NOTE: It is recommended to supply Vcc continuously! Use SiRFaware
TM
or
other low power modes to reduce power consumption of the module while no
position information is required.
External antenna input impedance is 50 . Match as close as possible.
Maximum allowed external antenna current is 50 mA. Consider a current li-
miter.
For completeness the following picture shows the use of an RS232 level shifter.

Figure 6: RS232 level shifter for minimum configurations
Remarks:
Place C1 to C5 (here: 0.1µF) close to MAX3232. For capacity values see
datasheet of actual component used.
Use 3.3V level shifter (MAX3232 or equivalent).
