GPS tracking module takes less than 29s for cold-start time to first fix
The Venus 8 integrates high performance GNSS signal-processing engine, low-power 32-bit RISC, IEEE-754 compliant FPU, cache memory, real-time clock, backup RAM, LDO regulator, switching regulator, GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC and all the necessary program ROM and data RAM on-chip for direct PVT solution with NMEA output in stand-alone GNSS applications. Using high-performance search engine and track engine architecture, the Venus 8 is capable of acquiring and tracking 167 satellites simultaneously, achieving fastest signal acquisition and TTFF in the industry, according to the manufacturer.
It achieves cold-start TTFF of less than 29 seconds and hot-start time of 1 second. Having -165dBm tracking and -160dBm reacquisition sensitivity, the module allows continuous navigation in nearly all environments, even under harsh urban canyon and highly attenuated dense foliage. It draws 6mA under continuous navigation and comes in a 5x5mm QFN40 package. Drop-in evaluation module for GPS, GPS/GLONASS, GPS/Beidou2 applications are available in popular 12x16mm, 13x16mm, 17x22mm form factors.
