Technology: Low power consumption

u-blox 5 hardware and software has been carefully optimized to keep power needs as low as possible, so as to enable the integration of high-performance positioning technology and services into battery-operated portable devices such as PDAs, personal navigation devices, cameras, cell phones or media players, for instance. Power consumption: 64 mW Backup power: 1.3V - 4.8V, 25 µA Flexible power supply options for a wide range of end applications: - Single voltage supply: 1.8V or 2.5-3.6V - Dual voltage supply: 1.3V and 1.8V Our receivers also have built-in features such as the Autonomous Power Management function that minimizes power needs at any given time, gearing the CPU clock down every time full CPU operation is not necessary. Other user-configurable power saving functions bring currents down even further.

u-blox 5 is ideal for portable devices
