General description Building upon the SiRFstarIVTM architecture's high-performance and micro-power capabilities, the JF2 devices incorporate innovations such as SiRFawareTM, SiRFInstantFixTM and Active Jammer Removal. The JF2 can navigate to -160dBm and track to -163dBm, providing higher coverage, accuracy and availability. This next generation Jupiter Module consumes only 10mA (1.8V) in 1-Hz TricklePowerTM mode and can maintain hot-start conditions continuously in SiRFawareTM mode while drawing as little as 50-500uA. The JF2 offers A-GPS support and operate with a 1.8V power supply. JF2 supports a full range of satellite-based augmentation systems, including WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN. The GPS module combines the SiRFstarIVTM GSD4eTM GPS engine, TCXO, SAW filter, RTC and memory (Flash and EEPROM modules only). 2.1. SiRFawareTM Technology SiRFawareTM maximizes performance of the JF2 without requiring it to maintain full power. This is achieved by using the following advanced technology to maintain continuous location awareness while minimizing power consumption: Opportunistic ephemeris decode and advanced power management, which allow the GPS receiver to stay in hot start conditions nearly continuously while consuming very little power. Local ephemeris prediction for three days in advance using captured ephemerides, which boosts sensitivity and performance. Dynamic contextual awareness by monitoring temperature change and by interfacing with MEMS sensors to detect movement, which conserves power and also boosts performance.

Technical Description High-speed Location Engine - Twice the available DSP memory and search speed of SiRFstarIII architecture for enhanced sensitivity and navigation performance, greater coverage, reduced time to fix and improved positional accuracy. Adaptive Micro Power Manager - Advanced power management with integrated LDO regulation to maintain hot-start conditions with minimal energy. Always ON 1.8V supply must be used. MEMS Sensor Interface (I2C DR port) - Static detection is implemented and utilizes an accelerometer to determine if the module is moving in order to pin position. Additionally, the SiRFAware/MPM feature utilizes the accelerometer for MEMS wakeup to control the frequency of wakeup from hibernate for updating data. Active Jammer Remover - Advanced DSP technology actively identifies and removes jammers prior to correlation. This feature maximizes GPS performance and helps identify issues during the design phase. Up to 8 CW jammers can be identified and removed. External LNA Control - The JF2 SYSTEM-ON signal is available for use to control an external LNA. When the JF2 is in hibernate/sleep mode, SYSTEM-ON is low. When the JF2 is in full power state, SYSTEM-ON is HIGH. 5Hz Navigation - The JF2 can run with a navigation update rate of 1Hz or 5Hz. This is controllable in NMEA and OSP mode. Note that the UART baud rate will need to be increased to support the higher message output (about 38400 baud minimum in NMEA). High Performance Solution: High sensitivity navigation engine (PVT) tracks as low as -163dBm 48 track verification channels SBAS: WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN. Adaptive Micro Power Controller: Only 50 to 500uA maintains hot start capability Active Jammer Remover: Removes in-band jammers up to 80 dB-Hz Tracks up to 8 CW jammers Advanced Navigation Features: Smart sensor I2C interface Interrupt input for context change detection 3.1. Product Compatibility The JF2 incorporates a new technology far advanced compared to the previous SiRFstarIII designs. It offers an upgrade path from existing Telit and competitive designs. JF2 incorporates the same footprint as the Jupiter3 (J3) with the same pad dimensions. Pinouts are adapted to make use of the SiRFstarIV advanced technology. Please check the HW User Guide for more details. Note that the JF2 is not backwards compatible with the J3.

