Unlike typical I/O expansion boards, Mini PCIe allows additional I/O functions to be added to a system with almost no increase in overall system / package size. Mini PCIe modules provide a simple, economical, and standardized way to add I/O functions to embedded computer products. Small and flexible. GPS Receiver Supports GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS. NMEA, UBX, and RTCM protocols. Precision Time Reference GPS / atomic clock precision pulse output. Industrial Temperature Operation -40° to +85°C operation for harsh environments. MIL-STD-202G Qualified for high shock / vibration environments. Latching Connectors Prevents detachment failures. Class 3 Manufacturing (optional) IPC-A-610 Class 3 for applications requiring extreme reliability. Details In a very small package, this GPS receiver board provides global positioning and time-stamp information in embedded systems. This GPS receiver module delivers complete position, velocity, and time (PVT) data for use in host applications. The GPS receiver provides simultaneous 56-channel operation for stable satellite tracking and aided GPS startup for fast initial signal acquisition. Support for GPS (United States), GLONASS (Russian), Galileo, and QZSS systems provide complementary coverage to enable reliable tracking in difficult environments such as cityscape / building canyons. GPS data is available in NMEA, UBX, and RTCM protocols. The GPS data is accessed via USB. In addition to positioning and navigation applications, GPS / GNSS signals are widely used as accurate and low-cost precision time or frequency references used by remote or distributed wireless communication, industrial, financial, and power-distribution equipment. The TIMEPULSE output generates a precision time reference via a pulse train synchronized with the GPS or UTC time grid. Linked to the satellites’ atomic clocks, this output produces intervals configurable from 0.25 Hz to 10 MHz. The high precision time reference may be used as a low frequency time synchronization pulse or as a high frequency reference signal. By default, the time pulse signal is configured to 1 pulse per second. The standard model includes an on-board battery to retain satellite position data and support fast restart of the GPS chip. Connection to an external 3.0V battery is also supported. This rugged product is designed and tested for full industrial temperature operation (-40º to +85ºC). It also meets MIL-STD-202G specifications for shock and vibration. Latching connectors provide additional ruggedization, making it at home in harsh environments. This GPS receiver board is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux. The module utilizes USB signaling and can be used in any system that supports USB signaling at the Mini PCIe socket. It is manufactured to IPC-A-610 Class 2 standards. Class 3 versions are available for extremely-highreliability applications. Product customization is available, even in low quantities. Options include conformal coating, applicationspecific testing, BOM revision locks, special labeling, etc. VersaLogic Corporation  •  12100 SW Tualatin Rd., Tualatin, OR  97062  •  (503) 747-2261  •  Info@VersaLogic.com  •  www.VersaLogic.com C O R P O R A T I O GPS Receiver Mini PCIe Module N Specifications Ordering Information Model Function VL-MPEu-G2E VL-MPEu-G2E-Z GPS receiver with backup battery GPS receiver, no battery Operating Temp. -40° to +85°C -40° to +85°C Environmental Accessories Part Number Cables VL-CBR-0202 VL-CBR-0502 VL-CBR-ANT02 VL-CBR-ANT03 Hardware VL-HDW-108 VL-HDW-110 General Description Board Size Power Requirements Manufacturing Standards Regulatory Compliance Mini PCIe Signal Type Operating Temperature Storage Temperature Altitude * Cooling Airflow Requirements Thermal Shock Humidity Vibration, Sinusoidal Sweep † Vibration, Random † 12” U.FL to RP-SMA female bulkhead – antenna cable 12” 5-wire timing and battery cable GPS antenna with SMA connector - supports GPS signals Active antenna with SMA connector - supports GPS and GLONASS signals Mini PCIe module hold-down screws (10) for use with 2.5 mm standoffs Mini PCIe module hold-down screws (10) for use with 2.0 mm standoffs Mechanical Shock † Device I/O GPS / GLONASS Accuracy Startup Time Timing Output Sensitivity Antenna ‡ Host Communication Software Battery – On-board Battery – External Operating Systems Mini PCIe module (full size): 30 mm x 50.95 mm x 6.32 mm 3.3V @ 0.22W (supplied from the Mini PCIe socket) Standard IPC-A-610 Class 2 modified Optional IPC-A-610 Class 3 modified RoHS USB 2.0 -40° to +85°C -40° to +85°C Operating To 15,000 ft.
