Copernicus GPS Receiver
Ultra-Thin, Low Power, Surface Mount GPS Module |
 |
|
Trimble’s Copernicus™ GPS receiver
delivers proven performance and
Trimble quality for a new generation
of position-enabled products. It
features the Trimble revolutionary
TrimCore™ software technology
for extremely fast startup times and
high performance in foliage canopy
and urban canyon environments. |
| Designed for the demands of automated,
high-volume production
processes, the Copernicus module is
a complete 12-channel GPS receiver
in a 19mm x 19mm x 2.54mm,
thumbnail-sized shielded unit. The
small, thin, single-sided module is
packaged in tape and reel for pick-and-place manufacturing processes;
28 reflow-solderable edge castellations
provide interface to your design
without costly I/O and RF connectors.
Each module is manufactured and
factory tested to Trimble’s highest
quality standards. |
| The ultra-sensitive Copernicus
GPS receiver can acquire GPS
satellite signals and generate fast
position fixes with high accuracy in
extremely challenging environments
and under poor signal conditions.
The module consumes typically
93.9 mW at full power with
continuous tracking. The module
is RoHS (lead-free) compliant. |
| The Copernicus GPS module is
a complete drop-in, ready-to-go
receiver that provides position,
velocity and time data in a user’s
choice of three protocols. Trimble’s
powerful TSIP protocol offers
complete control over receiver
operation and provides detailed
satellite information. The TAIP
protocol is an easy-to-use ASCII
protocol designed specifically for
track and trace applications. The
bi-directional NMEA 0183 v3.0
protocol offers industry-standard
data messages and a command
set for easy interface to mapping
software |
| Compatible with active or passive
antennas, the Copernicus GPS
receiver is perfect for portable handheld,
battery-powered applications.
The receiver’s small size and low
power requirement make it ideal
for use in Bluetooth appliances,
sport accessories, personal navigators
or cameras and computer and
communication peripherals, as
well as vehicle tracking, navigation,
and security applications. |
The Copernicus Starter Kit
provides everything you need to
get started integrating state-ofthe-
art GPS capability into your
application. The kit includes the reference interface board, which
gives designers a visual layout
of the Copernicus module on
a PCB including the RF signal
trace and RF connector, as well
as the I/O connections of the 28
signal pins. Also included are a
power converter, power adapter,
GPS antennas, and the software
for you to readily check out how
easy it is to add Copernicus GPS
to your application. |
