Introduction
RGM-3000/REB-3000 is the third generation of
RoyalTek GPS Receiver. RGM-3000(E,M)
consists of active antenna and GPS receiver.
REB-3000(or RGM-3000L) consists of GPS
receiver without active antenna. The GPS
receiver is powered by SiRF Star II technology
and RoyalTek proprietary navigation algorithm
that providing you more stable navigation data.
The miniature design is the best choice to be
embedded in a portable device like PDA,
mobile phone, person locator and vehicle
locator. It supports TricklePower function which
can be enabled by external command for
power saving. The excellent sensitivity of
RGM-3000 gets the great performance when
going though the urban canyon and foliage.

VCC DC Power Input
This is the main power supply for the Engine
board. The power range is from 3.3V±10%,
ripple ≤ 200mV. The maximum current of
RGM-3000 is ≤ 200mA.
GND
GND provides the ground for the Engine
board. Connect all grounds.
VBAT
This is the battery backup supply that
powers the SRAM and RTC when main
power is removed. The input voltage level is
from 2.1V~3.6V. Max current draw is 10 uA
at 3.3volt. Without an external backup
battery or on board battery, engine board will
execute a cold start after every turn on. To
achieve the faster start-up offered by a hot
or warm start, either a backup battery must

Critical design guide and diagram
1. It is recommanded to attach GNDu plate (30*30MM) below RGM3000M module or the antenna
module of RGM-3000E to increase the intensity of reception . Please refers to “Design Layout
Diagram “ .
2. During design of integrated layout, please isolate high frequency noise source (power Switch,data
or address signal lines ) from GPS antenna.
3. Please don’t place metal object above patch antenna.
