Please see § 8.4.3.1 1PPS for detailed information. Serial I/O Ports All SL869-V2 modules include a primary UART serial port The SL869L-V2 module includes two serial ports – the primary UART and a secondary I port. Refer to the pinouts for port assignments The SL869L-V2S module includes two UART ports.
SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 PRODUCT FEATURES SL869-V2 Family Power Management Modes The receiver supports operating modes that provide less frequent position fixes at reduced overall current consumption. Availability of GNSS signals in the operating environment will be a factor in choosing power management modes. The designer can choose a mode that provides the best trade-off of navigation performance versus power consumption.
SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 PRODUCT FEATURES SL869-V2 Family Periodic Mode This mode allows autonomous power on/off control with reduced fix rate to decrease average power consumption. The main power supply pin VCC_ON is still powered, but power distribution to internal circuits is internally controlled by the receiver.

Default configuration options (not commanded options) This allows the module to retain time and ephemeris information, thus enabling hot and warm starts, which will shorten TTFF. For the SL869-V2 and SL869L-V2, if VBATT is removed EPO data is also retained in flash memory.

SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE SL869-V2 Family Antenna RF Interface RF-IN The RF input (RF-IN) pin accepts GNSS signals in the range of 1561 MHz to 1606 MHz (1573.42 to 1577.42 MHz for the SL869-V2S) at a level between -125 dBm and -165 dBm into 50 Ohm impedance.
NMEA message indicating the antenna line is open. The circuitry to drive this input is external to the SL869-V2 module. This signal is only available on the SL869-V2 and SL869L-V2. The logic levels are shown in Table 8-11 Input Logic Levels: RX and Reset-N, & Ant Sense.
SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE SL869-V2 Family Control Signals 8.4.2.1. RESET-N (SL869L-V2 and SL869L-V2S only) The Reset-N input is a low true input to reset the receiver to the default starting state. This signal is not required for the module to operate properly, so this pin may be left unconnected.
The TX serial data line outputs NMEA messages from the receiver to the host at a default rate of 9600 bps. When no serial data is being output, the TX data line idles high. When the SL869-V2 is powered down, do not back drive this or any other GPIO line. The logic levels are shown in Table 8-12 Output Logic Levels: TX and 1PPS.

SL869L-V2 is configured to use the I C interface. It does not accept DGPS corrections. The SL869-V2, SL869-V2S and SL869L-V2S do not support I C interface. For details, please refer to the MediaTek MT3339/MT3333 I C Application Note.
SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 ELECTRICAL INTERFACE SL869-V2 Family Signal Levels Several distinct logic levels are utilized by the digital signal interfaces of the module: 8.4.5.1. Logic Levels – Inputs RX, RX2, Reset-N, ANT-SC-N, and ANT_OC Signal Symbol Units...
GHz) to minimize loading on the RF trace. Capacitor C5 is chosen to be self-resonant so that it is close to an RF short at the GNSS frequency. Note that the ANT-ON signal is not available on the SL869-V2, so the reference design must be modified to function correctly.
Family RF FRONT END DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS The SL869-V2 and SL869-V2S modules contain a preselect SAW filter in front of the RF input. The SL869L-V2 and SL869L-V2S modules add an LNA in front of the (post-select) SAW filter which allows the modules to work well with passive GNSS antennas. For improved performance, or if the antenna cannot be located near the receiver, an active antenna (that is, an antenna with a built-in low noise amplifier) can be used.
SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 RF Front End Design Considerations SL869-V2 Family blockage, plus any thermal coating applied to the vehicle glass can attenuate the GNSS signal by as much as 15 dB. Again, both of these factors will affect the performance of the receiver.
SL869-V2 Family Product User Guide r03 RF Front End Design Considerations SL869-V2 Family It is important to note that GNSS antenna gain is not the same as external LNA gain. Most antenna vendors will specify these numbers separately, but some combine them into a single number.
Input to the Pre-select SAW Filter (SL869-V2 and SL869-V2S only) The SL869-V2 and SL869-V2S modules include a pre-select SAW filter at the RF input in front of the internal LNA. Thus, the RF input of the module is connected directly to the SAW filter.
