1 Hardware description
1.1 Overview
The LEA-6 and NEO-6 modules are standalone GPS receivers featuring the high performance u-blox-6 positioning
engine. These compact, easy to integrate modules combine exceptional GPS performance with highly flexible
power, design, and connectivity options. Their compact form factors and SMT pads allow fully automated
assembly with standard pick & place and reflow-soldering equipment for cost-efficient, high-volume production
enabling short time-to-market.
u-blox GPS modules are not designed for life saving or supporting devices or for aviation and should not be used
in products that could in any way negatively impact the security or health of the user or third parties or that
could cause damage to goods.
1.2 Architecture
LEA-6 and NEO-6 modules consist of two functional parts - the RF and the Baseband sections. See Figure 1 and
Figure 2 for block diagrams of the modules.
The RF Front-End includes the input matching elements, the SAW bandpass filter, the u-blox 6 RF-IC (with
integrated LNA) and the frequency source.
The Baseband section contains the u-blox 6 Baseband processor, the RTC crystal and additional elements such as
the optional FLASH Memory for enhanced programmability and flexibility.
