1. Description The ATR0635P1 is a low-power, single-chip GPS receiver, especially designed to meet the requirements of mobile applications. It is based on Atmel®’s ANTARIS®4 technology and integrates an RF front-end, filtering, and a baseband processor in a single, tiny 7 mm × 10 mm 96 pin BGA package. Providing excellent RF performance with low noise figure and low power consumption.

2.2 General Description The ATR0635P1 has been designed especially for mobile applications. It provides high isolation between GPS and cellular bands, as well as very low power consumption. ATR0635P1 is based on the successful ANTARIS4 technology which includes the ANTARIS high performance SuperSense software in ROM, developed by u-blox AG, Switzerland.
ATR0635P1 2.7 Analog-to-digital Converter The analog-to-digital converter stage has a total resolution of 1.5 bits. It comprises balanced comparators and a sub-sampling unit, clocked by the reference frequency (fTCXO). The frequency spectrum of the digital output signal (f OUT ), present at the data outputs SIGLO and SIGH1, is 4.348 MHz. 2.8 Baseband The GPS baseband core includes a 16-channel correlator and is based on an ARM7TDMI ARM processor core with very low power consumption.

3.3 Setting GPSMODE0 to GPSMODE12 The start-up configuration of this ROM-based system without external non-volatile memory is defined by the status of the GPSMODE pins after system reset. Alternatively, the system can be configured through message commands passed through the serial interface after start-up. This configuration of the ATR0635P1 can be stored in an external non-volatile memory like EEPROM. Default designates settings used by ROM firmware if GPSMODE configuration is disabled (GPSMODE0 = 0).

Increased back-up current 2. Leave open For all GPS receivers the sensitivity depends on the integration time of the GPS signals. Therefore there is a trade-off between sensitivity and the time to detect the GPS signal (Time to first fix).
Both USART ports accept input messages in all three supported protocols (NMEA, RTCM and UBX) at the configured baud rate. Input messages of all three protocols can be arbitrarily mixed. Response to a query input message will always use the same protocol as the query input message. The USB port does only accept NMEA and UBX as input protocol by default. RTCM can be enabled via protocol messages on demand.

ATR0635P1 3.5 Connecting an Optional Serial EEPROM The ATR0635P1 offers the possibility of connecting an external serial EEPROM. The internal ROM firmware supports storing the configuration of the ATR0635P1 in serial EEPROM. The pin P16/NEEPROM signals the firmware that a serial EEPROM is connected to the ATR0635P1. The ATR0635P1’s 32-bit RISC processor accesses the external memory via SPI (serial peripheral interface). For best results, use a 32-Kbit 1.8V serial EEPROM such as Atmel’s AT25320AY1-1.8.
4. Power Supply The ATR0635P1 is supplied with six distinct supply voltages: • The power supplies for the RF part (VCC1, VCC2, VBP) within 2.7V to 3.3V. • VDIG, the 1.8V supply of the digital pins of the RF part (SIGHI, SIGLO and CLK23). VDIG should be connected to VDD18. • VDD18, the nominal 1.8V supply voltage for the core, the I/O pins, the memory interface and the test pins and all GPIO pins not mentioned in next item. • VDDIO, the variable supply voltage within 1.8V to 3.
