure and low power
consumption.
Due to the fully integrated design, just an RF SAW filter, a GPS XTAL (no TCXO) and blocking
capacitors are required to realize a stand-alone GPS functionality.
The ATR0630 includes a complete GPS firmware, licensed from u-blox AG, which performs the
GPS operation, including tracking, acquisition, navigation and position data output. For normal
PVT (Position/Velocity/Time) applications, there is no need for external Flash- or ROM-memory.
The firmware supports e.g. the NMEA protocol (2.1 and 2.3), a binary protocol for PVT data,
configuration and debugging, the RTCM protocol for DGPS, SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS)
and A-GPS (aiding). It is also possible to store the configuration settings in an optional external
EEPROM.
Due to the integrated ARM7TDMI processor and an intelligent radio architecture, the ATR0630
operates in a complete autonomous mode, utilizing on chip AGC in closed loop operation.
For maximum performance, we recommend to use the ATR0630 together with a low noise
amplifier (e.g. ATR0610).
The ATR0630 supports assisted GPS.
