Overview
Support Products
The TIM-LP GPS macro-component is a self-contained
receiver for the Global Positioning System (GPS). The
complete signal processing chain from antenna input to
serial data output is contained within one single
component. The thickness of 3mm (~120mil) at the
size of 25.4 mm x 25.4 mm (1” x 1”) makes it the ideal
GPS solution for applications with stringent space
requirements. Build in the proven concept of macrocomponents, it is optimized for easy handling in high
quantity manufacturing.
Benefits
• Ultra-low power consumption
• Fully self-contained GPS receiver (PVT output)
• Fast Time-to-first-fix
• Excellent navigation accuracy
• Immune to RF interference
• Battery voltage supply pin for internal backup
memory and real time clock
• Very compact design
• Automatic pick and place assembly
• Reflow solderable
• No RF connector, RF input pin
• Fully EMI shielded

ANTARIS™ Software Customization Kit
The ANTARIS™ Software Customization Kit (SCKit)
enables you to implement your own code on TIM-LP.
The Application Link Layer (ALL) of the ANTARIS™
GPS software offers a powerful API (Application
Programmer’s Interface) for fast and safe integration
of your application code.
Product Summary
TIM-LP is an ultra-low power GPS receiver macrocomponent. The ANTARIS™ GPS positioning
engine offers the very best GPS performance. With
its innovative packaging technology the TIM-LP
GPS receiver is the ideal solution for high volume
applications. The RF input is available on a pin.
