MT3337

  • The MT3337 is a high-performance GPS System-on-Chip (SoC) developed by MediaTek. It is designed for consumer electronics and automotive applications, providing precise navigation and location-based services. With advanced capabilities in satellite signal reception, fast positioning, and low power consumption, the MT3337 is widely used in devices like smartphones, tablets, wearables, vehicle navigation systems, and fitness trackers.

Product description

The MT3337 is designed to provide high-accuracy GPS and multi-GNSS support for devices that require real-time location tracking and navigation capabilities. Whether used in consumer electronics, automotive systems, fitness trackers, or smartphones, the MT3337 offers robust, fast, and accurate location-based services.

One of the key advantages of the MT3337 is its support for multiple GNSS systems. By combining GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo, the chip ensures superior satellite tracking and better location accuracy than single-GNSS systems. This multi-constellation approach improves the signal reliability and accuracy of positioning, even in difficult signal environments such as dense urban areas where the sky view may be obstructed by buildings.

The MT3337 excels in fast positioning, providing quick time-to-first-fix (TTFF), which is essential for applications like navigation and real-time tracking. The chip's low power consumption makes it ideal for mobile devices, wearables, and other battery-powered products. It integrates advanced power-saving features that help maximize battery life by allowing the chip to switch to low-power modes when GPS tracking is not required, or when only periodic updates are needed.

In terms of accuracy, the MT3337 performs exceptionally well, with sub-meter positioning in ideal conditions. This makes it highly suitable for applications that require precision, such as vehicle navigation systems and fitness tracking. The chip's ability to quickly update position data at up to 10 Hz ensures that it can provide real-time tracking in dynamic environments, such as during running, driving, or cycling.

The A-GPS functionality in the MT3337 enhances its ability to deliver faster location fixes by utilizing nearby cellular towers or Wi-Fi networks when GPS signals are weak or obstructed. This is particularly useful for smartphones or indoor applications where traditional satellite signals may be hard to acquire.

For integration into various devices, the MT3337 is designed with easy connectivity options, such as UART, I2C, and SPI interfaces. These ensure seamless integration with external components or microcontrollers, making the chip versatile and adaptable for different use cases.

Overall, the MT3337 is a high-performance GPS SoC that offers multi-GNSS support, low power consumption, high accuracy, and fast signal acquisition, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of devices that require precise positioning and real-time location tracking. Whether for consumer electronics, wearables, or automotive applications, it ensures robust and reliable performance for navigation and location-based services.
