Product Description

EM-5318 GPS module features high sensitivity, low power and ultra small form factor. This GPS

module is powered by SiRF Star IV, it can provide you with superior sensitivity and performance

even in urban canyon and dense foliage environment. With SiRF CGEE (Client Generated

Extended Ephemeris) technology, it predicts satellite positions for up to 3 days and delivers

CGEE-start time of less than 15 seconds under most conditions, without any network assistance.

Besides, Micro Power Mode allows GPS module to stay in a hot-start condition nearly

continuously while consuming very little power. EM-5318 is suitable for the following applications:

Automotive navigation

Personal positioning

Fleet management

Mobile phone navigation

Marine navigation

Notebook navigation

Product Features

SiRF Star IV high performance GPS Chipset

Very high sensitivity (Tracking Sensitivity: chipset -163dBm )

Extremely fast TTFF (Time To First Fix) at low signal level

Support UART(bidirectional transmission)/I2C(unidirectional transmission)

interface( Default UART)

Build-in MMCX connector for external active antenna.

Compact size (30.0mm x 30.0mm x 4.8mm) suitable for space-sensitive application

Support NMEA 0183 V3.0 (GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG, GLL, ZDA)

Support OSP protocol

Micro Power Mode(MPM) : Reduce MPM current consumption from <500 uA to < 125 uA

Support SBAS (WASS, EGNOS, MSAS, GAGAN, QZSS)

6 RXD I

This is the main receive channel for receiving

software commands to the engine board from

SiRFdemo software or from user written

software. Baud rate based on flash memory

7 GPIO I/O This GPIO function based on flash memory

setting, and voltage level is 1.8V.

8 VBAT P

This is the battery backup power input for the

SRAM and RTC when main power is off.

Without the external backup battery,

EM-5318 will always execute a cold star after

turning on. To achieve the faster start-up

offered by a hot or warm start, a battery

backup must be connected. The battery

voltage should be between 2.0V and 3.5V.

9 RESET I This pin is input low active. This Module has

internal Power on Reset circuit.

10 NC O EM-5318 reserved pin, Just NC.

MMCX

connector I MMCX Connect to external active antenna

for receiving GPS signal.
