GPS - GNSS Module

We´ll use the swiss made u-blox MAX 7Q GNSS module with the following features:
  • GPS / GLONASS / QZSS
  • UART or I2C interface
  • Real time clock RTC with integrated crystal
  • Timepulse generation
  • 56 channels
  • 2m horizontal precision
  • A-GPS compatible
  • Active/passive antennas supported
  • 3.3V operation
  • Tracking mode current draw @ 1Hz -> 5mA
  • Dimensions 10 x 9.6 x 2.2 mm
  • Weight 0.6g

GPS - Speaker

We´ll use a 12mm diameter, 0,7g weight speaker (254-PS600-RO)
http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/209/KT-400402-194153.pdf

Price: $2.58 @ 1pc ($1.78 @ 100pcs)

As we just need to play some low quality tone alerts, we´ll use the simplest one-transistor amp driven from a MCU GPIO.

GPS - Buttons

We´ll use right angle tactile pushbuttons mounted on pcb edge

Backlight schematics

For the lcd backlight, i´ll be using 4 white 1206 sized leds driven by PWM output from the MCU.
Leds will be mounted directly on the main pcb on the back of the lcd panel.

GPS - Screen selection

I´ve been looking at some options for the e-paper LCD panel. Probably the best option, considering price, availability and quality is one from Sharp´s Memory LCD lineup (http://www.sharpmemorylcd.com)

Memory LCD de 2.7" (LS027B7DH01)
Price: $37.16 @ 1pc ($26.80 @ 100pcs)
Product Specification: http://www.sharpmemorylcd.com/resources/LS027B7DH01_Spec.pdf
Mouser link: http://es.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Sharp-Microelectronics/LS027B7DH01/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMvEZpvz4iUm3h4lv3%252bqmbbZ




Connector:
FP12
0.5mm pitch
10 pins
Price: $1.13 @ 1pc ( $0.843 @ 100pcs)
We´ll use http://www.mouser.com/ds/2/307/XF2M_1110-32350.pdf


Power requirements:
We´ll need to provide 5VDC to the panel.
We´ll use a single 5V bus VDDA=VDD.
Panel power requirement is 50uW aprox (5V @ 10uA aprox) with static image and 175uW (5V @35uA) refreshing at 1Hz
Worst case scenario would be 350uW refreshing at 1Hz. As we want to refresh at 2Hz we´ll assume  700uW.
In other words, 5V @ 140uA. 
So the panel would require 3.36mAh (at 5V) to operate 24h. Perhaps 10mAh at the battery (3.7V) considering level conversion efficiency.


Controller requirments:
Panel will happily take data bus at  3.3V
It would need SPI + 2 GPIO from the mcu
MCU SPI SDO -> LCD SI
MCU SPI SCK( 1 MHz )  -> LCD SCLK
MCU SPI CS -> LCD SCS
MCU GPIO1 (with weak pulldown) -> LCD DISP 
MCU GPIO2 (with weak pulldown) -> LCD EXTCOMIN
LCD EXTMODE -> VDD
