shows the location of the GNSS antenna. An I2C connection between SARA-R5 and
MAX-M10 provides direct communication between the two modules without involving NORA.

GNSS receive path
MAX-M10 is connected to the receive antenna through one of two paths
–
a straight-connection or
through a SAW/LNA/SAW combination. The RF path is selected through jumper NO6.

MAX-M10 power supply and current measurement
MAX-M10 operates at 3 VDC. The main
3V3
power supply is connected to an LDO to provide this
voltage. The enable input of the LDO is used to switch power to MAX-M10 with control signals from
NORA-B1 or SARA-M510. The RAM and RTC can be maintained by enabling the
V_BCKP
power rail.
