Seiko Epson Corp. and Infineon Technologies AG’s jointly developed advanced global positioning system (A-GPS) technology, the XPOSYS, is optimized for mobile devices for the consumer market, especially mobile phones with navigation features. Manufactured in a 65nm process technology, the XPOSYS has improved sensitivity to -165dBm, allowing for pinpoint positional accuracy even when indoors or in urban canyons. Power consumption has been reduced by 50 percent; and footprint has been reduced to fit into a PCB area of only 26mm2—25 percent less than the smallest GPS chip solution available today.
