Designed to integrate ground positioning system (GPS) location capability with minimal impact on the target device's size, the eight-channel XEMICS GPS chipset claims to be the smallest and lowest power consuming such chipset on the market. Comprised of one baseband ASIC and one RF ASIC, the 10 mm x 3 mm baseband device consumes less than 5 mW and the 7 mm x 4 mm RF chip consumes less than 20 mW. In addition, the chipset is communication independent and capable of interfacing with a range of devices that includes AMPS, CDMA, TDMA, GSM, 3G, and CDPD. AMEGA ELECTRONICS, Hampshire, England.
