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.
