Additional tips and cautions on design are well documented on Application Note, which is available upon request. 4.1 Reference Design Circuit Note: 1. 2. 3. 4. Ferrite bead L1 is added for power noise reduction. C1 and C2 bypass should be put near the module. Damping resistors R2,R3,R4 could be modified based on system application for EMI.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A 5. Packing and Handling GPS modules, like any other SMD devices, are sensitive to moisture, electrostatic discharge, and temperature. By following the standards outlined in this document for GlobalTop GPS module storage and handling, it is possible to reduce the chances of them being damaged during production set-up.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A 5.2 Packing GlobalTop GPS modules are packed in such a way to ensure the product arrives to SMD factory floor without any damages. GPS modules are placed individually on to the packaging tray. The trays will then be stacked and packaged together. Included are: 1. Two packs of desiccant for moisture absorption 2. One moisture level color coded card for relative humidity percentage.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A The moisture color coded card provides an insight to the relative humidity percentage (RH). When the GPS modules are taken out, it should be around or lower than 30% RH level. Outside each electrostatic bag is a caution label for moisture sensitive device. Figure 3: Example of moisture color coded card and caution label This document is the exclusive property of GlobalTop Tech Inc.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A 5.3 Storage and Floor Life Guideline Since GlobalTop modules must undergo solder-reflow process in 72 hours after it has gone through pre-baking procedure, therefore if it is not used by then, it is recommended to store the GPS modules in dry places such as dry cabinet.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A 5.5 ESD Handling Please carefully follow the following precautions to prevent severe damage to GPS modules. GlobalTop GPS modules are sensitive to electrostatic discharges, and thus are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD).
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A 6. Reflow Soldering Temperature Profile The following reflow temperature profile was evaluated by GlobalTop and has been proven to be reliable qualitatively. Please contact us beforehand if you plan to solder this component using a deviated temperature profile as it may cause significant damage to our module and your device. All the information in this sheet can only be used only for Pb-free manufacturing process. 6.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet 1 Document # Ver. V0A Details Suggestions Notes Before proceeding with the reflowsoldering process, the GPS module must be pre-baked. Pre-bake Time: The maximum tolerated temperature for the tray is 100°C. 6 Hours @ 60°±5°C or 4 Hours @ 70°±5°C After the pre-baking process, please make sure the temperature is sufficiently cooled down to 35°C or below in order to prevent any tray deformation.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet 5 6 Document # Ver. V0A Details Suggestions Notes Before handling the PCBA, they must be cooled to 35°C or below after they have gone through the reflow-soldering process, in order to prevent positional shift that might occur when the module is still hot. 1. Can use electric fans behind the Reflow machine to cool them down. It is very easy to cause positional offset to the module and its patch antenna when handling the PCBA under high temperature. 1.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A Other Cautionary Notes on Reflow-Soldering Process: 1. Module must be pre-baked before going through SMT solder reflow process. 2. The usage of solder paste should follow “first in first out” principle. Opened solder paste needs to be monitored and recorded in a timely fashion (can refer to IPQC for related documentation and examples). 3. Temperature and humidity must be controlled in SMT production line and storage area.
GlobalTop Technology FGPMMOPA6H Data Sheet Document # Ver. V0A 9. Module must be pre-baked before going through SMT solder reflow process. 10. The usage of solder paste should follow “first in first out” principle. Opened solder paste needs to be monitored and recorded in a timely fashion (can refer to IPQC for related documentation and examples). 11. Temperature and humidity must be controlled in SMT production line and storage area. Temperature of 23°C, 60±5% RH humidity is recommended.
