u-blox 5's architecture is the product of a careful optimization of all components, producing a chip that features:
- Low system costs with minimum bill of material
- As few as 19 external components, mostly low-cost passives
- No Flash EPROM required
- Cost efficient system design: Suitable for PCBs with 2 layers
- Built-in LDO, LNA,and Brownout monitor

Tiny footprint
A cost-effective use of the board area enables a footprint of less than 100 mm2
Wide range of clock signals
- Built-in Fractional N Synthesizer supports a wide range of clock frequencies
- Supports externally available frequency sources (e.g. in mobile phones) to save components
