ZOE-M8G and ZOE-M8Q are latest, highly integrated System in Package (SiP) GNSS solutions based on the high performing u-blox M8 concurrent positioning engine. The new, record breaking ultra miniature form factor integrates a complete GNSS SiP, including SAW filter, LNA and TCXO.
ZOE-M8 SiPs are targeted for applications that require a small size without compromising performance. For RF optimization, the ZOE-M8 SiPs integrate a front-end SAW filter and an additional front-end LNA for increased jamming immunity and easier antenna integration. A passive antenna can be used to provide a highly integrated system solution with minimal eBOM. Incorporating ZOE-M8 into customer designs is simple and straightforward thanks to the fully integrated design, single voltage supply (ZOE-M8G 1.8 V, ZOE-M8Q 3 V), low power consumption, simple interface, and sophisticated interference suppression that ensure maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments.
With its dual-frequency RF front-end, the ZOE-M8 SiPs are able to utilize concurrent reception of up to 3 GNSS systems (GPS/Galileo together with either BeiDou or GLONASS). In addition, the ZOE-M8 SiPs provide an SQI interface for optional external flash, allowing future firmware upgrades and improved A-GNSS performance.
Thanks to advanced algorithms and a complete GNSS solution, ZOE-M8 SiPs meet even the most stringent requirements in versatile industrial and consumer applications, such as UAVs, vehicles and assets tracking. The ZOE-M8 series also supports message integrity protection, anti-jamming, and anti-spoofing, providing reliable positioning in difficult environmental conditions as well as in security attack scenarios.
The ZOE-M8 S-LGA (Soldered Land Grid Array) packaging technology is easily integrated in manufacturing, which enables easier and more reliable soldering processes compared to a standard LGA package.
The ZOE-M8 SiPs are fully tested and qualified according to the JESD47 / ISO 16750 standard.
