Zener Diode as a Voltage regulator for GPS

- Zener:


- Regulador de voltaje:
You may try connect the 6V output to series with zener 5.6V and resistane (resistance power calculate) connect your output(between zener diode) to feedback of ADC Ref terminal. (ADC won't need exact 5V , you need some changes in programming) The resistor will dissipate excess voltage.

Connection diagram like this:

(6V positive) ---> resistance <---> zener5.6V ---> (6v negative) | | output + - Zener diode direction is most important.

- GPS:

GPS Module with Antenna

Uart TTL Output, Baud Rate 4800, 1HZ
1PPS Output: When GPS module get location, it will output 1PPS pulse every 1 second.

Note: This is GPS Module with Antenna, chip is Telit JF2 GPS, low power, SiRF IV.

Size: 28mm*28mm*8.5mm

About Pin:
1) VCC, 2.8V to 5.5V
2) GND
3) RX, no use
4) TX, Uart output, baud rate is 4800
5) 1PPS, when GPS module get location, it will output 1PPS signal every 1 second. The signal is active hign 100ms pulse
