1.Description
The ATR0630 is a low-power, single-chip GPS receiver, especially designed to meet the
requirements of mobile applications. It is based on Atmel’s ANTARIS
grates an RF front-end, filtering, and a baseband processor in a single, tiny 7 mm × 10 mm
96 pin BGA package. Providing excellent RF performance with low noise figure and low power
consumption.
Due to the fully integrated design, just an RF SAW filter, a GPS XTAL (no TCXO) and blocking
capacitors are required to realize a stand-alone GPS functionality.
The ATR0630 includes a complete GPS firmware, licensed from u-blox AG, which performs the
GPS operation, including tracking, acquisition, navigation and position data output. For normal
PVT (Position/Velocity/Time) applications, there is no need for external Flash- or ROM-memory.
The firmware supports the possibility to store the configuration settings in an optional external
EEPROM.
Due to the integrated ARM7TDMI processor and an intelligent radio architecture, the ATR0630
operates in a complete autonomous mode, utilizing on chip AGC in closed loop operation.
For maximum performance, we recommend to use the ATR0630 together with a low noise
amplifier (e.g. ATR0610).
The ATR0630 has been designed especially for mobile applications. It provides high isolation
between GPS and cellular bands, as well as very low power consumption.
ATR0630 is based on the successful ANTARIS4 technology which includes the ANTARIS ROM
software, developed by u-blox AG, Switzerland. ANTARIS provides a proven navigation engine
which is used in high-end car navigation systems, automatic vehicle location (AVL), security and
surveying systems, traffic control, road pricing, and speed camera detectors, and provides location-based services (LBS) worldwide.
The ANTARIS4 chipset has a very low power consumption and comes with a very low BoM for
the passive components. Especially, due to its fast search engine and GPS accelerator, the
ATR0630 only needs a GPS crystal (XTAL) as a resonator for the integrated crystal oscillator of
the ATR0630. This saves the considerable higher cost of a TCXO which is required for competitor’s systems. Also, as the powerful standard software is available in ROM, no external flash
memory is needed.
2.3PMSS Logic
2.4XTO
2.5VCO/PLL
The L input signal (f
) is a Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) signal with a center fre-
RF
quency of 1575.42 MHz. The digital modulation scheme is Bi-Phase-Shift-Keying (BPSK) with a
chip rate of 1.023 Mbps.
The power management, startup and shutdown (PMSS) logic ensures reliable operation within
the recommended operating conditions. The external power control signals PUrf and PUxto are
passed through Schmitt trigger inputs to eliminate voltage ripple and prevent undesired behavior
during start-up and shut-down. Digital and analog supply voltages are analyzed by a monitoring
circuit, enabling the startup of the IC only when it is within a safe operating range.
The XTO is designed for minimum phase noise and frequency perturbations. The balanced
topology gives maximum isolation from external and ground coupled noise. The built-in jump
start circuitry ensures reliable start-up behavior of any specified crystal. For use with an external
TCXO, the XTO circuitry can be used as a single-ended or balanced input buffer.
The recommended reference frequency is: f
= 23.104 MHz.
XTO
The frequency synthesizer features a balanced VCO and a fully integrated loop filter, thus no
external components are required. The VCO combines very good phase noise behavior and
excellent spurious suppression. The relation between the reference frequency (f
VCO center frequency (f
) is given by: f

2.6RF Mixer/Image Filter
Combined with the antenna, an external LNA provides a first band-path filtering of the signal.
Atmel’s ATR0610 is recommended for the LNA due to its low noise figure, high linearity and low
power consumption. The output of the LNA drives a SAW filter, which provides image rejection
for the mixer and the required isolation to all GSM bands. The output of the SAW filter is fed into
a highly linear mixer with high conversion gain and excellent noise performance.

2.7VGA/AGC
The on-chip automatic gain control (AGC) stage sets the gain of the VGA in order to optimally
load the input of the following analog-to-digital converter. The AGC control loop can be selected
for on-chip closed-loop operation or for baseband controlled gain mode.
2.8Analog-to-digital Converter
The analog-to-digital converter stage has a total resolution of 1.5 bits. It comprises balanced
comparators and a sub-sampling unit, clocked by the reference frequency (f
spectrum of the digital output signal (f
4.348 MHz.
2.9Baseband
The GPS baseband core includes a 16-channel correlator and is based on an ARM7TDMI ARM
processor core with very low power consumption. It has a high-performance 32 bit RISC architecture, uses a high-density 16-bit instruction set, The ARM standard In-Circuit Emulation debug
interface is supported via the JTAG/ICE port of the ATR0630.
The ATR0630 architecture consists of two main buses, the Advanced System Bus (ASB) and
the Advanced Peripheral Bus (APB). The ASB is designed for maximum performance. It interfaces the processor with the on-chip 32-bit memories and the external memories and devices by
means of the External Bus Interface (EBI). The APB is designed for accesses to on-chip peripherals and is optimized for low power consumption. The AMBA Bridge provides an interface
between the ASB and the APB.

