SL871K2

Single-Frequency and Multi-Constellation Positioning GNSS

The SL871K2L series includes multiconstellation, single-frequency receivers supporting up to four constellations for best coverage and performance.

It offers: 

  • Low-noise amplifiers and SAW filter for  improved performance
  • Multiple power supply options for a smooth migration from 3.3V- or 1.8V-based designs

Product Description

The SL871K2 is a member of the SL871 module family. It is based on the low-power AG3352 platform from Airoha.  

This module has the same pinout as the xL871 form factor. This family supports multiple constellations, including:  

  • GPS 
  • QZSS 
  • GLONASS 
  • BeiDou  
  • Galileo 

The SL871K2 module tracks four constellations in the L1 frequency by default, including the modern Beidou B1C signal.  

This product outputs a precise one pulse per second (1PPS). Furthermore, it embeds timing-related features like time receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (TRAIM) and surveying mode for high-performance timing applications. 

The SL871K2 supports assisted GNSS (A-GNSS) in autonomous and server-based modes. 

Form Factor Family

The SL871 form factor allows customers to choose from different GNSS technologies using a similar footprint. Modules in this family are offered in a 9.7 x 10.1 mm LCC package.  

Our positioning product portfolio results from over 30 years of experience in GNSS applications. Typical applications include:  

  • Fleet management systems  
  • GPS- and GNSS-assisted road tolling  
  • Cellular base stations  
  • In-car navigation  
  • Telematics  
  • Asset tracking  
  • Personal sports training monitors
