The MAX-6 family delivers all the benefits of
the u-blox 6 GPS platform in a more compact form factor than ever
before: high-sensitivity, intelligent power management and seamless
operation with u-blox' 2G and 3G wireless module families LEON and LISA. MAX comes in an ultra-compact,
easy-to-mount 9.7 x 10.1 mm LCC package, and supports industrial
temperature range.
"Our customers are demanding smaller footprints, and lower power
requirements for GPS positioning, as well as embedded wireless
connectivity", said Herbert Blaser, VP Business Marketing at
u-blox, "MAX has been designed as the perfect positioning partner
for our LEON and LISA wireless modems, enabling the design of
robust, ultra-small tracking devices that can be mounted in harsh,
covert environments."
MAX integrates either a cost-effective standard crystal or TCXO
for high performance applications down to 1.8 V.
MAX-6 modules are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites.
Qualification tests on MAX-6 modules are performed as stipulated in
the ISO16750 standard: "Road vehicles - Environmental conditions
and testing for electrical and electronic equipment".
Customer samples will be available from June 2011
with mass production to follow soon after.
