1. Introduction

RoyalTek RET-3570LP small form factor board is the newest generation of RoyalTek

GPS plus TMC module. TMC can deliver real-time traffic and travel information to

drivers. The driver can be notified of problems on the planned route, at the same time,

TMC calculates and provide an alternative route to help driver avoid the incident. The

combo module is powered by latest SiRF Star III single chip and RoyalTek

proprietary navigation technology that provides you with stable and accurate

navigation data. The smallest form factor and miniature design is the best choice to be

embedded in a device such as portable navigation device, personal locator, and speed

camera detector and vehicle locator.

1.6 Application Circuit

Reference:

Note:

(1) Ground Planes:

RET3570LP GPS receiver needs two different ground planes.

These pins(13、15、16、18) should be connected to analog ground.

These pins(2、10、30) should be connected to digital ground.

(2) Serial Interface:

(I)The TXA pin is recommended to pull up (10KΩ). It can increase the stability of

serial data.

(II) The TXB pin is recommended to connect to serial resistance(220Ω) and pull

up (10KΩ), if use the DGPS output.

If the DGPS output is not used, it won’t connect anything.

(III) The RXB pin is recommended to connect to serial resistance(220Ω), if the DGPS

output is used.

If the DGPS output is not used, it won’t connect anything.

(3) Backup Battery:

It’s recommended to connect a backup battery to V_RTC_3V3 in order to enable the warm

start and hot start features of the GPS receiver. If you don’t intend to use a backup battery,

connect this pin to GND or float it.

If you use a backup battery, you should add a bypassing capacitor (10uF) at V_RTC_3V3

pin to reduce noise and increase the stability.

(4) GPS_RF_IN:

Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must control

RoyalTek Confidential

RET-3570LP User Manual

impedance to connect RF_IN to the antenna or any antenna connectors that you prefer.

(Impedance 50Ω)

(5) FM_RF_IN:

Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must control

impedance to connect FM_RF_IN to the antenna or any antenna connectors that you prefer.

(Impedance 50Ω)

(6) Power:

Connect V_GPS_3V3 and V_TMC_3V3 pin to DC 3.3V. The power supply must add a

bypassing capacitor (10uF and 1uF) to reduce the noise from power supply and increase

power stability.

(7) Active antenna bias voltage:

The Vcc_RF_OUT pin (pin 20) provides voltage 2.85V. If you use an active antenna, you

can connect this pin to V_ANT_IN pin (pin 19) for providing bias voltage of an active

antenna. The bias voltage will run through GPS_RF_IN pin to provide active antenna bias

voltage from Vcc_RF_OUT pin.

If your bias voltage of an active antenna isn’t 2.85V, you can input bias voltage that you

need to V_ANT_IN pin (pin 19). The input bias voltage will run through GPS_RF_IN pin

to provide active antenna bias voltage from V_ANT_IN pin.

PS:

(Ⅰ). The maximum power consumption of active antenna is around 85mW.

(Ⅱ). The input gain ranges from 12 to 26dB.

(8) GPIO:

The GPIO pin is recommended to connect to serial resistance(220Ω), if the GPIO function

is used.

If GPIO function is not used, it won’t connect anything.
