Introduction
General
This description is focussed on the GPS receiver of the FALCOM JP3 series from FALCOM GmbH. It contains short information about purpose and use of the FALCOM JP3. The JP3 is a single-board 12 parallel channel receiver intended as a component for OEM products. The GPS receiver continuously tracks all satellites in view, thus providing accurate satellite position data. The highly integrated digital receiver uses the SiRFstarII chipset. Please consult SiRF (www.sirf.com) for special information about the SiRFstarII chipset. Information furnished herein by FALCOM GmbH is believed to be accurate and reliable. However, no responsibility is assumed for its use. Also the information contained herein is subject to change without notice.
Users are advised to proceed quickly to the "Security" chapter and read the hints carefully.

Security
This chapter contains important information for the safe and reliable use of the GPS receiver. Please read this chapter carefully before starting to use the GPS receiver.
2.1
General information
The Global Positioning System uses satellite navigation, an entirely new concept in navigation. GPS has become established in many areas, for example, in civil aviation or deep-sea shipping. It is making deep inroads in vehicle manufacturing and before long everyone of us will use it this way or another. The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States of America, which also has sole responsibility for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. The system is constantly being improved and may entail modifications effecting the accuracy and performance of the GPS equipment.
2.2
Restricted use
Certain restrictions on the use of the GPS receiver may have to be observed on board a plane, in hospitals, public places or government institutions, laboratories etc. Follow these instructions.
2.3
Children
Do not allow children to play with the GPS receiver. It is not a toy and children could hurt themselves or others. The GPS receiver consists of many small parts which can come loose and could be swallowed by small children. Thoughtless handling can damage the GPS receiver.
2.4
Operation/antenna
Operate the GPS receiver with an antenna connected to it and with no obstruction between the receiver and the satellite. Make absolutely sure that the antenna socket or antenna cable is not shorted as this would render the GPS receiver dysfunctional.
Version 1.01
Description
Security/Safety standards
Do not use the receiver with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna without delay. Use only a manufacturer-approved antenna. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna with your GPS receiver. Antennas from other manufacturers which are not authorized by the supplier can damage the GPS receiver. Technical modifications and additions may contravene local radiofrequency emission regulations or invalidate the type approval. Authorized GPS antennas: FALCOM ANT-006 (active)
2.5
Safety standards
The GPS receiver meets the safety standards for RF receivers and the standards and recommendations for the protection of public exposure to RF electromagnetic energy established by government bodies and professional organizations, such as directives of the European Community, Directorate General V in matters of radio frequency electromagnetic energy.

As a result the average power consumption is reduced by approximately 80 % (approximately 150 mW). The settings for the trickle power mode can be modified using the SiRFstar demo software. For example if the FALCOM JP3 is configured to enter the OnTime mode each 10 s for a duration of 200 ms the average power consumption can be reduced by approximately 95 % (approximately 15 mW, ca. 4,8 mA at Vcc=3.3 V).

Message Identifier consisting of three numeric characters. Input messages begin at MID 100. Message specific data. Refer to a specific message section for <data>...<data>definition. CKSUM is a two-hex character checksum as defined in the NMEA specification. Use of checksums is required on all input messages. Each message is terminated using Carriage Return (CR) Line Feed (LF) which is \r\n which is hex 0D 0A. Because \r\n are not printable ASCII characters, they are omitted from the example strings, but must be sent to terminate the message and cause the receiver to process that input message.
Note: All fields in all proprietary NMEA messages are required, none are optional. All NMEA messages are comma delimited.

supply should be capable of delivering a sustained current of at least 200 mA. A proper RESET signal is internally generated.
3. Serial Interface Pins RXA, RXB and TXA, TXB are 3.3 V CMOS compatible.
The RX inputs and the TX outputs are 5 V TTL compatible. If you need different voltage levels, use appropriate level shifters. E. g. in order to obtain RS232 compatible levels use the 3 V compatible MAX3232 from Maxim or equivalent. GPS data will come out of port A, if you have an antenna connected and good view of the sky. You can use port B to feed in DGPS correction data. Pull-up unused RX inputs.
4. Active Antenna Bias Voltage For output voltage at the antenna cable the
power of the bias voltage is used. If you can make sure that the antenna runs down to 2.7 V bias voltage and the current does not exceed 20 mA.

enable the warm and hot start features of the receivers. The voltage at this pin can be anywhere between 1.85 V and 3.6 V. If you dont intend to use a backup battery, connect this pin to GND. The use of a super cap for the battery backup supply is not recommended. The quickest way to get first results with the JP3 is to use the JP3 Evaluation board together with the program SiRFdemo.
