Backup

battery

(V_BAT)

This is the battery backup input that powers the SRAM and RTC when main power is removed.

Typical current draw is 15uA. Without an external backup battery, the module/engine board will

execute a cold star after every turn 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 5.0v.

(1) Ground Planes:

ET-314 GPS receiver needs two different ground planes. The GND_A pin(11、

12、13、14、15、16、18) shall be connect to analog ground. The GND pin(2、

10、30) connect to digital ground.

(2) Serial Interface:

The Serial interface pin(RXA、TX1、TXB、RXB) is recommended to pull up(10KΩ).

It can increase the stability of serial data.

(3) Backup Battery:

It’s recommended to connect a backup battery to V_BAT.

In order to enable the warm and hot start features of the GPS receiver. If you don’t intend to use a

backup battery, connect this pin to GND or open.

If you use backup battery, shall need to add a bypassing capacitor (10uF) at V_bat trace. It can

reduce noise and increase the stability.

(4) Antenna:

Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must to controlled

(5) Active antenna bias voltage:

The Vcc_RF pin (pin 20) is providing voltage 3.3V. If you use active antenna, you can connect this pin

to V_ANT_IN pin (pin 19) to provide bias voltage of active
