外文原文 U-BLOX 6m 1 Hardware description 1.1 Overview The u-blox 6 leadless chip carrier (LCC) modules are standalone GPS receivers featuring the high performance u-blox-6 positioning engine. These compact, easy to integrate modules combine exceptional GPS performance with highly flexible power, design, and connectivity options. Their compact form factors and SMT pads allow fully automated assembly with standard pick place and reflow-soldering equipment for cost-efficient, highvolume production enabling short time-to-market. u-blox GPS modules are not designed for life saving or supporting devices or for aviation and should not be used in products that could in any way negatively impact the security or health of the user or third parties or that could cause damage to goods. 1.2 Architecture u-blox 6 LCC modules consist of two functional parts - the RF and the Baseband sections. See Figure 1 for block diagrams of the modules. The RF Front-End includes the input matching elements, the SAW bandpass filter, the u-blox 6 RF-IC (with integrated LNA) and the frequency source. The Baseband section contains the u-blox 6 Baseband processor, the RTC crystal and additional elements such as the optional FLASH Memory for enhanced programmability and flexibility. 1.3.1.1 VCC - main power The main power supply is fed through the VCC pin. During operation, the current drawn by the u-blox 6 GPS module can vary by some orders of magnitude, especially, if low-power operation modes are enabled. It is important that the system power supply circuitry is able to support the peak power (see datasheet for specification) for a short time. In order to define a battery capacity for specific applications the sustained power figure shall be used. When switching from backup mode to normal operation or at start-up u-blox 6 modules must charge the internal capacitors in the core domain. In certain situations this can result in a significant current draw. For low power applications using
