u-bloxMAX-M8W-0
Overview
The MAX-M8W-0 is a concurrent GNSS module from u-blox designed for high-sensitivity applications requiring simultaneous reception of GPS, GLONASS, and BeiDou. This module features an integrated TCXO for rapid cold starts and an additional LNA to maintain signal integrity in challenging RF environments. Operating on a 2.7V to 3.6V supply, it achieves an exceptional sensitivity of -167dBm within a compact 10.1mm x 9.7mm LCC package.
Why Choose This Part
The module stands out for its high sensitivity of -167dBm and the inclusion of an onboard TCXO, which ensures superior acquisition performance compared to crystal-based designs. It simplifies RF front-end design with a built-in antenna supervisor and an integrated LNA that compensates for passive antenna losses.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To evaluate this module, use the u-blox EVK-M8 series evaluation kits which provide access to the UART, I2C, and USB interfaces. Configuration is managed via the u-center software, allowing engineers to tune navigation rates and power-save modes over the DDC (I2C compliant) or UART ports.
