CAM-M8 - Data Sheet
1 Functional description
1.1 Overview
The u-blox concurrent CAM-M8 series GNSS antenna modules benefit from the exceptional
performance of the u-blox M8 multi-GNSS (GPS/QZSS, GLONASS, GALILEO and BeiDou) engine in
an industry proven form factor. The CAM-M8 modules offer high sensitivity and strong signal levels
in an ultra-compact form factor.
The CAM-M8 series modules utilize concurrent reception of up to three GNSS systems (GPS/Galileo
together with BeiDou or GLONASS), recognize multiple constellations simultaneously, and provide
outstanding positioning accuracy in scenarios where urban canyon or weak signals are involved. For
even better and faster positioning improvement, the CAM-M8 series supports augmentation of
QZSS, GAGAN and IMES together with WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS. The CAM-M8 series also
supports message integrity protection, geofencing, and spoofing detection with configurable
interface settings to easily fit to customer applications.
Incorporating the CAM-M8 modules into customer designs is simple and straightforward, thanks to
the embedded GNSS chip antenna, a small footprint of 9.6 x 14.0 x 1.95 mm, and sophisticated
interference suppression that ensures maximum performance even in GNSS-hostile environments.
The low power consumption, and thin design allow end devices to be slimmer and smaller.
Despite the miniature size, the GNSS chip antenna in the CAM-M8 series performs extremely well
compared to traditional patch antennas. The omni-directional radiation pattern increases flexibility
for device installation. Optionally, CAM-M8 modules can be connected to an external GNSS antenna.
The SMD design keeps manufacturing costs to a minimum and the small mass ensures high
reliability.
☞
Because the customer PCB is part of the antenna solution, some PCB layout design rules should
be followed in order to maintain optimal performance of the on-board GNSS chip antenna. For
more information, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
The CAM-M8 series modules target industrial and consumer applications that require concurrent
GPS/Galileo and GLONASS or GPS/Galileo and BeiDou reception. The CAM-M8C is optimized for cost
sensitive applications and has the lowest power consumption, while the CAM-M8Q provides best
performance. The CAM-M8 series is form-factor compatible to UC530 and UC530M modules,
allowing the upgrade of existing designs with minimal effort.
The CAM-M8 series modules use GNSS chips qualified according to AEC-Q100, are manufactured in
ISO/TS 16949 certified sites, and fully tested on a system level. Qualification tests are performed as
stipulated in the ISO 16750 standard: “Road vehicles – Environmental conditions and testing for
electrical and electronic equipment”.

1.5 Supported GNSS constellations
The CAM-M8 series GNSS modules are concurrent GNSS receivers which can receive and track
multiple GNSS systems: GPS, Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou. Owing to the dual-frequency RF front-
end architecture, either GLONASS or BeiDou can be processed concurrently with GPS and Galileo
signals providing reception of three GNSS systems. By default the M8 receivers are configured for
concurrent GPS and GLONASS, including SBAS and QZSS reception. If power consumption is a key
factor, then the receiver should be configured for a single GNSS operation using GPS, Galileo,
GLONASS or BeiDou and disabling QZSS and SBAS. The module can be configured to receive any
single GNSS constellation or within the set of permissible combinations shown below.

☞
☞
The augmentation systems: SBAS and QZSS can be enabled only if GPS operation is configured.
Galileo is not enabled as the default configuration.
1.5.1 GPS
The u-blox CAM-M8 series positioning modules are designed to receive and track the L1C/A signals
provided at 1575.42 MHz by the Global Positioning System (GPS).
1.5.2 GLONASS
The CAM-M8 modules can receive and process GLONASS concurrently with GPS or BeiDou. The
Russian GLONASS satellite system is an alternative system to the US-based Global Positioning
System (GPS). u-blox CAM-M8 positioning modules are designed to receive and track the L1OF
signals GLONASS provided at 1602 MHz + k*562.5 kHz, where k is the satellite’s frequency channel
number (k = –7,..., 5, 6). The ability to receive and track GLONASS L1OF satellite signals allows design
of GLONASS receivers where required by regulations.
In order to take advantage of GPS and GLONASS, dedicated hardware preparation must be taken
during the design-in phase, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1] for u-blox design
recommendations.
1.5.3 BeiDou
The CAM-M8 series positioning modules can receive and process the B1I signals broadcast at
1561.098 MHz from the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. The ability to receive and track BeiDou
signals in conjunction with another constellation results in higher coverage, improved reliability and
better accuracy. Currently, BeiDou is not fully operational globally and provides Chinese regional
coverage only. Global coverage is scheduled for 2020.

