Introduction
The Leadtek LR9548SLP GPS module is a high sensitivity, low power, Surface Mount Device (SMD).
This 20-channel global positioning system (GPS) receiver is designed for a wide range of OEM
applications and is based on the GPS signal search capabilities of the SiRFstarIII™ low power single
chipset, SiRF’s newest chipset technology. The LR9548SLP is also pin-to-pin compatible with the
LR9805-III (LR9548) for easier and faster transition.
The LR9548SLP is designed to allow quick and easy integration into GPS-related applications such
as:
PDA, Pocket PC, and other computing devices
Car and Marine Navigation
Fleet Management /Asset Tracking
AVL and Location-Based Services
Hand-Held Device for Personal Positioning and Navigation
Features
