MT3337

Overview

MediaTek MT3337E is an All-in-One GPS system on a chip (SoC). Suitable for a wide range of mobile, automotive, timing, personal tracker and industrial applications. MT3337E features high tracking sensitivity for enhanced performance in dense urban environments.


MT3337E requires just nine passive external components, and is pin-compatible with MediaTek MT3339 and MT3333 for flexibility to develop multiple tiers of mobile device, while minimizing duplication in hardware development.

Key features

  • -165dBm tracking sensitivity

  • Supports GPS and QZSS

MT3337 Product Brief
MT3337 Datasheet

With built-in LNA to reach total receiver chain NF to 2.2 dB, you can eliminate the external LNA. With its on-chip image-rejection mixer, the external SAW filter is also eliminated.


Combined with many advanced features including EPO™ and logger functions, the MT3337E provides always-on position with minimal power consumption. These features are excellent for portable applications such as DSC, cellular phone, PMP, and gaming devices.