Major Components All power supply components are on board including capacitors and additional Power-OnReset (POR) for the 1.8V supply. A 1.8V always ON supply with noise and ripple characteristics mentioned in section 5.1 is critical for reliable operation. This can be a 1.8V supply that is backed up by a very low current 1.8V LDO that will supply the 14uA typical when the GPS has been shut down into Hibernate mode. Refer to the HW User Guide for additional details. If the 1.8V supply is inadvertently cut off the GPS 1.8V POR will shut it down into Hibernate with loss of data. It is important that the GPS has sufficient bulk capacitance to enable the GPS to shut down gracefully into Hibernate mode. In addition this would only be possible if a 1.8V battery backed supply is also provided to retain the GPS in Hibernate mode ready to accept an ON pulse once the main 1.8V supply is available again. 3.3.1. ON-OFF This control 1.8V to 3.6V input signal is used to turn ON and turn OFF the GPS receiver. Main 1.8V power must be already available and stable. There is a minimum time period before the receiver will accept an ON pulse once the 1.8V power has been first applied, 3 seconds typical. It is suggested the SYSTEM-ON line is monitored as it will indicate when the GPS can accept an ON pulse after the first 1.8V power application. If a 1.8V battery back-up system is used and the GPS has already been powered up, shut down should be done via the ON-OFF line. The SYSTEM-ON line will not indicate a READY state if the main 1.8V supply is re-applied. The battery back-up supply has kept the system ready and valid and an ON pulse can be applied as soon the main 1.8V supply is stable. Note, clean application of this 1.8V supply is required. 3.3.2. SYSTEM-ON This is an active high (1.8V) indication that the system is ready to receive an ON pulse or that the system is ON and running. A short duration active high pulse occurs on this line if the main 1.8V supply has been connected (if no 1.8V battery back-up is used) and is valid. Note, that noisy or unstable application of the 1.8V power will cause the 1.8V POR monitor to shut the GPS down and lose data. 3.3.3. Band pass SAW filter (1.575 GHz): This filters the GPS signal and removes unwanted signals caused by external influences that would corrupt the operation of the receiver. The filtered signal is fed to the RF input of GSD4e chipset for further processing. The filter has a bandwidth of 2 MHz. 3.3.4. GSD4e Chip This single chip GPS device includes an integrated Baseband and RF sections. The LNA amplifies the GPS signal and provides enough gain for the receiver to use a passive antenna. A very low noise design is utilized to provide maximum sensitivity. This LNA is internal to the GPS baseband and can be switched between low and high gain mode.

A very low noise 1.8V always-ON source must be used. 3.3.6. NRESET This is the user Reset input, however it is recommended not be used. The module has two internal POR devices. One POR for the 1.2V core and a POR for the 1.8V supply. No user POR is required. 3.3.7. Host Port The JF2 has a single HOST port. The user can select between UART, I2C and SPI ports through the use of external pull-up and pull-downs resistors. See the HW User Guide for more details. The UART port is the preferred serial communications port, most popular and easiest to utilize. 3.3.8. MEMS Sensor Interface The DR I2C port is used for MEMS sensor interface. Reference the HW User Guide for more details on how to connect to an accelerometer and/or magnetic sensor. 3.3.9. TCXO This highly stable 16.369 MHz oscillator controls the down conversion process for the RF block. 3.3.10. Memory Two versions of the JF2 are available with internal memory, Flash or EEPROM. The Flash version includes a 16MB Flash storage device for operational software and satellite data. The EEPROM version includes a 512KB EEPROM storage device for patch code, satellite data, and client generated predicted ephemeris. The ROM-only does not include on-module memory. External Host memory or SPI flash may be used to store patch code, satellite data, and predicted ephemeris.

TTFF (Time to First Fix) TTFF is the actual time required by a GPS receiver to achieve a valid position solution. This specification will vary with the operating state of the receiver, the length of time since the last position fix, the location of the last fix, and the specific receiver design. 4.1.1. Hot Start A hot start results from a software reset after a period of continuous navigation, or a return from a short idle period (i.e. a few minutes) that was preceded by a period of continuous navigation. In this state, all of the critical data (position, velocity, time, and satellite ephemeris) is valid to the specified accuracy and available in memory. Requires always ON 1.8V main supply. 4.1.2. Warm Start A warm start typically results from user-supplied position and time initialization data or continuous RTC operation with an accurate last known position available in memory. In this state, position and time data are present and valid but ephemeris data validity has expired. Requires always ON 1.8V main supply. 4.1.3. Cold Start A cold start acquisition results when either position or time data is unknown. Almanac information is used to identify previously healthy satellites. Please refer to section 3.6 for performance data. Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved.

