MAX-M8 series: Small u-blox M8 GNSS modules

u-blox M8 GNSS module, ROM, TCXO

Small GNSS modules for easy manufacturing

• Concurrent reception of up to 3 GNSS (GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou)
• Industry leading –167 dBm navigation sensitivity
• Product variants to meet performance and cost requirements
• Miniature LCC package
• Superior anti-spoofing and anti-jamming
• Pin-compatible with MAX-7 and MAX-6

The MAX-M8 series of concurrent GNSS modules are built on the high performing u-blox M8 GNSS engine in the industry proven MAX form factor. The modules can concurrently receive up to three GNSS systems (GPS/Galileo) together with BeiDou or GLONASS). The MAX-M8 modules recognize multiple constellations simultaneously and provide outstanding positioning accuracy in scenarios with urban canyon or weak signals. The modules offer high performance even at low power consumption levels. For even better and faster positioning improvement, the MAX-M8 modules support augmentation of QZSS and IMES together with WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, and GAGAN. The MAX-M8 modules support message integrity protection, Geofencing, and spoofing detection with configurable interface settings to easily fit to customer applications. The MAX form factor allows easy migration from previous MAX generations. u-blox MAX-M8 modules use GNSS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100, are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites, and fully tested on a system level. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750 standard: “Road vehicles – Environmental conditions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment”. MAX-M8W provides best performance and is optimized for active antennas. The modules combine a high level of integration capability with flexible connectivity options in a miniature package. This makes it perfectly suited for industrial applications with strict size and cost requirements. The I2C compatible DDC interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules. The u-blox MAX-M8 modules can also benefit from the u-blox AssistNow assistance service. The Online service provides GNNS broadcast parameters, e.g. ephemeris, almanac plus time or rough position to reduce the receiver’s time to first fix significantly and improve acquisition sensitivity. The extended validity of AssistNow Offline data (up to 35 days) and AssistNow Autonomous data (up to 3 days) provide faster acquisition after a long off time.
