RF, Microwave Optoelectronics FTDI introduces a USB-connected GPS module for PCs

2013/09/19

FTDI Chip has introduced a USB-based GPS module to provide positioning data for laptops, tablets or an embedded PC.

Running off a 5V supply from a USB A port, the module is based on the company’s FT230XQ USB-to-UART bridge IC. Supporting USB2.0 Full Speed operation, it can handle data rates of 3Mbits/s.

The built-in location sensing mechanism outputs data in a NMEA0183 v.3.01 format for accuracy. This can then be incorporated into a variety of software applications found on the connected computing platform.

The FT-X-GPS module has dimensions of 60.3mm × 20.3mm × 12.3mm and comes complete with an LED to indicate operational use.

It has a temperature range that spans from -40°C to 85°C and sensitivity as low as -163dBm.

“This small form factor USB-based GPS module offers a convenient method by which to acquire and utilize location data. Furthermore its rugged construction and strong system performance mean that it is highly optimized for demanding operating environments,” said Fred Dart, FTDI Chip’s CEO and founder.

The completely designed module, FT-X-GPS, is now available with single unit pricing of $49.00.