AGPS GPS aiding comes in several forms, for the purposes of this document we will focus on extended ephemeris data as a form of assisted GPS data. InstantFix (SGEE and CGEE) is a method of GPS aiding that effectively reduces the TTFF by making every start a Hot or Warm start, through the use of ephemeris predictions. Client Generated Extended Ephemeris (CGEE) captures ephemeris data from satellites locally and predicts ephemeris for those visible satellites for up to 3 days. Server Generated Extended Ephemeris (SGEE) does not require local ephemeris collection from satellites; it receives the extended ephemeris data from a server and has ephemeris predictions for all available satellites in the sky. The module supports AGPS as standard. TELIT provides a server for customers to mirror with their own servers for download of the SGEE file. Contact TELIT for support regarding this service. Note: Due to memory size constraints, modules with EEPROM do not support SGEE. Note: The ROM-only module does not support CGEE or SGEE. External Host memory can be used to enable both these features. See HW User Guide for more details on how to interface with external Host memory. 4.3. Time Mark Pulse (1PPS) A 1PPS time mark pulse is provided as an output with a width of 200ms. This signal has not been verified or characterized for all operational conditions. Note: The GPS will only provide 1PPS when a 3D fix has been obtained using 5 SVs. When the fix degrades below a 3D solution, the 1PPS will be blanked. Once the fix quality improves back to a 3D FIX the 1PPS will again be output. 4.4. Power Management The following paragraphs describe the power management modes and power states supported by the JF2. Note that power consumption will be lower if AGPS is used. 4.4.1. Hibernate State This is the lowest power consumption state (14uA typical) and allows a Hot Start within 2-4 hours of last shut down. The GPS receiver must have had a valid fix with sufficient visible satellites before having been shut down via the ON-OFF line or serial command. Note: If AGPS is used there will be no time limit as long as the AGPS data is still valid. 4.4.2. Micro Power Mode Micro Power mode is a very low power maintenance mode implementing SiRFawareTM technology. In this mode the JF2 remains predominantly in the Hibernate state, but exits this state only as needed to maintain location awareness and valid ephemeris data. Thus high Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved. Mod. 0808 2011-07 Rev.2 Page 19 of 43 JF2 Product Description 80403ST10103A Rev.7 - 2013-04-18 sensitivity hot start conditions are always present when the ON-OFF signal is used to wake up the JF2 and obtain a navigation update. 4.4.3. Adaptive Trickle Power (ATP) Trickle Power mode is a duty-cycled power management mode that reduces average current consumption by the JF2 while retaining a high quality of GPS accuracy and dynamic motion response. The duty cycle and navigation update rate are specified by the user to best fit in the operating environment. This mode adapts to weak or blocked satellite signals by transitioning the JF2 in and out of full power mode as needed in order to maintain GPS performance. 4.4.4. Push to Fix Mode (PTF) Push to Fix mode is designed for applications that do not require frequent navigation updates. In this mode the JF2 remains in the hibernate state most of the time, but wakes up periodically to perform a hot start acquisition (up to once every two hours) and provide a quality navigation solution. The JF2 also wakes up when requested by a signal on the ON-OFF line. 4.5. Differential Aiding (DGPS) 4.5.1. Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS) The JF2 is capable of receiving WAAS and EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN differential corrections which are regional implementations of SBAS. SBAS improves horizontal position accuracy by correcting GPS signal errors caused by ionospheric disturbances, timing and satellite orbit errors. 4.6. 5Hz Update Rate The JF2 defaults to an update rate of 1Hz. The JF2 can be configured to operate in 5Hz through NMEA or SiRF Binary OSP command (v4.1.0 firmware or later). In UART mode, it is necessary to increase the baud rate to meet the higher rate of message output from the receiver. For example, in NMEA, an output of RMC, GGA, and GSA at five times per second, and GSV at once per second will require at least a baud rate of 19200. This will ensure that the messages are outputted within about 0.75 seconds. Note that the JF2 will continue to run in 1Hz navigation until it gets a navigation fix. Once a navigation fix is attained, it will transition into 5Hz navigation. Utilize $PSRF103 for control in NMEA and MID136 in SiRF Binary OSP.

