2GPS 16x WIRING AND PINOUTS

2.1 GPS 16x PINOUT

The GPS 16xLVS and GPS 16xHVS sensors utilize an 8-pin RJ-45 plug. The following is a functional description of each wire in the cable assembly.

Red

POWER

GPS 16xLVS: Regulated +3.3 to +6 Vdc. Typical operating current is 80 mA.

 

 

 

An internal 6.67 Vdc transient zener diode and a positive temperature coefficient

 

 

 

resistor protect from transients and over-voltages. With voltages greater than 6.8

 

 

 

Vdc the zener will draw several amps of current through the resistor, causing it to

 

 

 

heat rapidly and eventually power the unit off, unless an external fuse blows first.

 

 

 

When proper supply voltages are returned, the resistor will cool and allow the

 

 

 

GPS 16xLVS to operate.

 

 

 

GPS 16xHVS: Vin can be an unregulated 8.0 Vdc to 40 Vdc, optimized for 12

 

 

 

Vdc. Typical operating power is 780 mW. This voltage drives a switching

 

 

 

regulator with a nominal 5.0 Vdc output, which powers an internal linear

 

 

 

regulator, producing the system Vcc.

open-circuit. Pulling this pin to ground enables the unit; leaving the pin open-

 

 

ON/OFF

circuited powers the internal regulators off and drops the supply current to less

 

 

 

than 1 mA. This input is intended to be driven by an open-collector output.

PORT 1

First Serial Asynchronous Input. RS-232 compatible with maximum input

 

 

DATA IN

voltage range -25 < Vdc < 25. This input may also be directly connected to

 

 

 

standard 3 to 5 Vdc CMOS logic. The low signal voltage requirement is <0.6 V,

 

 

 

and the high signal voltage requirement is >2.4 Vdc. Input impedance is between

 

 

 

3.0 and 7.0 kΩ. This input may be used to receive serial initialization/

 

 

 

configuration data as specified in section 4.1 Received NMES 0183 Sentences.

PORT 1

First Serial Asynchronous Output. This RS-232 compatible output normally

provides serial data which is formatted per NMEA 0183, Version 3.0. The NMEA

 

 

OUT

0183 baud rate is switchable in the range of 4800 to 38400 baud. The default

 

 

 

baud rate is 4800.

PPS

One-Pulse-Per-Second Output. Typical voltage rise and fall times are 300 ns.

 

 

 

Impedance is 150 Ω. Open circuit output voltage is low = 0 Vdc and high = Vin

 

 

 

in the GPS 16xLVS, and low = 0 Vdc and high = 5.0 Vdc in the GPS 16xHVS

 

 

 

and GPS 17HVS. The default format is a 100 ms wide active-high pulse at a 1 Hz

 

 

 

rate; the pulse width is configurable in 20 ms increments. Rising edge is

 

 

 

synchronized to the start of each GPS second. This output provides between 800

 

 

 

mVp-p to 1.7 Vp-p for GPS 16xLVS and 1.4 Vp-p for the GPS 16xHVS and

 

 

 

17HVS into a 50 Ω load. The pulse time measured at the 50% voltage point will

 

 

 

be about 50 ns earlier with a 50 Ω load than with no load.
