POWER CONTROL
The SG Series has a built-in power control mode called Adaptive Trickle Power
mode. In this mode, the receiver will power on at full power to acquire and track

its processor stage (CPU) to determine a position fix (which takes about 160mS).
Once the fix is obtained, the receiver goes into a low power standby state. After
a user-defined period of time, the receiver wakes up to track the satellites for a
user-defined period of time, updates its position using the CPU only, and then
resumes standby. The initial acquisition time is variable, depending on whether
it is a cold start or assisted, but a maximum acquisition time is definable. This
cycling of power is ideal for battery-powered applications since it significantly

In normal conditions, this mode provides a fixed power savings, but under poor
signal conditions, the receiver returns to full power to improve performance. The
receiver sorts the satellites according to signal strength and if the fourth satellite

For optimum performance, SiRF recommends cycle times of 3 00mS track to 1S
interval or 400mS track to 2S interval. CPU time is about 160mS to compute the
navigation solution and empty the UART. There are some situations in which the
receiver stays in full power mode. These are: to collect periodic ephemeris data,
to collect periodic ionospheric data, to perform RTC convergence, and to

consumption during acquisition mode and tracking mode. Acquisition requires
more processing, so it consumes more power. This is the initial state of the
receiver and it stays in this state until a reliable position solution is achieved.
CPU Only State
This state is entered when the satellite measurements have been collected but
the navigation solution still needs to be computed. The RF and DSP processing
are no longer needed and can be turned off.
Stand-By State
In this state, the RF section is completely powered off and the clock to the
baseband is stopped. About 1mA of current is drawn in this state for the internal
core regulator, RTC and battery-backed RAM. The receiver enters this state
when a position fix has been computed and reported.
The table below shows the RFPWRUP and Vout conditions in each power state.
SLOW START TIME
The most critical factors in start time are current ephemeris data, signal strength,
and sky view. The ephemeris data describes the path of each satellite as they
orbit the earth. This is used to calculate the position of a satellite at a particular
time. This data is only usable for a short period of time, so if it has been more
than a few hours since the last fix or if the location has significantly changed (a
few hundred miles), then the receiver may need to wait for a new ephemeris
transmission before a position can be calculated. The GPS satellites transmit
the ephemeris data every 3 0 seconds. Transmissions with a low signal strength
may not be received correctly or be corrupted by ambient noise. The view of the
sky is important because the more satellites the receiver can see, the faster the
fix and the more accurate the position will be when the fix is obtained.
If the receiver is in a very poor location, such as inside a building, urban canyon,
or dense foliage, then the time to first fix can be slowed. In very poor locations

with poor signal strength and a limited view of the sky with outdated ephemeris
data, this could be on the order of several minutes. In the worst cases, the
receiver may need to receive almanac data, which describes the health and
course data for every satellite in the constellation. This data is transmitted every
15 minutes. If a lock is taking a long time, try to find a location with a better view
of the sky and fewer obstructions. Once locked, it is easier for the receiver to
