FALCOM SMART ANTENNA FSA03 ERSION 1.0.1
1 INTRODUCTION
This application note comprises a brief description of the operation of the
FALCOM Smart Antenna FSA0 , the Pad-Design and an application circuit.
1.1 General
The Smart Antenna operates from internal ROM.
1.2 Technical data (in brief)
The FSA03 architecture is based on the UBX- 5010 single chip from u-blox, for more
information about this chip and the u-blox5 protocol specifications, please refer to the
u-blox website: www.u-blox.com
Temperature Range:
➢Operation: -40 to 85°C .
Directive:
➢RoHS compliant (lead-free) and green (no halogens).
ROM:
➢Output NMEA messages.
✔Baudrate: 9600 bps,
✔RMC, A, SA, SV, VT , LL
1.3 Signal level
The names and position of the pads can be seen from the Pad-Design, which is
added in chapter 3, “Schematics“. The NC-pins in this schematic are not
connected.

2 SECURITY
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the
GPS receiver. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use this GPS
receiver.
2.1 Electro tatic Di charge (ESD)
The FSA0 Smart Antenna contains class 1 devices. The FSA0 Smart Antenna
contains components that can be damaged or destroyed by electrostatic
discharge. When handling the module, observe the necessary safety
precautions against electrostatic discharge (ESD), in accordance with EN
61 40-5-1 and the following. The following Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
precautions are recommended:
•Protective outer garments.
•Handle device in ESD safeguarded work area.
•Transport device in ESD shielded containers.
•Monitor and test all ESD protection equipment.
•Treat the FSA03 Smart Antenna as extremely sensitive to ESD.
2.2 Soldering method
The FSA0 Smart Antenna must be soldered only manually with a soldering iron.
The soldered connection / pad design should be in accordance with IPC-A-
610D - Chapter 8.2.4.
References
Customers may refer to following IPC standard for more details:
➢IPC-A-610D chapter 8.2.4, "Castellated Terminations".
