CSR & Samsung Cut Cost of Mobile GPS Modules
January 21, 2008 11:08 AM | Samsung | Comments (0)
CSR today announced that it has halved the cost of embedded GPS solutions through a collaboration with Samsung Electro-Mechanics Company. The resulting products, based on CSR's GPS software and Samsung's module hardware, bring best in class location-based services to mobile phones, media players and personal navigation devices, while taking the guesswork out of GPS RF design and allowing OEMs an exceptionally short route to market. |  |
The 9.8x9.8x2.15 mm Samsung module is based on the SiGe Semiconductor SE4120S GPS RF IC and is a complete GPS RF subsystem, including voltage regulation, RTC and TCXO, SAW filter and LNA. When combined with CSR's GPS software running on a typical applications processor, the system achieves tracking sensitivity of -159 dBm and has a cold start acquisition time of under 40 seconds.
Future products will integrate GPS with CSR's technologies for Bluetooth and FM. CSR will be demonstrating its software-based GPS technologies at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in February 2008.
