Figure 31: Schematic of open circuit detection variant B (for exact pin orientation see data sheet)
The open circuit supervisor circuitry shown in Figure 31 has a quiescent current of approximately 2mA.
This current can be reduced with an advanced circuitry such as shown in Figure 30.

Status reporting
At startup and on every change of the antenna supervisor configuration the u-blox 6 GPS/GALILEO module will
output a NMEA ($GPTXT) or UBX (INF-NOTICE) message with the internal status of the antenna supervisor
(disabled, short detection only, enabled).
None, one or several of the strings below are part of this message to inform about the status of the active
antenna supervisor circuitry (e.g. “ANTSUPERV= AC SD OD PdoS”).
