uN3010 Specifications

An ORION v2.2 Software Development Kit (SDK) is also available, providing developers with the freedom to customize and add functional blocks to meet application specific requirements.

Atheros offers a comprehensive Evaluation Kit (EVK) that is a complete GPS receiver used for evaluation the GPS performance.  This kit includes the GPS boards, software, product-ready reference designs and user manuals.

Supports autonomous, assisted conventional, and single-fix AGPS modes while exceeding requirements for 3GPP

High sensitivity operation with autonomous and assisted support

Low-power RTC suitable for coin-cell battery backup

Advanced power management architecture minimizes consumption through the individual power-down of multiple core and I/O islands

20-channel GPS architecture, featuring eight independent search engines for simultaneous search and 12 tracking channels with power-down capability

Low-cost, single chip GPS RF front-end and baseband processor implemented in a single monolithic die

uN3010 Solution Highlights

With the uN3010, Atheros offers one of the highest performance, most cost-effective GPS solutions on the market today which also delivers on the size, power and cost requirements so important to our customers.

The ORION v2.2
Software is a powerful GPS navigation software package that supports autonomous, assisted-conventional, and single-fix Assisted-GPS (AGPS) modes while exceeding 3GPP AGPS performance requirements. ORION v2.2 also provides advanced acquisition algorithms to efficiently find weak GPS signals by utilizing the companys third-generation search engine, and advanced tracking loops. These features allow ORION to quickly adapt to the dynamic conditions found in harsh urban canyons.

The uN3010 IC is a highly-integrated GPS receiver comprised of a single-conversion RF front-end and a GPS baseband processor combined into a single die. The L1 RF front-end includes an on-chip low noise amplifier (LNA), and a configurable phase-locked loop (PLL) that supports six (6) TCXO frequencies. The uN3010 provides 20- channel GPS operation and is based on an optimized 16-bit DSP with a compact, embedded real-time operating system (RTOS).

The Atheros uN3010 is a high-performance GPS solution, consisting of the CMOS uN3010 GPS IC teamed with the powerful

• Build the most power-efficient devices
• Design for smallest form factor applications
• Achieve the most cost-effective designs
• Deliver Atheros-class performance in a wide array of mobile devices, all featuring a high level of design and integration ease.
