u-bloxCAM-M8Q-0
Overview
The CAM-M8Q-0 is a concurrent GNSS module from u-blox featuring an integrated chip antenna and the high-performance M8 positioning engine. It supports simultaneous reception of GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS, providing high sensitivity and fast acquisition times in a compact 9.6 x 14.0 mm surface-mount package. The module includes an internal SAW filter and LNA, making it a complete RF solution for space-constrained designs.
Why Choose This Part
The integrated chip antenna eliminates the need for complex RF layout and external antenna matching, significantly reducing development time. It offers exceptional sensitivity of -167dBm and low power consumption, drawing only 28mA during tracking and 30uA in sleep mode.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Engineers can evaluate the module using the u-blox EVK-M8 evaluation kit which provides a USB interface and access to all pins. Configuration is typically performed via the u-center GNSS evaluation software using NMEA or UBX protocols over UART, SPI, or I2C (DDC) interfaces.
