u-bloxMAX-M8C-0
Overview
The MAX-M8C-0 is a compact, concurrent GNSS module from u-blox designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring multi-constellation support. It can simultaneously track GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo, providing high sensitivity of -164dBm for reliable positioning in challenging urban environments. Housed in a 9.7x10.1 mm LCC package, it operates on a wide supply voltage range from 1.65V to 3.6V.
Why Choose This Part
This module offers high integration with a built-in RTC crystal and oscillator, reducing the need for external timing components. It features an extremely low standby current of 100uA and supports concurrent reception of three GNSS systems to improve time-to-first-fix (TTFF) and accuracy.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate the MAX-M8C-0, engineers typically use u-blox u-center software for configuration and performance analysis via the UART or USB interfaces. Integration requires a 50-ohm antenna path and a stable power supply between 1.65V and 3.6V, with the I2C bus providing a simple way to interface with host microcontrollers.
