Overview
The TIM-LF GPS receiver macro component is another milestone in the miniaturization of GPS receiver modules. Innovative packaging technology has opened the door for a thin and compact GPS receiver unique to the market. The TIM-LF macro component is SMT solderable and can be handled by standard pick-and-place equipment. This allows a fully automatic assembly process. The height of 3mm (~120mil) and the size of 25.4 x 25.4 mm (1" x 1") make it the ideal GPS solution for applications with stringent space requirements.
