GPS Module for Automotive Applications

Trimble's Lassen® SK II board is a miniature GPS receiver module with less than half-watt power consumption. Designed specifically for embedded solutions for navigation, tracking, data collection, and timing applications, the Lassen SK II module is approximately two-thirds the width of a business card and is fully compatible with first generation Lassen SK8 applications.

Using Trimble's proprietary ASIC technology, the Lassen SK II board incorporates a tighter integration of the radio frequency (RF), which results in reducing power consumption to less than half a watt.

Overview

The Lassen LP GPS features a new set of power management tools that puts the power budget decision in the developers hands. The developer now can determine the best balance between operational frequency and power conservation for a particular application.
