GPS Receiver A1030-A
1 Introduction
Tyco Electronics’ GPS module A1030-A is a highly integrated GPS receiver mod-
ule. It is capable of receiving signals from up to 12 GPS satellites and transferring
them into position and timing information that can be read over a serial port. The
A1030 extends Tyco Electronics’ GPS receiver family based on the ST Microelec-
tronics’ STA2051, already represented by the A1029-A and A1029-B. In addition to
these receivers, it offers additional Flash, SRAM and I/O and is therefore ideally
suited for customer applications. The A1030 basic firmware features high-end GPS
functionality at low power consumption. Major highlights of the module are:
•4Mbit Flash and 2Mbit SRAM
•Operable at 3.3V / 50mA @ 1fix per second
•Antenna link cable with SMA connector
•Antenna sensor pin with defined current sensing range (for antenna detec-
tion or antenna short circuit detection)
•LNA Gain select pin (for adjustment to various RF signal conditions)
•Current limiter (50mA) for active antennas
•Hardware and software stand-by @ 500µA
•Wait-for-IRQ @ 1mA
•Battery back-up mode (RTC and SRAM supported)
•Access to SPI, I2C, HDLC, CAN, USB, Smart Card interface with customer
software
This GPS receiver is available as an off-the-shelf component, 100% tested and
shipped in trays.
1.1 Dead Reckoning
The A1030 offers Dead Reckoning capability. The I/O connector allows connecting
to the necessary signals. This manual holds a detailed description on setting up a
Dead Reckoning solution.

Table 1: A1030-A characteristics
(1) The calibrated clock of the receiver has not stopped, thus it knows precise time (to the µs level).
(2) The receiver has estimates of time/date/position and valid almanac and ephemeris data.
(3) The receiver has estimates of time/date/position and recent almanac.
(4) The receiver has no estimate of time/date/position, and no recent almanac.
(5) Receiver is powered off, clock stops. Start-up time depends on time passed since power-off and
power-on location.
(6) In order to improve TTFF, the receiver allows setting of time/date/position.
1.4 Handling Precautions
The GPS receiver A1030-A is a module that is sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Please handle with appropriate care.
