Receiver Overview
Trimble's Copernicus™ GPS receiver delivers proven performance and Trimble 
quality for a new generation of position-enabled products. The Copernicus GPS 
features the Trimble revolutionary TrimCore™ software technology enabling 
extremely fast startup times and high performance in foliage canopy, multipath and 
urban canyon environments.
Designed for the demands of automated, pick and place, high-volume production 
processes, the Copernicus is a complete 12-channel GPS receiver in a 19mm x 19mm 
x 2.54mm, thumbnail-sized shielded unit. The small, thin, single-sided module is 
packaged in tape and reel for pick and place manufacturing processes; 28 reflow-
solderable edge castellations provide interface to your design without costly I/O and 
RF connectors. Each module is manufactured and factory tested to Trimble's highest 
quality standards.
The ultra-sensitive Copernicus GPS receiver can acquire GPS satellite signals and 
generate fast position fixes with high accuracy in extremely challenging 
environments and under poor signal conditions. The module consumes less than 
94mW typically at full power with continuous tracking. It has been designed to meet 
restrictions on the use of hazardous substances under the RoHS European Directive.
The Copernicus GPS receiver provides position, velocity and time data in a choice of 
three protocols: TSIP, TAIP, and NMEA. Trimble's TSIP protocol offers complete 
control over receiver operation and provides detailed satellite information. The TAIP 
protocol is an easy-to-use ASCII protocol designed specifically for track and trace 
applications. The bi-directional NMEA 0183 v3.0 protocol offers industry-standard 
data messages and a command set for easy interface to mapping software.
Compatible with active or passive antenna designs, the Copernicus GPS receiver is 
perfect for portable handheld, battery-powered applications. The receiver's small size 
and low power requirement make it ideal for use in Bluetooth appliances, sport 
accessories, personal navigators, cameras, computer and communication peripherals, 
as well as vehicle and asset tracking, navigation, and security applications.
