UBLOX MAX-M8C GPS Breakout Module with chip antenna

The MAX-8 family offers all the benefits of the u-blox 8 GPS platform in a more compact form factor than ever before: intelligent power management with high sensitivity.

• Comes in an ultra-compact, easy-to-mount 9.7 x 10.1 mm LCC package

• Supports temperatures up to 40°C

• UART interface

• RTC crystal for faster hot-starts

• Suitable for HAB use Maximum altitude of 50,000 meters

• Supply voltage 1.8 to 3.6 V

IMPORTANT: This module has no on-board voltage regulation, so a clean and regulated 1.8 to 3.6 V supply is required. If you want to connect it to your microcontroller, you must make sure that it operates between 1.8 and 3.6 V on the serial/I2C port, otherwise you risk damaging this module. The Arduinos/PC Serial usually operate at 5V, so you will need a voltage converter.

There is no provision for a battery backup (V_BCKUP is closely related to VCC).
