CXD2951GA-4
176 pin LFLGA (Plastic)
Single Chip GPS LSI
Description
The CXD2951GA-4 is a dedicated single chip LSI
for the GPS (Global Positioning System), satellite-
based location measurement system. This LSI
enables the configuration of a single chip system
providing a cost-effective, low-power solution.
Compared with conventional methods, position
detection time and sensitivity are substantially
improved with the use of an advanced signal
processing scheme. With the integration of both the
Radio and baseband blocks into a single CMOS IC,
the CXD2951GA-4 is ideal for use in automotive,
cellular handset, handheld navigation, mobile
computing and other location-based applications.
