Datasheet
FIX is an output pin - it is the same pin as the one that drives the red FIX LED. When there is no fix, the FIX pin is going
to pulse up and down once every second. When there is a fix, the pin is low (0V) for most of the time, once every 15
seconds it will pulse high for 200 milliseconds
PPS is a "pulse per second" output. Most of the time it is at logic low (ground) and then it pulses high (3.3V) once a
second, for 50-100ms, so it should be easy for a microcontroller to sync up to it
EN is a true 'power disable' control line you can use to completely cut power to the GPS module. This is good if you
need to run at ultra-low-power modes. By default this is pulled low (enabled). So pull high to disable the GPS.
Coin Battery
The GPS does not
require
but does benefit by having a coin cell backup battery. You can install any "CR1220" sized
battery into the holder. The GPS will automatically detect the battery and use it as a backup for the ephemeris memory
