MT3332N/B

  • The MT3332N/B is a GPS receiver SoC (System on Chip) developed by MediaTek, designed for a variety of navigation and location-based applications. It is widely used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, wearables, fitness trackers, and portable GPS devices. The MT3332N/B offers excellent positioning accuracy, low power consumption, fast satellite acquisition, and multi-constellation support to meet the needs of modern GPS applications, particularly those requiring compact, low-power, and high-performance solutions.

Product description

The MT3332N/B is a highly capable GPS receiver that offers multi-constellation support, high sensitivity, fast acquisition, and low power consumption. These features make it an ideal choice for a wide range of devices that rely on precise and efficient GPS positioning.

Multi-Constellation Support:

The MT3332N/B supports GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS, ensuring that the chip has access to a wide range of satellites. This support improves positioning accuracy and reliability, especially in areas with limited visibility to the sky, such as urban environments or dense forests. The increased number of tracked satellites helps reduce signal dropouts and allows the device to maintain a more consistent GPS lock.

High Sensitivity:

One of the standout features of the MT3332N/B is its high sensitivity of -165 dBm for tracking GPS signals. This means the chip is capable of maintaining GPS fixes even when the device is in locations with poor signal reception, such as deep inside buildings or areas surrounded by tall structures. High sensitivity ensures that users can rely on the device for accurate positioning in a variety of environments.

Fast Time to First Fix (TTFF):

The MT3332N/B is optimized for quick satellite acquisition, enabling it to achieve a cold start in about 32 seconds, a warm start in 1-2 seconds, and a hot start in approximately 0.1 seconds. These quick acquisition times minimize the wait before the device can begin using the GPS signal, making it ideal for real-time applications that require near-instant positioning, such as navigation and location-based services.

Low Power Consumption:

Low power consumption is one of the key selling points of the MT3332N/B. In active mode, it consumes only around 30 mA, ensuring efficient energy use in portable devices that rely on battery power. Additionally, the chip’s sleep mode consumes less than 1 µA, enabling long battery life for devices like fitness trackers, smartwatches, and wearable GPS devices.
