GPS Card

  • GPS Satellite Positioning Module NEO7M UBLOX Module
  • Specifications:
  • Working Voltage: 3.3v-5.0v
  • Color: As Picture Shown
  • Description:
  • With micro USB interface, you can debug GPS module with ordinary phone data cable, no longer need to use USB-TTL and other tools.
  • TTL interface is reserved to facilitate the use of USB-TTL or external microcontroller to control and receive GPS information.
  • Ceramic antenna on module board, no GPS external antenna can be used to search for stars.
  • Reserved SMA antenna interface, can use external antenna, star search ability is stronger.

DRIVE50 P1080480-720PX.jpg

  • Uses DRIVE50 50 Ohm Driver
    • Able to drive long 50 ohm coax
    • 5 parallel 74AC14 outputs with 249 ohm series resistors on each output
    • Square wave output
    • Very fast edges
    • BNC is high quality (Amphenol) connector

Alternate (Previous) Driver Design

  • Previous design used modified PulseGen card to drive 50 Ohms at 3.3V level output
    • Remove oscillator circuit parts (R/C)
    • Only 1 BNC high quality (Amphenol) connector
    • Wire from GPS PPS pin attached as below
    • Use 1x2 pin header for power instead of 5MM Terminal Blocks