An on-chip Peripheral Data Controller (PDC2) transfers data between the on-chip USARTs/SPI
and the on- and off-chip memories without processor intervention. Most importantly, the PDC2
removes the processor interrupt handling overhead and significantly reduces the number of
clock cycles required for a data transfer. It can transfer up to 64K contiguous bytes without
reprogramming the starting address. As a result, the performance of the microcontroller is
increased and the power consumption reduced.
All of the external signals of the on-chip peripherals are under the control of the Parallel I/O Controller (PIO2). The PIO2 Controller can be programmed to insert an input filter on each pin or
generate an interrupt on a signal change. After reset, the user must carefully program the PIO2
Controller in order to define which peripheral signals are connected with off-chip logic.
The ATR0630 features a Programmable Watchdog Timer.
An Advanced Power Management Controller (APMC) allows for the peripherals to be deactivated individually. Automatic master clock gearing reduces power consumption. A Sleep Mode
is available with disabled 23.104 MHz master clock, as well as a Back-up Mode operating
32.768 kHz master clock.
A 32.768 kHz Real Time Clock (RTC), together with a buit-in battery back-up SRAM, allows for
storage of Almanac, Ephemeris, software configurations to make quick hot- and warm starts.
The ATR0630 includes full GPS firmware, licensed from u-blox AG, Switzerland. Features of the
ROM firmware are described in software documentation available from u-blox AG, Switzerland.

3.3Setting GPSMODE0 to GPSMODE12
The start-up configuration of this ROM-based system without external non-volatile memory is
defined by the status of the GPSMODE pins after system reset. Alternatively, the system can be
configured through message commands passed through the serial interface after start-up. This
configuration of the ATR0630 can be stored in an external non-volatile memory like EEPROM.
Default designates settings used by ROM firmware if GPSMODE configuration is disabled
(GPSMODE0 = 0).

If the GPSMODE configuration is enabled (GPSMODE0 = 1) and the other GPSMODE pins are
not connected externally, the reset default values of the internal pull-down and pull-up resistors
will be used.
The ATR0630 features a two-stage I/O-message and protocol-selection procedure for the two
available serial ports. At the first stage, a certain protocol can be enabled or disabled for a given
USART port or the USB port. Selectable protocols are RTCM, NMEA and UBX. At the second
stage, messages can be enabled or disabled for each enabled protocol on each port. In all configurations described below, all protocols are enabled on all ports, but output messages are
enabled in a way that ports appear to communicate at only one protocol. However, each port will
accept any input message in any of the three implemented protocols
USART2
(Output Protocol/
Baud Rate (kBaud)) Messages Information Messages
Both USART ports accept input messages in all three supported protocols (NMEA, RTCM and
UBX) at the configured baud rate. Input messages of all three protocols can be arbitrarily mixed.
Response to a query input message will always use the same protocol as the query input message. The USB port does only accept NMEA and UBX as input protocol by default. RTCM can
be enabled via protocol messages on demand.
In Auto mode, no output message is sent out by default, but all input messages are accepted at
any supported baud rate. Again, USB is restricted to only NMEA and UBX protocols. Response
to query input commands will be given by the same protocol and baud rate as it was used for the
query command. Using the respective configuration commands, periodic output messages can
be enabled.

For correct response to the USB host queries, the device has to know its power mode. This is
configured via GPSMODE7. If set to bus powered, an upper current limit of 100 mA is reported
to the USB host; that is, the device classifies itself as a “low-power bus-powered function” with
no more than one USB power unit load.

3.4.2Active Antenna Supervisor
The two pins P0/NANTSHORT and P15/ANTON plus one pin of P25/NAADET0/MISO or
P14/NAADET1 are always initialized as general purpose I/Os and used as follows:
• P15/ANTON is an output which can be used to switch on and off antenna power supply.
• Input P0/NANTSHORT will indicate an antenna short circuit, i.e. zero DC voltage at the
antenna, to the firmware. If the antenna is switched off by output P15/ANTON, it is assumed
that also input P0/NANTSHORT will signal zero DC voltage, i.e. switch to its active low state.
• Input P25/NAADET0/MISO or P14/NAADET1 will indicate a DC current into the antenna. In
case of short circuit, both P0 and P25/P14 will be active, i.e. at low level. If the antenna is
switched off by output P15/ANTON, it is assumed that also input P25/NAADET0/MISO will
signal zero DC current, i.e. switch to its active low state. Which pin is used as NAADET (P14
or P25) depends on the settings of GPSMODE11 and GPSMODE10 (see Table 3-14 on
page 16).

3.5Connecting an Optional Serial EEPROM
The ATR0630 offers the possibility of connecting an external serial EEPROM. The internal ROM
firmware supports storing the configuration of the ATR0630 in serial EEPROM. The pin
P16/NEEPROM signals the firmware that a serial EEPROM is connected to the ATR0630. The
ATR0630’s 32-bit RISC processor accesses the external memory via SPI (serial peripheral interface). For best results, use a 32-Kbit 1.8V serial EEPROM such as Atmel’s AT25320AY1-1.8.

The ATR0630 contains a built in low dropout voltage regulator LDO18. This regulator can be
used if the host system does not provide the core voltage VDD18 of 1.8V nominal. In such case,
LDO18 will provide a 1.8V supply voltage from any input voltage VDD between 2.3V and 3.6V.
The LDO_EN input can be used to shut down VDD18 if the system is in standby mode.
If the host system does supply a 1.8V core voltage directly, this voltage has to be connected to
the VDD18 supply pins of the Core. LDO_EN must be connected to GND. LDO_IN can be connected to GND. LDO_OUT must not be connected.
A second built in low dropout voltage regulator LDOBAT provides the supply voltage for the RTC
and backup SRAM from any input voltage VBAT between 1.5V and 3.6V. The backup battery
delivers the supply current if LDOBAT_IN is not powered.

The RTC section will be initialized properly if VDD18 is supplied first to the ATR0630. If VBAT is
applied first, the current consumption of the RTC and backup SRAM is undetermined.
