The UBX-M10150-CC is an ultra-low power GNSS chip, designed for integration into wearable applications including sports and smart watches, as well as other battery-powered devices with size constraints. The firmware is upgradeable and has been optimized to support a wide range of use cases and sporting activities.
The GNSS solution footprint is below 30 mm2, including required external components, thanks to the small 2.39 x 2.39 mm wafer-level chip package. Furthermore, the 0.5mm z-height enables the creation of compact and slim product designs.
The LEAP technology offers low energy accurate positioning reaching 10mW power consumption. It provides an optimal balance between low power consumption and position accuracy. Adaptation to signal conditions enables a reduction in power consumption of at least 50% while maintaining position accuracy. This can be achieved in a variety of signal environments, from urban to forest and open sky, with the use of compact wearable antennas.
The UBX-M10150-CC optimizes the overall system power consumption by excluding the need for any heavy signal processing on the application processor, while also allowing for automatic external LNA switching, which saves additional power. The application processor can be set to deep sleep mode, which allows navigation data to be stored internally (data batching).
The u-blox M10 utilizes proprietary multipath mitigation technology to leverage the most robust signals from the L1 band, ensuring enhanced position accuracy in challenging urban and weak signal environments.
u-blox modules are manufactured in IATF 16949-certified facilities and undergo comprehensive system-level testing. Qualification tests are conducted in accordance with the ISO 16750 standard, "Road vehicles – Environmental conditions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment
