NEO-5D - u-blox 5 ROM-Based GPS Module

The NEO-5D is the world's first 1.8 Volt GPS module. It is a highly cost-effective stand-alone GPS receiver module, which offers numerous connectivity options in a miniature 16 x 12.2 x 2.4 mm package. The module's compact architecture and its very low power consumption makes it ideal for battery operated mobile devices with very strict cost and space constraints.

The NEO-5D features u-blox' SuperSense® Indoor GPS technology that offers unmatched tracking performance in harsh signal environments such as parking lots and dense urban environments.

The module's architecture further ensures costs are kept at a minimum by using a crystal instead of a TCXO and replacing costly Flash EPROM with an internal Read-Only Memory (ROM) in the GPS baseband chip.

Powered by the 50-channel u-blox 5 positioning engine, the module boasts a Time-To-First-Fix of under 1 second. The dedicated acquisition engine, with over 1 million correlators, is capable of massive parallel time/frequency space searches, enabling it to find satellites instantly. Innovative design and technology suppresses jamming sources and mitigates multipath effects, giving u-blox 5 GPS receivers excellent navigation performance even in the most challenging environments.