Production Information
Page 8 of 31
CAM-M8 - Data Sheet
1.5.4 Galileo
The CAM-M8 series positioning modules can receive and track the E1-B/C signals centered on the
GPS L1 frequency band. GPS and Galileo signals can be processed concurrently together with either
BeiDou or GLONASS signals, enhancing coverage, reliability and accuracy. The SAR return link
message (RLM) parameters for both short and long versions are decoded by the receiver and made
available to users via UBX proprietary messages.
☞
Galileo has been implemented according to ICD release 1.2 (November 2015) and verified with
live signals from the Galileo in-orbit validation campaign. Since the Galileo satellite system has
not yet reached Initial (IOC) nor Full Operational Capability (FOC), changes to the Galileo signal
specification (OS SIS ICD) remain theoretically possible. u-blox therefore recommends to use
Flash based modules in designs utilizing Galileo signals in order to allow for a FW update in the
unlikely event of a change to the Galileo signal specification (OS SIS ICD).
☞
Galileo reception is by default disabled, but can be enabled by sending a configuration message
(UBX-CFG-GNSS) to the receiver. See the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver Description Including
Protocol Specification [2] for more information.
1.6 Assisted GNSS (A-GNSS)
Supply of aiding information, such as ephemeris, almanac, rough last position and time, will reduce
the time to first fix significantly and improve the acquisition sensitivity. The u-blox CAM-M8 series
receivers support the u-blox AssistNow Online and AssistNow Offline A-GNSS services, support
AssistNow Autonomous, and are OMA SUPL compliant.
1.6.1 AssistNow™ Online
With AssistNow Online, an internet-connected GNSS device downloads assistance data from u-
blox’s AssistNow Online Service at system start-up. AssistNow Online is network operator
independent and globally available.
u-blox only sends ephemeris data for those satellites currently visible to the device requesting the
data, thus minimizing the amount of data transferred.
Supply of aiding information, such as ephemeris, almanac, rough last position and time, will reduce
the time to first fix significantly and improve the acquisition sensitivity.
☞
The AssistNow Online service provides data for GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo and QZSS
1.6.2 AssistNow™ Offline
With AssistNow Offline, users download u-blox’s long-term orbit data from the Internet at their
convenience. The orbit data must be stored in the memory of application processor. Therefore, the
service requires no connectivity at system start-up and enables a position fix within seconds, even
when no network is available. AssistNow Offline data offers augmentation for up to 35 days.
☞
AssistNow Offline service provides data for GPS and GLONASS only, BeiDou and Galileo are not
currently supported
1.6.3 AssistNow™ Autonomous
AssistNow Autonomous provides aiding information without the need for a host or external network
connection. Based on previous broadcast satellite ephemeris data downloaded to and stored by the
UBX-15031574 - R04
Production Information
Page 9 of 31
CAM-M8 - Data Sheet
GNSS receiver, AssistNow Autonomous automatically generates accurate predictions of satellite
orbital data (“AssistNow Autonomous data”) that is usable for future GNSS position fixes. The
concept capitalizes on the periodic nature of GNSS satellites; by capturing strategic ephemeris data
at specific times of the day.
u-blox’s AssistNow Autonomous benefits are:
•
•
•
Faster fix in situations where GNSS satellite signals are weak
No connectivity required
Compatible with AssistNow Online (can work stand-alone, or in tandem with the AssistNow
Online service)
•
No integration effort, calculations are done in the background, transparent to the user.
☞
The u-blox ROM-based CAM-M8Q/C receiver can use AssistNow Autonomous to calculate GPS
only orbit predictions for 3 days.
☞
For more details on A-GNSS see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver Description Including Protocol
Specification [2].
1.7 Augmentation systems
1.7.1 Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS)
The u-blox CAM-M8 series positioning modules support SBAS. These systems supplement GPS data
with additional regional or wide area GPS augmentation data. The system broadcasts augmentation
data via satellite and this information can be used by GNSS receivers to improve the resulting
precision. SBAS satellites can be used as additional satellites for ranging (navigation), further
enhancing precision and availability. The following SBAS types are supported with CAM-M8
modules: GAGAN, WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS.
☞
For more details, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver Description Including Protocol
Specification [2].
1.7.2 QZSS
The Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS) is a regional navigation satellite system that transmits
additional GPS L1 C/A signals for the Pacific region covering Japan and Australia. CAM-M8Q/C
positioning modules are able to receive and track these signals concurrently with GPS signals,
resulting in better availability especially under challenging signal conditions, e.g. in urban canyons.
The L1- SAIF signal provided by QZSS can be enabled for reception via a GNSS configuration
message.
1.7.3 IMES
The Japanese Indoor MEssaging System (IMES) system is used for indoor position reporting using
low-power transmitters which broadcast a GPS–like signal. CAM-M8Q/C modules can be configured
to receive and demodulate the signal to provide an in-door location estimate.
☞
This service is authorized and available only in Japan.
IMES reception is disabled by default

