Falcom is producing in volume, the Falcom JP7-T family of embedded GPS modules with an integrated temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO). The GPS core architecture is based on the SiRFstarIIe/LP chipset and supports SiRF's XTRAC software package. The device concept targets critical GPS applications that require high sensitivity, like positioning in a narrow row of houses, densely wooded areas and partially even in buildings. The improved sensitivity characteristic contributes to the substantial improvement of the overall performance of the system solution, provides additional system design flexibility and reduces the total cost of the hardware.
The JP7-T family consists of three members - the JP7-T, JP7-TB and JP7-TC. All have identical electrical and RF-performance but offer different pin-out and mounting features. The JP7-T has a form factor of 25,4 x 25,4 x 3 mm is pin-compatible to the JP7 GPS module, which allows easy upgrades. The JP7-TB has form-factor of 25,4 x 25,4 x 3,3 mm and can be handled like a BGA component during the surface mounting process. Compared to the JP7/JP7-T concept, the device offers additional I/Os and thus can support the entire portfolio of SiRF firmware versions including SiRFDrive software package. The JP7-TC targets applications that prefer to use board-to-board connection to the main system PCB. With its form factor of 25,4 x 25,4 x 5,2 mm it offers a good combination between small form factor and improved flexibility for smaller and medium-sized projects.
The JP7-T family concept comprises a basis for the design of high-sensitive, low-power, compact and cost efficient GPS-enabled system solutions like handheld devices, navigation, tracking and security systems and others.
In addition to the standard firmware package set provided by SiRF, Falcom offers an enhanced firmware version that includes a complete configurable GPS history function to handle up to 100 000 records. The number of visible satellites, distance, time and speed can be used as parameters for the configuration of the profile of the stored GPS data.