Noise and ripple requirements are: Supply voltage: Nominal 1.8V, +50mV, -50mV. 0-3MHz range, less than 50mV peak to peak noise. >3MHz range, less than 15mV peak to peak noise. Note: protected by POR, which will force the GPS receiver into Hibernate mode, if triggered. It will require an ON pulse to wake it up again. Sufficient low ESR capacitance is required and the 1.8V supply must have low source impedance to prevent the 1.8V rail POR to trigger when the module is started up via the ONOFF line. This causes inrush current that can cause the 1.8V supply to drop. Refer to the HW User Guide for more details. 6.1.2. External Antenna Voltage The JF2 requires an external antenna Bias-T to provide the voltage to the antenna. This is detailed in the HW User Guide. 6.1.3. RF (Radio Frequency) Input RF input is 1575.42 MHz (L1 Band) at a level between -135 dBm and -165 dBm into 50 Ohm impedance. 6.1.4. Antenna Gain The receiver will operate with a passive antenna with Isotropic gain down to a minimum of 6dBi. Active antennas are supported. The internal LNA must be switched to low gain mode if an active antenna is used. An active antenna of 20dB minimum (exiting the cable) will offer the best performance. 30dB exiting the antenna cable is maximum useable active antenna gain. Refer to section 2.11 for more details. Contact TELIT for in depth passive antenna design support. 6.1.5. Burnout Protection The receiver accepts without risk of damage a signal of +10 dBm from 0 to 2 GHz carrier frequency, except in band 1560 to 1590 MHz where the maximum level is -10 dBm.

Mod. 0808 2011-07 Rev.2 Page 23 of 43 JF2 Product Description 80403ST10103A Rev.7 - 2013-04-18 6.1.6. Jamming Performance Eight separate in band jammers can be detected and digitally removed in the GPS DSP. This is over and above the excellent SAW filter response that exists before the GPS LNA input. Note: The spectral purity of oscillators and RF transmitters in the host system will determine if harmonics are formed that are equal to the frequencies above. Compact wireless product design requires close monitoring of jamming issues. 6.1.7. Flash Upgradability (Flash only) The firmware programmed in the Flash memory may be upgraded via the serial port TX/RX pads. The user can control this by driving the Serial BOOT select line high at startup, then downloading the code from a PC with suitable software (SiRFFlash). In normal operation this pad should be left floating for minimal current drain. It is recommended that in the user's application, the BOOT select pad is connected to a test pad for use in future software upgrades. Refer to the HW User Guide for additional information. 6.1.8. Patch Updates (EEPROM only) Modules with EEPROM can be patched from the Host using simple One Socket Protocol (OSP) Patch Protocol serial messages. Patches are stored inside the I2C Serial EEPROM and are automatically applied by internal firmware whenever the baseband CPU is started. Note: ROM-only modules can support patch updates if Host memory is available. 6.1.9. Reset Input This active low input to NRESET. No user POR is required. It is recommended to not use or connect to this pin, except as indicated by TELIT. The module contains a POR that monitors the 1.8V supply. This POR has strict criteria to ensure system software reliability. If this signal is triggered by low voltage on the 1.8V supply the JF2 will drop into Hibernate mode and the patch RAM and CGEE will be cleared. The JF2 will require an ON pulse once the supply has stabilized to wake up the GPS receiver and return to a full power state (CGEE must be reloaded). If the supply voltage drops low enough for a long enough period of time the RAM/BBRAM will be cleared and the GPS will carry out a Cold start once woken up. Note: If the voltage drops low enough to affect the RAM/BBRAM/PATCH RAM and the 1.8V POR has triggered, all power must be removed from the module for a minimum of 10 seconds to ensure the memory is cleared of all corrupted data. It is strongly recommend a 1.8V back up supply is used to ensure this does not happen. The 1.8V back up supply (14uA typical) will take over once the GPS has been shut down into Hibernate mode via the 1.8V rail POR as the main 1.8V supply inadvertently drops. Enough isolation is required on the main 1.8V supply to prevent current draining back through the main 1.8V supply and cause memory corruption. Review the Designer's Note for more details. It is important that the always ON 1.8V is primary design consideration and must be maintained as much as possible. Review the Designer's Note for in depth information on the 1.8V supply requirements. Reproduction forbidden without written authorization from Telit Communications S.p.A. - All Rights Reserved.
