1 Introduction
1.1 Purpose
The GPS Evaluation Kit EVA1084 allows an easy evaluation of Vincotech’s GPS
receiver module A1084-A/-B by offering quick access to the ports of the module.
The EVA1084-A serves three major purposes:
• As a demonstration package of the module’s capabilities
• As an example how to integrate the module into a system
• To support an easy temporary design in
The EVA1084-A can especially demonstrate that an active GPS antenna connected
to the Auxiliary Antenna Input and a passive GPS antenna connected to the Pri-
mary Antenna Input will result in outstanding GPS performance. The user can
switch between the two antenna connectors with the ANT_SW signal provided by
the DIP switch.
A Supercap is used to continue RTC operation and to back-up SRAM during power
off periods. The firmware provided on the A1084-A delivered with the EVA1084-A is
identical to the standard firmware delivered on single A1084 GPS receiver modules.
1.2 Contents
The EVA1084 includes the following components:
Please check your package for completeness and connect the components prop-
erly.
Powering the A1084-A GPS receiver module via the USB connector and con-
necting the GPS antenna with sufficient view to the sky will result in an NMEA
output with position information.
The schematic in chapter “10 Board Schematics” is a basic example of how to
integrate the GPS module into an application or system.
The signals provided on the Evaluation Kit allow direct integration into a sur-
rounding system making it an ideal development tool.