1.7.4 Differential GPS (D-GPS)
The u-blox CAM-M8 series receivers support differential GPS data according to RTCM 10402.3 [4].
The use of differential GPS data improves GPS position accuracy. The RTCM implementation
supports the following RTCM 2.3 messages:

☞
RTCM corrections cannot be used together with SBAS.
☞
For more details, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver Description Including Protocol
Specification [2].
1.8 Broadcast navigation data and satellite signal
measurements
The CAM-M8 series modules can output all the GNSS broadcast data upon reception from tracked
satellites. This includes all the supported GNSS signals plus the augmentation services SBAS, QZSS
and IMES. The receiver also makes available the tracked satellite signal information, i.e. raw code
phase and Doppler measurements in a form aligned to the ETSI mobile cellular location services
protocol (RRLP) [6]. For more details, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver Description Including
Protocol Specification [2].
1.9 Odometer
The odometer provides information on travelled ground distance (in meters) using solely the position
and Doppler-based velocity of the navigation solution. For each computed travelled distance since
the last odometer reset, the odometer estimates a 1-sigma accuracy value. The total cumulative
ground distance is maintained and saved in the BBR memory.
☞
The odometer feature is disabled by default. For more details, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8
Receiver Description Including Protocol Specification [2].
1.10 Geofencing
The CAM-M8 series modules support up to four circular Geofencing areas defined on the Earth’s
surface using a 2D model. Geofencing is active when at least one Geo-fence is defined, the current
status can be found by polling the receiver. A GPIO pin can be nominated to indicate status to e.g.
wake up a host on activation.
1.11 Message Integrity Protection
The CAM-M8 modules provide a function to detect third party interference with the UBX message
steam sent from receiver to host. The security mechanism “signs” nominated messages via a
subsequent UBX message. This message signature is then compared with one generated by the host
to determine if the message data has been altered. The signature algorithm seed can use one fixed
UBX-15031574 - R04
Production Information
Page 11 of 31
CAM-M8 - Data Sheet
secret ID key set by eFuse in production and a dynamic ID key set by the host, enabling users to
detect “man-in-the-middle” style attacks.
1.12 Spoofing detection
Spoofing is a process whereby a malicious third party tries to control the reported position via a
“fake” GNSS broadcast signal. This may result in the form of reporting incorrect position, velocity or
time. To combat against this, CAM-M8 series modules include spoofing detection measures to alert
the host when signals appear to be suspicious. The receiver combines a number of checks on the
received signals looking for inconsistencies across several parameters.
☞
This feature does not guarantee to detect all spoofing attacks.
1.13 EXTINT: External interrupt
EXTINT is an external interrupt pin with fixed input voltage thresholds with respect to VCC_IO. It can
be used for Control of the receiver or for Aiding.
For more information about how to implement and configure these features, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox
M8 Receiver Description Including Protocol Specification [2] and the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration
Manual [1].
1.13.1 Pin control
The pin control feature allows overriding the automatic active/inactive cycle of Power Save Mode.
The state of the receiver can be controlled through the EXTINT pin.
The receiver can also be forced OFF using EXTINT when Power Save Mode is not active.
1.13.2 Aiding
The EXTINT pin can be used to supply time or frequency aiding data to the receiver.
For time aiding, hardware time synchronization can be achieved by connecting an accurate time
pulse to the EXTINT pin.
Frequency aiding can be implemented by connecting a periodic rectangular signal with a frequency
up to 500 kHz and arbitrary duty cycle (low/high phase duration must not be shorter than 50 ns) to
the EXTINT pin. Provide the applied frequency value to the receiver using UBX messages.
1.14 TIMEPULSE
A configurable time pulse signal is available with CAM-M8 series modules.
The TIMEPULSE output generates pulse trains synchronized with GPS or UTC time grid with
intervals configurable over a wide frequency range. Thus it may be used as a low frequency time
synchronization pulse or as a high frequency reference signal.
By default the time pulse signal is configured to 1 pulse per second. For more information, see the
u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver Description Including Protocol Specification [2].

A number of interfaces are provided for data communication. The embedded firmware uses these
interfaces according to their respective protocol specifications.
1.16.1 UART
The CAM-M8 series modules support 1 UART interfaces, which can be used for communication to a
host. It supports configurable baud rates. For supported baud rates, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8
Receiver Description Including Protocol Specification [2].
☞
Designs must allow access to the UART and the SAFEBOOT_N function pin for future service,
updates and reconfiguration.
1.16.2 SPI
The SPI interface is designed to allow communication to a host CPU. The interface can be operated
in slave mode only. The maximum transfer rate using SPI is 125 kB/s and the maximum SPI clock
frequency is 5.5 MHz.
☞
SPI is not available in the default configuration, because its pins are shared with the UART and
DDC interfaces. The SPI interface can be enabled by connecting D_SEL (pin 20) to ground (see
section 3.1).
1.16.3 Display Data Channel (DDC)
An I2C compliant DDC interface is available for communication with an external host CPU or u-blox
cellular modules. The interface can be operated in slave mode only. The DDC protocol and electrical
interface are fully compatible with the Fast-Mode of the I2C industry standard. Since the maximum
SCL clock frequency is 400 kHz, the maximum transfer rate is 400 kb/s.
☞
The maximum bit rate is 400 kb/s. The interface stretches the clock when slowed down while
serving interrupts, so real bit rates may be slightly lower.

1.17 Clock generation
1.17.1 Oscillators
The CAM-M8Q concurrent GNSS module uses a TCXO oscillator. The TCXO option allows accelerated
weak signal acquisition, enabling faster start and reacquisition times.
The CAM-M8C concurrent GNSS module uses a crystal-based oscillator. This makes the CAM-M8C
a more cost efficient solution.
Oscillators used on CAM-M8 series modules are carefully selected and screened for stability and
against frequency perturbations across the full operating range (–40 °C to +85 °C).
The careful selection and qualification of critical parts, such as GNSS oscillators, has resulted in
u-blox modules being the most reliable positioning modules in the industry, particularly in
challenging conditions
1.17.2 Real-Time Clock (RTC)
In the CAM-M8Q the RTC is driven by a 32 kHz oscillator, which makes use of an external RTC crystal.
If the main supply voltage fails and a battery is connected to V_BCKP, parts of the receiver switch
off, but the RTC still runs providing a timing reference for the receiver. This operating mode is called
Hardware Backup Mode, which enables all relevant data to be saved in the backup RAM to allow a hot
or warm start later.
The CAM-M8C has no integrated RTC crystal. The CAM-M8C can operate in single crystal mode,
where the 26 MHz crystal oscillator can be used to provide frequency reference to the RTC without
using an additional RTC crystal in Hardware Backup Mode. This makes the CAM-M8C a more cost
efficient solution at the expense of a higher backup current.
The current time is maintained in the RTC and ephemeris and other last known data is kept in the
backup RAM. In A-GNSS based systems, the RTC is not required when coarse or fine time
information is available from the network.
☞
More information, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
1.18 Power management
The u-blox M8 technology offers a power optimized architecture with built-in autonomous power
saving functions to minimize power consumption at any given time. Furthermore, the receiver can
be used in two operating modes: Continuous mode for best performance or Power Save Mode for
optimized power consumption respectively.
1.18.1 DC-DC converter
The CAM-M8 module integrates a DC-DC converter, allowing reduced power consumption especially
when using a main supply voltage above 2.5 V.
☞
For more information, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].

1.18.2 Power Mode Setup
u-blox M8 modules can be configured to run in either continuous or a choice of Power Save mode
configurations. A template of power mode settings can be used to easily select typical power mode
setups to cover the majority of users’ requirements.
For specific power saving applications the user has the option to fully configure via the power save
mode configuration. For more information, see section 1.18.2.2.
The u-blox M8 modules’ power mode setup offers a choice of continuous operation and preset Power
Save Mode Configurations.
•
•
•
•
•
Continuous (default) mode for best GNSS performance vs power consumption
Continuous with no compromise in power consumption
A 1 Hz cyclic tracking mode for aggressive power reduction
Choice of 2 or 4 Hz 9 cyclic tracking modes for typical wearable applications
ON/OFF interval mode
1.18.2.1 Continuous Mode
Continuous Mode uses the acquisition engine at full performance resulting in the shortest possible
TTFF and the highest sensitivity. It searches for all possible satellites until the almanac is completely
downloaded. The receiver then switches to the tracking engine to lower power consumption.
Thus, a lower tracking current consumption level will be achieved when:
•
•
•
A valid GNSS position is obtained
The entire almanac has been downloaded
The ephemeris for each satellite in view is valid
1.18.2.2 Power Save Mode
For specific power saving applications outside the typical preset power mode setups, users can
configure a tailored Power Save Mode.
Power Save Mode provides two dedicated methods, ON/OFF and Cyclic tracking, that reduce average
current consumption in different ways to match the needs of the specific application. These
operations can be set by using a specific UBX message.

