MT3333AV

  • The MT3333AV is a GPS receiver chip developed by MediaTek, designed for use in a variety of location-based applications, including navigation systems, tracking devices, and smart wearable devices. Like other MediaTek GPS solutions, the MT3333AV combines high performance with low power consumption, ensuring fast and accurate positioning with minimal impact on battery life. It offers support for multiple satellite constellations, providing robust global coverage and enhanced positioning accuracy.

Product Description

The MT3333AV is designed for use in navigation and location-based services applications, offering excellent performance across multiple satellite constellations. It provides high sensitivity and low power consumption, making it suitable for a wide variety of devices.

Multi-Constellation GPS Support

One of the standout features of the MT3333AV is its support for multi-constellation navigation. This enables the chip to receive signals from GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo satellites, improving satellite availability and providing more accurate location data. By using multiple constellations, the MT3333AV can deliver faster position fixes and better performance, especially in difficult environments where traditional GPS signals might be obstructed or weak. This multi-constellation capability ensures more reliable and robust GPS performance.

High Sensitivity and Robust Performance

With a tracking sensitivity of -165 dBm, the MT3333AV can maintain reliable signal tracking in challenging environments such as dense urban areas, under foliage, or even indoors near windows. The chip is capable of continuing to provide accurate location data even when other GPS receivers might struggle, making it ideal for mobile navigation systems and tracking devices used in areas with poor satellite visibility.

Fast Time to First Fix (TTFF)

The MT3333AV offers fast TTFF, ensuring that users experience minimal waiting times when acquiring a GPS fix. The chip achieves cold start times of approximately 42 seconds (typical), and warm start times of 35 seconds, ensuring quick location fixes when the device is first powered on or when moved to a new location. This is particularly useful for navigation applications in mobile devices and GPS-enabled equipment that need to rapidly provide location updates.

Low Power Consumption

The MT3333AV is designed for low power operation, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered devices such as smartphones, fitness trackers, drones, and other portable GPS devices. With power consumption of <50 mA during tracking mode, it ensures extended battery life, which is crucial for devices that need to run for hours without frequent charging.

NMEA Protocol Compatibility

The MT3333AV supports the widely-used NMEA 0183 protocol, which enables easy integration of the chip with external systems, software, or hardware that uses GPS data. The NMEA standard is commonly used in navigation systems, mapping software, and real-time location systems (RTLS). This compatibility ensures that the MT3333AV can work seamlessly with a variety of GPS applications, making it versatile and easy to deploy in many different scenarios.
