u-blox has upgraded its core CMOS technology to u-blox 6, boasting new intelligent power management features to extend battery life in power-critical GPS applications. The upgraded technology will be available in u-blox’ NEO, LEA and AMY module families. Developed with an intelligent interface to the LEON and LUCY families of compact GSM/UMTS voice and data modules, u-blox 6 GPS receiver chips and modules are well suited for telematics applications.
With the extension of the acquisition engine to over 2 million correlators, the new chip exhibits stronger acquisition capability of weak signals and a shorter time to first fix. In addition to GPS, u-blox 6 is future-proofed for the upcoming new European satellite system Galileo. The new platform also supports the company’s proprietary Yuma GPS software and service, an instantaneous and ultra low-power location capture solution based on u-blox’ ‘Capture & Process’ technology, which is optimised for battery-powered applications such as tracking and photo geotagging.
Existing u-blox customers will benefit from the pin-to-pin compatible products. Key application areas for u-blox 6 based products include ultra-low power GPS loggers, asset and fleet management, people and animal trackers, automotive GPS black boxes, personal navigation and recreational devices, as well as cameras and camera phones with geotagging capability. u-blox 6 ICs will be available in standard and automotive grade versions.
