Note:
(1) Ground Planes:
These pins(18、20、21、22) should be connected to ground.
(2) Serial Interface:
(Ⅰ)The TXA pin is the serial output data. Default output GPS protocol. (NMEA
Sentence).
(Ⅱ). The RXA pin is the serial input data. Default output GPS protocol. (NMEA
Sentence).
(Ⅲ) The TXB pin is the serial output data (Default Null)
(Ⅳ) The RXB pin is the serial input data (Default Null).
(3) Backup Battery:
It’s recommended to connect a backup battery to V_RTC_3V3 pin.
In order to enable the features of the warm start and hot start of the GPS receiver.
(4) RF_IN:
Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must
to be control impedance from RF_IN pin to the antenna or antenna connector of
