Based upon the stand-alone single-chip GPS LSI of the industry, Sony Electronics, has announced the deliverance of its latest out-and-out single-chip GPS CMOS IC, which will put forward better presentation and highly developed firmware configurability in a stand-alone silicon package.
The latest 1-chip is built on the potencies of the CXD2951 chip, predecessor, Sony’s highly developed RF CMOS down-conversion architecture and digital baseband allowing high-accuracy positioning, high sensitivity and consistent go-ahead presentation including better-quality tracking algorithm and multi-path alleviation.
Developed for an assortment of applications, which are based on location like fleet and asset running and mobile devices, automotive and handheld navigation, the application and firmware programs software of
CXD2985GL GPS receiver can be customized and re-programmed to change features and functionality swiftly and simply.
Aki Hasegawa, president of Sony Electronics’ Component Solutions Business Division said,
Our GPS chip, combined with Fastrax’s SDK, can help reduce time-to- market of location-aware products, reduce the bill of materials, as well as achieve cost-effective firmware maintenance for consumer applications.
