ERROR

Output

Active high

Normally low.
A high output on this pin indicates that the receiver is in an error state. For information about the cause of the error, log the RXSTATUS log.

EVENT_IN1

EVENT_IN2

EVENT_IN3

EVENT_IN4

Input

Leading edge triggered

Active low

Input marks for which a pulse greater than 150 ns triggers certain logs to be generated. (Refer to the MARKxPOS and MARKxTIME logs and ONMARK trigger.) Polarity is configurable using the EVENTINCONTROL command.

EVENT_OUT1

EVENT_OUT2

EVENT_OUT3

EVENT_OUT4

Output

Active low

Programmable variable frequency outputs ranging from 0 Hz to 50 MHz (refer to the EVENTOUTCONTROL command).

ME_RDY

Output

Active high

Indicates to the host system that the receiver is ready to receive commands.

This signal is not asserted while booting or during a reset.

If an error is detected during receiver operation (for example, an over temperature condition), the ERROR signal is asserted and the ME_RDY signal will normally remain asserted: commands can still be sent to the receiver under these conditions. At the time ERROR is asserted, POS_VALID signal is changed to not asserted. In the rare case of a fatal, unrecoverable error that leads to a reboot of the receiver, ME_RDY, ERROR and POS_VALID are all not asserted while the receiver restarts.

POS_Valid (Position Valid)

Output

Active high

Indicates a valid GNSS position solution is available.

nRESET_IN

Input

Active low

Reset signal input from external system; active low.

This pin must be held low for >20 µs while stable power is already applied, to reset the OEM7720 card.

It is recommended to hold the nRESET_IN pin low for a >150 ms when initially applying power to the card, giving the power supply time to stabilize before the card starts to boot.

PPS

Output

Active low

A time synchronization output. This is a pulse where the leading edge is synchronized to receiver calculated GNSS Time. The polarity, period and pulse width can be configured using the PPSCONTROL command
