1 Introduction
A2235-H is an antenna module with SiRF Star IV ROM based chip and an on-board
patch antenna (15mm x 15mm x 4mm). It is cost down version of A2035-H with re-
duced size and stacked up antenna architecture. RF switch was implemented (but
NOT on engineering samples) so as to support external active antenna for perfor-
mance enhancement if required. In order to have an easier migration for existing
customers using A2035-H, we decided to keep same pin assignment as that of
A2035-H. Additional pins for supporting external antenna won’t affect this drop-in
replacement property. Since there is an RF feed point underneath the module, spe-
cial PCB design is required on user’s application. Receiver part of A2235-H is fully
identical to A2200-A with latest CSR Premier ROM 9333 and enabling I2C host port,
Host Port I2C_CLK (Pin 14) was added for this new function.
The A2235-H is a module designed for a 3.3V environment.
