GEM1111

1. Overview

GEM1111 is a high-performance L1 GNSS positioning module with antenna built-in, which is developed on the base of the state-of-the-art Allystar Cynosure III Lite architecture.
It supports global civil navigation systems, including GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, and QZSS. Featured with SAW and LNA, GEM1111 achieves high positioning accuracy and short TTFF, especially in a rough urban environment.
It supports antenna supervisor and auto-switching between the built-in antenna and the external antenna. With a compact body and high performance, GEM1111 is widely applied to tracking applications, like automotive, consumer, and industrial tracking.

Feature

• Supports GPS, BDS, Galileo, GLONASS, and QZSS systems Built-in LNA & SAW for better sensitivity
• Supports A-GNSS
• Supports geo-fence function
• Ultra-low power consumption around 13 mA in tracking mode
• Supports antenna supervision
• Supports auto-switching between the built-in antenna and the external antenna

2.2 Detailed pin description

Function	Symbol	No	I/O	Decription
Power	VDD	4	Power	Main power supply voltage input.
	GND	3,12	VSS	Ground
	AVDD_BAK	5	Power	Backup power supply voltage input. Backup power is needed in order to enable warm and hot start features. Backup power is a must for the system to work. If no backup power is available, connect AVDD_BAK to the main power supply.
Antenna	RF_IN	11	I	RF signal input. Use a controlled impedance of 50 for the routing from RF_IN pin to the antenna or the antenna connector.
UART	TXD0	2	O	UARTO serial data Tx.
	RXD0	1	I	UARTO serial data Rx.
Other	PRTRG	7	I	Mode selection or the trigger input in deep sleep mode to wake up the system.
	RESET	10	I	External reset, low active
	1 PPS	6	O	Setting for time pulse output (PPS). Leave it floating if not used.
	AADET_N	8	O	Active antenna detection
	NC	9		Reserved. Leave it floating if not used.
