Hot Stock: EVA-M8Q-0

The EVA-M8Q-0 by u-blox is a compact, high-performance Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) module designed for reliable global positioning in space-constrained devices.

 

 

Part of the u-blox M8 series, the EVA-M8Q-0 offers concurrent reception of multiple GNSS systems. The integrated TCXO provides best-in-class accuracy, low power consumption, and rapid Time-To-First-Fix (TTFF). This makes the module an ideal choice for applications where space, power efficiency, and multi-constellation support are critical. Read on to discover the features and applications of the EVA-M8Q-0.

 

Key Features

Concurrent Multi-GNSS Reception

The EVA-M8Q-0 supports simultaneous tracking of up to three GNSS constellations, including GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, and BeiDou. This ensures improved accuracy, higher satellite availability, and better positioning performance for urban or obstructed environments.

 

Ultra-Compact Footprint

Measuring 7 x 7 x 1.1 mm, the module is perfect for size-restricted applications, like wearables, portable trackers, and drones, without compromising performance. The Land Grid Array (LGA) package also simplifies SMT assembly and promotes efficient PCB design.

 

Timing Precision

Featuring a built-in TCXO (Temperature-Compensated Crystal Oscillator), the EVA-M8Q-0 provides highly stable frequency reference across a wide temperature range.

 

Fast Acquisition and Recovery

The EVA-M8Q-0 achieves a hot start in as little as one second and an assisted start in two seconds, significantly reducing wait times during power-up or signal reacquisition. This speed is crucial for real-time systems that demand immediate location data.

 

Power-Efficient Operation

Equipped with an integrated DC-DC converter, the EVA-M8Q-0 reduces average power consumption by up to 50%. Its power-saving modes bring typical tracking currents down to as little as 6.2 mA in 1 Hz Power Save Mode.

 

Enhanced Sensitivity

With tracking sensitivity as low as –167 dBm, the module reliably acquires and maintains lock even in weak signal scenarios.

 

Flexible Connectivity

The EVA-M8Q-0 includes UART, SPI, USB, and I²C-compliant DDC interfaces, making it compatible with a broad range of microcontrollers and host systems. Interface selection via D_SEL pin ensures design flexibility and easy integration.

 

Security and Integrity Features

Equipped with spoofing detection, message integrity checks, and secure configuration options, the module adds an extra system of protection to ensure reliability in its applications.

 

Additional Capabilities
The EVA-M8Q-0 includes built-in support for geofencing, odometer tracking, data logging (with external SQI flash), and configurable time pulse output, offering system-level features without external components.

 

Applications

The EVA-M8Q-0 is purpose-built for compact, power-sensitive environments that require high-precision navigation, such as:

  • Wearable tech (fitness trackers, smartwatches)

  • Asset tracking systems

  • Drones and UAVs

  • Fleet management and logistics

  • Industrial IoT and automation

  • Personal navigation and emergency locators
