The UBX-M10150-CC from u-blox is a GNSS Chip that supports GPS and QZSS/SBAS, Galileo, and BeiDou constellations. It is designed for integration into wearable applications including sports, smartwatches, and other battery-powered devices with size constraints. This GNSS chip provides an optimal balance between power consumption and position accuracy. It uses LEAP technology that offers low energy accurate positioning with a power consumption of 10 mW and has a horizontal positioning accuracy of 1.5 m. This GNSS chip utilizes compact wearable antennas that assist the chip in adapting to different signal conditions, which results in power consumption reduction to at least 50% while maintaining an optimal positioning accuracy.
The UBX-M10150-CC includes proprietary multipath mitigation technology to leverage the most robust signals from the L1 band, thereby ensuring enhanced position accuracy in challenging urban and weak signal environments. . This chip supports built-in security features such as RF interference and spoofing detection and signed UBX messages to maintain the reliability of GNSS signals. It has regular firmware upgrades for enhanced functionality and can be controlled using UART, DDC, and SPI interfaces.
This GNSS chip has a tracking/navigation sensitivity of -159 dBm and a reacquisition sensitivity of -158 dBm. It has a cold start time of 28 s and a hot start time of 1 s. This chip requires a DC supply of 1-1.8 V. It is available in a wafer-level chip scale package that measures 2.39 x 2.39 mm.
