MAX-8: u-blox 8 GNSS modules

2021-07-06
●Abstract:
■Technical data sheet describing the MAX-8 module series, which provides single GNSS reception (GPS, GLONASS) in a 9.7 x 10.1 mm package. It is pin-compatible to MAX-7 modules.
●Overview:
■The MAX-8 series of standard precision GNSS modules features the reliable performance of the u-blox 8 positioning engine, which receives GPS, GLONASS, QZSS and SBAS signals. The MAX-8 series delivers high sensitivity and minimal acquisition times in the ultra-compact MAX form factor.
■The economical MAX-8 series provides high sensitivity while featuring low power consumption and supporting advanced Power Save Modes. It also provides message integrity protection, geofencing, spoofing detection, and odometer functionalities.
■The MAX-8C is optimized for cost sensitive applications with lowest power, while the MAX-8Q provides best performance. The industry proven MAX form factor allows easy migration from MAX-7 and MAX-6 modules by offering backward compatibility. Sophisticated RF-architecture and interference suppression ensure maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments.
■The MAX-8 series combines a high level of integration capability with flexible connectivity options in a miniature package. This makes it perfectly suited for industrial and mass-market end products with strict size and cost requirements. The DDC (I2C compliant) interface provides connectivity and enables synergies with most u-blox cellular modules.
■The u-blox 8 modules use GNSS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100 and are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites. Qualification tests are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750 standard: “Road vehicles – Environmental conditions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment”. MAX-8Q complies with green/halogen free standards.
■The u-blox MAX-8 modules can also benefit from the u-blox AssistNow assistance service. The Online service provides GNSS broadcast parameters, such as ephemeris, almanac data, and time, 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.
