MT3339

Overview

MediaTek MT3339 is an All-in-One GPS system on a chip (SoC). Suitable for a wide range of mobile, automotive, timing, personal tracker, digital camera and industrial applications, MT3339 features high tracking sensitivity for enhanced performance in dense urban environments.

Key features

  • Supports GPS, QZSS, SBAS

  • -165dBm tracking sensitivity

  • 3mA extremely low continuous-tracking power consumption

  • MediaTek AlwaysLocate™ technology for reduced power consumption

MT3339 Product Brief
MT3339 Datasheet

MT3339 requires just nine passive external components, and is pin-compatible with MediaTek MT3337 and MT3333 for a flexible way to develop multiple tiers of mobile device, while minimizing duplication in hardware development. 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 AlwaysLocate™, EASY™, HotStill™, EPO™ and logger functions, the MT3339 provides always-on position with minimal power consumption. These features are excellent for portable applications such as DSC, cellular phone, PMP, and gaming devices.
