GPS Receivers
SiRF Technology announces a family of highly integrated, low-power GPS products based on the company’s SiRFstarIII architecture unveiled last year. The SiRF GSC3f combines a complete A-GPS digital baseband processor, RF front end, and 4 Mb of flash memory in a 7 × 10 mm package, providing makers of cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras and other portable and wireless devices with a drop-in solution they can use to deliver real-time location and navigation capabilities. The GSC3f and the GSC3 (without internal flash memory) receivers deliver good sensitivity and fast time to first fix (TTFF) in a compact, 140-pin BGA package. The digital section of both devices includes a SiRFstarIII core GPS signal processor that handles all the time-critical and low-latency acquisition, tracking, and reacquisition tasks autonomously, and a 50 MHz ARM7TDMI processor designed to run many OEM user applications.
