1 Functional description
1.1 Overview
The MAX-M10S module features the u-blox M10 standard precision GNSS platform and provides
exceptional sensitivity and acquisition time for all L1 GNSS signals.
MAX-M10S supports concurrent reception of four GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou). The
high number of visible satellites enables the receiver to select the best signals. This maximizes the
position availability, in particular under challenging conditions such as in deep urban canyons. u-blox
Super-S (Super-Signal) technology offers great RF sensitivity and can improve the dynamic position
accuracy with small antennas or in non-line-of-sight scenarios.
The extremely low power consumption of 25 mW in continuous tracking mode allows great power
autonomy for all battery-operated devices, such as asset trackers, without compromising on GNSS
performance.
For maximum sensitivity in passive antenna designs, MAX-M10S integrates an LNA followed by a
SAW filter in the RF path.
MAX-M10S offers backwards pin-to-pin compatibility with products from the previous u-blox
generations, which saves the designer's effort and reduces costs when upgrading designs to the
advanced low-power u-blox M10 GNSS technology.

The limiting values given are in accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System
(IEC 134). Stress above one or more of the limiting values may cause permanent damage
to the device. These are stress ratings only. Operation of the device at these or at any other
conditions above those given below is not implied. Exposure to limiting values for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
Where application information is given, it is advisory only and does not form part of the

The product is not protected against overvoltage or reversed voltages. Voltage spikes
exceeding the power supply voltage specification, given in the table above, must be limited
to values within the specified boundaries by using appropriate protection diodes.
4.2 Operating conditions
Table 12 shows the general operating conditions. Table 13 shows the electrical parameters for
digital I/O.
The V_IO voltage range is selected with the VIO_SEL pin.
For designs with 1.8 V supply at V_IO, switch off V_IO supply 100 ms before VCC when
transitioning to hardware backup mode. Alternatively, send a UBX-RXM-PMREQ message
before switching off V_IO and VCC.
16
Exceeding the voltage ramp speed may permanently damage the device.

The SAFEBOOT_N pin has an internal 1 kΩ series resistor.

These values are provided for customer information only, as an example of typical current
requirements. They are characterized on samples using a cold start command. Actual power
requirements can vary depending on firmware version used, external circuitry, number of
satellites tracked, signal strength, type and time of start, duration, internal LNA gain mode,
and test conditions.
The inrush current at startup can go up to 100 mA. Ensure that the external power supply is

The receiver allows communication over UART and I2C27 interfaces.
All the inputs have internal pull-up resistors in normal operation and can be left open if not used.
All the PIOs are supplied by V_IO, therefore all the voltage levels of the PIO pins are related to V_IO
supply voltage.

Table 17: UART specifications
5.2 I2C
An I2C interface is available for communication with an external host CPU. The interface is
compatible with the Fast-mode of the I2C industry standard, allowing a maximum bit rate of 400
kbit/s28.
The interface stretches the clock when slowed down while serving interrupts, therefore the
real bit rates may be slightly lower. The maximum clock stretching time that the host can
expect is 20 ms.

External pull-up resistors may be needed to achieve 400 kbit/s communication speed, as the internal pull-up resistance
can be very large.
In the default configuration, the NMEA-GSV messages are sent at 5-second intervals to avoid overflow in the TX buffer.

8 Product handling
8.1 Moisture sensitivity level
The moisture sensitivity level (MSL) relates to the packaging and handling precautions required.
MAX-M10S LCC (professional grade) package is rated at MSL level 4. For MSL standard, see IPC/
JEDEC J-STD-020 [3].

9 Labeling and ordering information
This section provides information about product labeling and ordering.
9.1 Product labeling
The labeling of the MAX-M10S package provides product information and revision information. For
more information contact u-blox sales.

9.2 Explanation of product codes
Three product code formats are used. The product name is used in documentation such as this data
sheet and identifies all u-blox products, independent of packaging and quality grade. The ordering
code includes options and quality, while the type number includes the hardware and firmware
versions.
Table 19 details these three different formats for the MAX-M10S module.
