SkyTraq Introduces Industry Leading Ultra Low Power AGPS Receiver
Hsinchu, Taiwan, October 29, 2008 - SkyTraq introduced today Venus634LPx GPS receiver, a higher-performance lower-power successor of its Venus634LP all-in-one GPS receiver. The new Venus634LPx features improved cold start sensitivity of -148dBm, better tracking sensitivity of -161dBm, lower full-power tracking current of 23mA, and smaller LGA44 package of 10mm x 10mm x 1.1mm. The device contains all the necessary components of a GPS receiver, including GPS RF front-end, 65 channel GPS/AGPS baseband processor, 0.5ppm TCXO, RTC crystal, LDO regulator, and passive components. A complete GPS receiver requires only antenna, Venus634LPx, and few external passive components.
Featuring industry-leading 29 second cold start TTFF, -161dBm tracking sensitivity, and 23mA current consumption, the highly integrated ROM-based Venus634LPx GPS receiver enables lowest cost of embedding location awareness into portable applications without compromising size, performance, and battery life.
