5 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

TC6000GN-P1 includes a complete GPS engine.

- GPS is fully processed without any host processing requirements

- Standard NMEA message output from the solution to the host

- RTC clock (32.768kHz) should be applied externally.

5.1 Real time clock (RTC)

TC6000GN-P1 requires a real time clock input that will provide time information for GPS after an

off-time. The clock signal of 32.768kHz is not on-module and has to be fed at pin RTC_CLK .

Additionally, the clock signal is needed for some other chip-internal purposes. See chapter RTC

Connection for more details

5.2 I/O levels

TC6000GN-P1 core and I/O sections work at 1.8V nominal. Absolute Maximum Ratings should not

be exceeded

Should the TC6000GN-P1 be interfaced to a host with I/O at higher levels, level shifters should be

used.

No signals are allowed on the device I/Os in the absence of VDD_IO voltage because the

most I/Os are not fail-safe. Not fail-safe means that the pins will draw undefined current from an

external voltage applied to the pin, when no I/O power is supplied to the device. Only exception is

RTC_CLK .

6 GPS CORE

6.1 GPS core description

The TC6000GN-P1 GPS core is a high performance, low power GPS receiver with integrated RF

frontend.

Due to high input sensitivity it can work directly with a passive antenna.

The very short TTFF (Time To First Fix) and improved acquisition performance at low signal power

levels is achieved through an enhanced receiver core architecture.

The improved RF architecture and software techniques reduce the average power consumption.

Minimized error in multi-path environments is achieved through increased IF bandwidth and higher

sampling rates in tracking channels.

TC6000GN-P1 supports APM (adapted power management) schemes to lower the average power of

the GPS core to below 27mW.

6.3 GPS Power Management Features

Power management schemes implemented for any GPS system requires an optimally

tuned performance for both accuracy of the position fixes and the average power consumed for

best user experience. TC6000GN-P1 architecture achieves both these aspects by providing flexibility

and design choices for the system integration based on wide range of use cases and by leveraging

on the proven silicon methodologies. Also TC6000GN-P1 provides position, velocity and time (PVT)

measurements without any host loading. This, coupled with the optional built-in power

management option, reduces the overall system power budget.

Power management features

 APM feature provides overall GPS system power consumption of 27mW in tracking mode

under open sky conditions.

However – same as for any GPS device - the accuracy and stability will be lowered due to

reduced activity of the positioning algorithms. Since working parameters of APM are not

adjustable, a field test is recommended to confirm usability of power saving algorithm.

 Can provide PVT solution without any load on the host, allowing a reduction in overall

system power consumption.

 Position update rates selectable by order option. Max of 1 Hz update rate.

6.4 GPS almanac and ephemeris data

For quick re-acquisition of the GPS after off-times, the GPS engine should have access to almanac

and ephemeris data. This data is permanently stored inside TC6000GN module. When the GPS is

powered-up again, the data will be used to allow a quick re-acquisition, as soon as a coarse time

information is available.

6.5 Push to Fix

The Push to Fix signal is used to initiate a GPS fix session. The signal is defined as active high when

starting a GPS fix session. The session can be a cold, warm or host start fix, depending upon the

availablility and age of the assistance data.

6.6 Pulse Per Second (PPS)

TC6000GN provide a so called Pulse Per Second (PPS) for timing purposes. After calculation of a 3D

postion fix, the PPS signal is accurately aligned to the GPS seconds boundaries. The pulse

generated is approximately 1 millisecond in duration and the repetition rate is 1 second.

More information about the accuracy of the time pluse, please refer to

http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC4000_GPS_for_MCU “GPS PPS Timing Application

Note”.

6.7 Fix Available

The FIX AVAILABLE signal is used to indicate the availability of GPS postion information. This is

typically used to drive an LED buffer so that the state of the device can be easily indicated. The

6.8 GPS Antenna

TC6000GN contains all input circuitry needed to connect a passive GPS antenna directly. Depending

on the application patch- or chip antennas or combo antennas (combination of GPS and Bluetooth)

can be used. However, if there is a long wire between TC6000 GPS RF input and antenna, there

should be an LNA (on the antenna side) to compensate for cable losses ("active" antenna). For

active antenna configuration, the antenna supply DC must be blocked from the antenna signal line

with a inductor L of 100nH and a 100pF capacitor C as shown in the diagram below.

More information about connecting and implementing a GPS antenna to an application PCB, please

refer to GPS Antenna Connection Design Guide.

9 POWER MANAGEMENT

For quick re-acquisition after power-on, the TC6000GN should stay tied to Vcc during off-times to

keep it's RTC clock running. The module is put in sleep mode, by holding the PUSH_TO_FIX pin low.

The pin may be controlled by the host controller or by another power management circuitry, which

might be also a simple electromechanical switch.

A static low level on PUSH_TO_FIX will keep the TC6000GN-P1 in a deep sleep with power

consumption below 100μA.

10 RTC CONNECTION

The RTC_CLK is a free-running clock that needs to be supplied from an external clock source. It is

connected to the RTC_CLK pin on the TC6000GN-P1 , and is a digital square wave signal in the

range of 0 V to 1.8 V (nominal). The slow clock frequency is 32.768 kHz. RTC_CLK has multiple

functionalities:

 Used to maintain GPS time between sleep intervals

 For clock frequency detection at power-on reset, before TCXO_CLK is available

 For power up sequencing.

11 HARDWARE HOST INTERFACE

TC6000GN-P1 is connected to host system by a UART Interface. Since TC6000GN-P1 is used only to

deliver NMEA to the host only a single data line from the module to the host is necessary. The

interface is requires 1.8V I/O.

The idle state of the lines is positive voltage. To interface a standard RS232 UART (e.g. a PC serial

interface), please add an inverting level shifter. To interface processors that have a different

interfacing voltage level, level shifters are required.

11.1 GPS UART Interface details

 The UART interface is used to send NMEA messages and control data.

 The default baud rate is 9600, other baud rates can be selected by ordering option.

 The maximum baud rate deviation supported is ±2%.

20 CUSTOMER SPECIFIC FACTORY OPTIONS & part# assignment

Some features of TC6000GN-P1 are factory presets, that should be added to your order

information. Customers should define the options with the help of the following options table.

In case of an order, GNS will assign a new part# , then. This part# is valid for all

following orders

Just replace <options> by the Short options given in the table below.

Please use a semicolon ";" for separating the options.

Notes:

1. You do not need to specify option values that are shown to be default.

2. If you do not wish any customized options, the part# will be the above mentioned

please define /P (no PPS) if PPS

should not be available.

For example, if you wish to have a baudrate of 115.2k, and only RMC (once per second) and GSV (every 5

seconds) as output data, please order as follows :

TC6000GN-P1 115;RMC;GSV;G5

In another example, Baud Rate is 38400bps, all NMEA sentences except GSV and VTG should be sent at a rate

of once per 5 seconds. PPS shall be off:
