EOL Announced for FC Oncore.  

The FC Oncore is an extremely small(12.0mm x 16.6mm) high performance GPS receiver, capable of weak signal operation.

Based on the SiRF GSCi-5000 chip, it contains all the functional blocks to perform Autonomous (NMEA or SiRF Binary protocol), MS-Based or MS-Assisted A-GPS.  i-Lotus provided firmware is boot-loaded from the on-board serial FLASH at power-up.

The FC Oncore supports signal detection to -152 dBm, sensitive enough to be used in many indoor locations.

FS Oncore Products previously manufactured by Motorola are now licensed through SiRF Technologies to iLotus LTD for distribution by Synergy Systems, LLC.

Designed by Motorola, the M12M is a true 3 Vdc replacement to the current M12+ receiver.  The M12M has the same "form, fit, function" as the M12+ (same options, mechanical dimensions, and communication commands) and uses the SiRF GPS MG 2000 IC within the RF section and a TCXO instead of a standard crystal oscillator providing a higher degree of reference oscillator stability.

The M12M has an Input Gain Range of 10-50dB, where the M12+ has a range of 18-36dB.  The M12M Timing unit has improved Time to First Fix - approximately 150 seconds Cold Start where the M12+ is approximately 200 seconds, and power consumption is approximately 150mW.

This dual port, M12M development board (no enclosure) is suitable for laboratory testing of the M12M and M12M Timing GPS receivers.  On-board LEDs indicate Power On,  TXD, RXD, 1PPS, and DGPS In. 

The M12M Starter Kit consists of an M12M development board; M12M GPS receiver; Power Supply Kit, 9VDC Out, 100-264VAC Input; Active GPS Antenna; and Standard 9 pin serial cable.

Synergy Systems has developed an adapter board that allows the user to install an M12 series receiver into a product that was originally designed using one of the older 5V Motorola receivers such as the VP, UT, or GT series.
