GPS module runs fast and deep signal searches

The A1080-A GPS module is capable of tracking 20 satellites down to a -159dBm signal level, using more than 200,000 correlators for fast and deep signal searches.New from Tyco Electronics, the A1080-A GPS module is capable of tracking 20 satellites down to a -159dBm signal level, using more than 200,000 correlators for fast and deep signal searches.

Fully pin compatible with the low-cost A1037-A GPS module, the new device combines the smallest footprint (19 x 16mm) with easy implementation, even in handheld devices and other size optimised applications.

First evaluation kits for performance check and product samples for design-in support will be available in December 2006 with mass production planned for early 2007.
