With dual-frequency RF front-end, the u-blox M8 concurrent GNSS engine is able to intelligently use the highest amount of visible satellites from two GNSS (GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou) systems for more reli-able positioning. The MAX-M8 series is ideal for performance driven applications. The MAX-M8 series provides high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times while maintaining low system power. The MAX-M8C is optimized for cost sensitive applications and has the lowest power consumption, the MAX-M8Q provides best performance for passive and active antennas designs, while the MAX-M8W is optimized for active antennas with best performance. The industry-proven MAX form factor allows easy migration from previous MAX generations. Sophisticated RF-architecture and interference suppression ensure maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments. The MAX-M8 combines a high level of inte gration capability with flexible connectivity options in a miniature package. This makes MAX-M8 perfectly suited for industrial applications with strict size and cost requirements. The MAX-M8Q is also halogen free (green) which makes it also a perfect solution for consumer applications. The DDC (I2C compliant) interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules. u-blox 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”.ProductselectorModelTypeSupplyInterfacesFeaturesGradeGPS / QZSSGLONASSGalileoBeiDouTimingDead ReckoningPrecise Point PositioningRaw Data1.65 V – 3.6 V2.7 V – 3.6 VLowest power (DC/DC)UARTUSBSPIDDC (I2C compliant)Programmable (Flash) Data loggingAdditional SAWAdditional LNARTC crystalInternal oscillatorActive antenna / LNA supplyActive antenna / LNA controlAntenna short circuitdetection / protection pinAntenna open circuitdetection pinFrequency outputStandardProfessionalAutomotiveMAX-M8C•••••••tC••MAX-M8Q••••••••T••MAX-M8W•••••••T•••POSITIONINGUBX-13004508 - R08Production Information = Optional, not activated per default or requires external components t = Higher backup current C = Crystal / T = TCXOStandardProfessionalAutomotivePackage18 pin LCC (Leadless Chip Carrier): 9.7x10.1x2.5mmPinout LegalNoticeu-blox reserves all rights to this document and the information contained herein.
