GPS receiver FALCOM JP3 available 18.04.02 10:53

FALCOM announces the availability of the single-board 12 parallel channel GPS receiver FALCOM JP3. It features the SiRFstarII chipset and consists of high-performance GPS core including acquisition accelerator, DGPS processor, multi-path mitigation hardware and satellite tracking engine. The FALCOM JP3 delivers major advancements in GPS performance, accuracy, computing power and hardware integration. The very compact size (41 x 30 x 7 mm) together with the default trickle power mode (max. 40 mA at 3.3 V, 800 ms OFF, 200 ms ON) and superior TTFF acquisition rate (<45 s) allows the creation of variety of compact, low power, high-efficient OEM navigation, security and monitoring solutions. The standard interface board-to-board connection provides easy handling under volume production conditions as well as simple after-sales support concept. The FALCOM JP3 is hardware compatible to FALCOM JP2 and to the Conexant 3 V low power Jupiter board. Beside the creation of completely new applications for mobile navigation and security this circumstance allows the quick and easy upgrade of existing platforms substantially improving their price/performance ratio. Hard- and software designers are supported by a complete evaluation kit. For specific projects using the SiRF SDK Kit and the ARM development tools an own application can be combined with the standard GPS tracking software and thus two serial ports and 3 GPIOs can be controlled. The complete technical documentation is available in section service/downloads/manuals.
