UBX-G7020 - Hardware Integration Manual
Design-in
GPS.G7-HW-10003 Objective Specification Page 18 of 74
At initial start up in production, the UBX-G7020 will not have information about the supply voltage or oscillator
settings required and hence may not be able to start up without this information. Hence an initial power-up
requires starting in Safe Boot Mode in which the receiver runs from an internal ring oscillator. Then the Low
Level Configuration can be set in the eFuse or in the SQI flash. See section 2.2.6 and section 2.10.2.
Make sure the SAFEBOOT_N pin (PIO12) is made available to enter the Safe Boot Mode, a pre-requisite
to program the flash and preset the Low Level Configuration in production.
2.2.2 Configuration pins
If no SQI flash is connected, there is a configuration enabling pin (PIO5) which activates 5 configuration pins
PIO0 to PIO4. These pins allow setting some essential oscillator and power supply (DCDC converter)
configurations.
PIO5 connected to GND will enable configuration pins at PIO0 to PIO4!
PIO0 is reserved and must be left open when no SQI Flash is employed.
All the configuration pins have internal pull-ups. Any left open equates to a logical “1”.
Configuration pins disabled
The configuration done by PIO0 to PIO4 is ignored.

LDO_X_OUT supplies and enables the 3V TCXO.
LDO_X_OUT supplies and enables the 1.8V TCXO.
LDO_X_OUT used to enable the 3V TCXO; TCXO supplied directly by
same voltage as used to supply VDD_IO.
LDO_X_OUT used to enable the 1.8V TCXO; TCXO supplied directly
by same voltage as used to supply VDD_IO.

PIO0 is reserved for further use. Leave it open.
