1 INTRODUCTION
The GNS 502 is a ultra small outlined module for
navigation, package tracking and any other applications
where simple, reliable positioning data is a necessity.
Since the chip antenna is already on board, there’ s no
costly implementation work needed. Connecting the 1.8V
power supply, a 32768Hz clock and a serial data
connection is all that has to be done to put GNS502 to
service.

6.1 Automatic Power Management (APM) feature
GNS502 provides APM feature as as a user selectable option.
APM dynamically controls the GPS internal function blocks to achieve the lowest power consumption
in a gives GPS signal condition. APM will work at full power during acquisition and go down to
80mW in tracking mode and reduce the power further to below 50mW (min 27mW) when satellite
signal is unobstructed in an open sky scenario.
However same as for any GPS device - the accuracy and stability will be lowered due to
reduced activity of the positioning algorithms. Since working parameters of APM are not
adjustable, a field test is recommended to confirm usability of power saving algorithm.
By default, APM is set to inactive. Please refer to Section 13 for more information.
6.2 Push to fix (PTF)
The PTF signal pin is used to control the power state of the receiver. If PTF is high, the receiver is
under full operation.
When PTF is going to low level, a deep sleep state is entered, only the memory and the real time
clock will be powered to preserve almanach, ephemeris and real time.
Reactivating the receiver by setting PTF to high within a short period of time (up to 2 hours) will
allow the receiver to re-fix within a few seconds or less.

6.3 Pulse Per Second (PPS)
TC6000GN provide a so called Pulse Per Second (PPS) for timing purposes. After calculation of a 3D
postion fix, the PPS signal is accurately aligned to the GPS seconds boundaries. The pulse
generated is approximately 1 millisecond in duration and the repetition rate is 1 second.
More information about the accuracy of the time pluse, please refer to
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/CC4000_GPS_for_MCU GPS PPS Timing Application
Note.
6.4 Fix Available
The FIX AVAILABLE signal is used to indicate the availability of GPS postion information. This is
typically used to drive an LED buffer so that the state of the device can be easily indicated. The

6.5 GPS Antenna
GNS502 contains all input circuitry including a high performance chip antenna. This antenna is
finely tuned and provides the best performance at small outline.
When mounting the module, any metal , metalized or (ESD-) coated materials should be avoided !
A plastic (ABS,PC or similar) cover of up to 2mm should be ok in any case.
Please keep an air gap of 2..3mm between antenna surface and cover whenever possible.

9 POWER MANAGEMENT
For quick re-acquisition after power-on, the GNS502 should stay tied to Vdd during off-times to
keep it's RTC clock running. The receiver is put in sleep mode by holding the PTF pin low. The pin
may be controlled by the host controller or by another power management circuitry, which might
be also a simple electromechanical switch.
A static low level on PTF will keep the GNS502 in a deep sleep with power consumption at 81μA.
10 HARDWARE HOST INTERFACE
GNS502 is connected to host system by a UART Interface.
Since GNS502 is used only to deliver NMEA to the host only a single data line from the receiver to
the host is necessary. The interface requires 1.8V I/O. The idle state of the lines is positive voltage.
To interface a standard RS232 UART (e.g. a PC serial interface), please add an inverting level
shifter. To interface processors that have a different interfacing voltage level, level shifters are
required.
10.1 GPS UART Interface details
The UART interface is used to send NMEA messages and control data.
The default baud rate is 9600, other baud rates can be selected by ordering option.
The maximum baud rate deviation supported is ±2%.

14 DESIGN GUIDELINES
Although GNS502 GPS receiver provides a good performance, care should be taken to provide clean
signal and clean power supplies. Power lines should be blocked near to the receiver with low ESR
capacitors.
Radiated noise from neighbour components may also reduce the performance of the receiver.
Please be aware, that the most sensitive parts the antenna and the first LNA are part of the
module !
14.1 Pcb layout (example: GNS502 EVB)
GNS502 uses a high performance chip antenna design.
For optimum performance, a ground plane area is needed on the main board. This area should be
at least 20 x 30mm, a larger ground like 30 x 60mm is recommended.
The groundplane can be part of the main ground layer of the mainboard, some (small) components
in the neighbourhood of the antenna are acceptable. Do not place any bulky or metallic components
near to the antenna (in a distance below 30mm) to avoid unwanted electromagnetic shielding
effects.

top & bottom.
Be sure to solder
these pads
reliably !

It’s recommended to place GNS502 at the rim of the main PCB, so that the antenna has a wide
unobstructed working angle.
The marked clearance area below the antenna must be kept clear in any case ! Do not design any
copper tracks or planes in the clearance area ! Do not mount your mainboard directly on a metal
surface. There should be 10..15 mm clearance below the main board.
The two ground solder pads near the chip antenna must be reliably soldered to mainboard.
Please do not place any shielding or lids in the area 5mm below your PCB under the Clearance area.
Plastic enclosures can also have impact on the antenna. Avoid that the antenna is in touch with any
enclosure parts. Product testing should be performed with the PCB already mounted in the final
enclosure.
Generally the rules for good and low noise design should be followed:
Use a solid ground plane, best on layer 2 of the mainboard
Place enough vias (min 0.3/0.6mm) to ensure proper grounding (see example above).
Keep noisy components (µC, switch mode supplies) as far as possible away from sensitive
antenna inputs
Place decoupling capacitors near to the source of noise and provide a short and low
induction connection to ground (use multi-vias if needed)
EMC filters or noise filtering coils or beads can help to reduce the noise level further.
Select system clocks in a way, that no harmonics will match the GPS frequency of 1575.42
