REB-4315 Operational Manual
1 Introduction
RoyalTek REB-4315 is the newest generation of RoyalTek GPS module. The module is
powered by latest SiRF Star IV chip and RoyalTek proprietary navigation technology that
provides you with stable and accurate navigation data. SiRF Star IV is the high sensitivity
navigation engine tracks as low as -163dBm. The smallest form factor and miniature design is
the best choice to be embedded in a device such as portable navigation device, personal
locator, speed camera detector and vehicle locator.
Product Features
48 track verification channels
Power supply 1.8 volts
SMT type with stamp holes
Small form factor with embedded SiRF Star IV technology.
Removes in-band jammers up to 80 dB-Hz, track up to 8 CW jammers
Embedded InstantFix CGEE and Reverse CGEE(3 days)
Enhanced algorithm for navigation stability
Excellent sensitivity for urban canyon and foliage environments.
1.1 Product Applications
Automotive navigation
Personal positioning and navigation
Mobile gaming
Cameras
Asset Tracking
Others location-aware consumer devices

(1) Ground Planes:
These pin(8、18、20、21、 22) should be connect to ground.
(2) Serial Interface:
(Ⅰ )The TX pin is the serial output data.<UART data transmit (TX)>
(Ⅲ )The RX pin is the serial input data.< UART data receive (RX)>
(3) RF_IN:
Connecting to the antenna has to be routed on the PCB. The transmission line must
to be control impedance from RF_IN pin to the antenna or antenna connector of
your choice. (Impedance 50Ω)
Recommend used Active antenna (Gain 27).
(4) Power:
Connect VCC_IN_1V8 pin to DC 1.8V. The power supply must add bypass
capacitor(10uF and 1uF).It can reduce the Noise from power supply and increase
power stability.
Shutdown
Shutdown the REB-4315 module, don’t remove the Vcc_IN_1V8 Pin, must be
use on/off pulse make it into Hibernate mode.(It’s will keep the Warm start
and Hot start function work well)
(5) nRESET:
External reset input with internal pull-up, active low.
(6) ON/OFF:
