RSA-1500L User Manual 1.5 Application Circuit Figure 1-4 Application Circuit Reference Note: (1) Ground Planes: This pin2 should be connect to ground. (2) Serial Interface: (Ⅰ) The TXA pin is recommended to connect to serial resistance(220Ω) and pull up (10KΩ). It can increase the stability of serial data. (Default NMEA) (Ⅱ) The RXA pin is recommended to connect to serial resistance(220Ω) and pull up (10KΩ). It can increase the stability of serial data.

RSA-1500L User Manual Definition of Pin assignment VCC(+3.3V DC power Input) This is the DC power supply input pin for GPS system. It provides voltage to module. GND GND provides the reference ground. TXA This is the main transmitting channel and is used to output navigation and measurement data to SiRFdemo or user written software RXA This is the main receiver channel and is used to receive software commands to the board from SIRFdemo software or from user written software.
