DESCRIPTION
The following product brief applies to the TC6000GN – a highly-integrated GPS module offered by GNS using
Texas Instruments’ SimpleLink™ GPS CC4000.
The GNS TC6000GN module incorporating SimpleLink™ GPS CC4000 device enables applications benefitting
from precise time, location, and/or velocity data. This solution provides industry standard NMEA protocol data for
accurate time, position, latitude, longitude, satellite status, course and speed. Autonomous warm start and hot
start are enabled by on-board memory, improving start-up performance. A single GPIO is used to initiate a GPS
fix (Push-to-fix), activating power management for active and deep sleep modes. Applications requiring high
precision timing benefit from an independent programmable PPS generator. Further, the GPS driver and
firmware is fully integrated into the module, greatly minimizing loading on the host CPU, and reducing system
complexity. This allows GPS functionality to simply integrate with very small MCUs and MPUs.
This solution is provided as a module to help customers reduce development time, lower manufacturing costs,
save board space, and minimize RF and GPS expertise required
The full specification of the TC6000GN can be found on GNS’s website (www.TC6000GN.gns-gmbh.com). More
