ATR0630 [Preliminary]
3.4.1
USB Power Mode
For correct response to the USB host queries, the device has to know its power mode. This is
configured via GPSMODE7. If set to bus powered, an upper current limit of 100 mA is reported
to the USB host; that is, the device classifies itself as a “low-power bus-powered function” with
no more than one USB power unit load.
3.4.2
Active Antenna Supervisor
The two pins P0/NANTSHORT and P15/ANTON plus one pin of P25/NAADET0/MISO or
P14/NAADET1 are always initialized as general purpose I/Os and used as follows:
• P15/ANTON is an output which can be used to switch on and off antenna power supply.
• Input P0/NANTSHORT will indicate an antenna short circuit, i.e. zero DC voltage at the
antenna, to the firmware. If the antenna is switched off by output P15/ANTON, it is assumed
that also input P0/NANTSHORT will signal zero DC voltage, i.e. switch to its active low state.
• Input P25/NAADET0/MISO or P14/NAADET1 will indicate a DC current into the antenna. In
case of short circuit, both P0 and P25/P14 will be active, i.e. at low level. If the antenna is
switched off by output P15/ANTON, it is assumed that also input P25/NAADET0/MISO will
signal zero DC current, i.e. switch to its active low state. Which pin is used as NAADET (P14
or P25) depends on the settings of GPSMODE11 and GPSMODE10 (see
Table 3-12.