1.19 Antenna
The CAM-M8 concurrent GNSS modules are designed with integrated GNSS chip antenna.
Optionally, the CAM-M8 series modules can be connected to an external GNSS antenna.
☞
Because the customer PCB is used as a part of antenna, some important PCB layout design rules
should be followed in order to maintain good performance of the on-board GNSS chip antenna.
For more information, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
1.19.1 Embedded antenna
The CAM-M8 series modules have an embedded GNSS antenna and the signal is further filtered and
amplified by internal Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), which is available at the RF_OUT output. The
antenna signal RF_OUT shall be connected externally to RF_IN Antenna Input signal via a short trace
between pads. For more information, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
1.19.2 External GPS/GLONASS antenna connectivity
The customer may use an external active GNSS antenna connected via an external RF-switch. It is
suggested that the active antenna has a net gain including cable loss in the range from +10 dB to
+30 dB. Specified sensitivity is measured with an external low noise (NF < 1dB, G > 15dB) amplifier.
The antenna shall provide simultaneous reception of both GPS 1575 MHz and GLONASS bands 1598
to 1606 MHz.
☞
External passive antenna is not recommended. For more information concerning external
antenna option, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
1.19.3 Active antenna control (LNA_EN)
The LNA_EN Pin can be used to turn on and off an external LNA or an active antenna. This reduces
power consumption in Power Save Mode (Backup mode).
☞
When LNA_EN Pin is used externally, an external pull down resistor should be connected at
LNA_EN signal. For more information, see the CAM-M8 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
1.19.4 Embedded antenna operation
The embedded GNSS chip antenna provides optimal radiation efficiency 80% typ. with 80x40 mm
ground plane. The GNSS chip antenna provides linear polarization with peak gain 1.1 dBi and
radiation pattern optimized for portable devices. The chip antenna is insensitive to surroundings and
has high tolerance against frequency shifts. Figure 2 shows the typical free space radiation patterns
of the embedded GNSS chip antenna at 1575 GHz. However, on small ground plane widths, the
antenna gain and radiation efficiency is reduced.

3 Configuration management
Configuration settings can be modified with UBX configuration messages. The modified settings
remain effective until power-down or reset. If these settings have been stored in battery-backup
RAM, then the modified configuration will be retained, as long as the backup battery supply is not
interrupted.
☞
For more information about configuration management, see the u-blox 8 / u-blox M8 Receiver

3.1 Interface Selection (D_SEL)
At startup, pin 20 (D_SEL) determines which data interfaces are used for communication. If D_SEL
is set high or left open, UART and DDC become available. If D_SEL is set low, i.e. connected to ground,
the CAM-M8Q/C modules can communicate to a host via SPI.

7.4.1 Moisture Sensitivity Levels
The Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) relates to the packaging and handling precautions required.
CAM-M8Q/C modules are rated at MSL level 4.

For more information regarding MSL, see the u-blox Package Information Guide [3].
☞
7.4.2 Reflow soldering
Reflow profiles are to be selected according to u-blox recommendations (see the CAM-M8 Hardware
Integration Manual [1]).
7.4.3 Antenna ageing
Antenna electrode metallization is unprotected silver and will tarnish during storage due to sulfuric
compounds present in the atmosphere. Elevated temperature and humidity will accelerate this
process. Human skin contact, wool etc. will also cause tarnishing. This has no effect on the electrical
performance of the antenna. u-blox accepts no warranty claims for tarnished products due to this
normal and to be expected process.
7.4.4 ESD handling precautions
⚠
CAM-M8Q/C modules are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD). Observe handling precautions!
Failure to observe these precautions can result in severe damage to the GNSS receiver!
GNSS receivers are Electrostatic Sensitive Devices (ESD) and require special precautions when
handling. Exercise care when handling patch antennas, due to the risk of electrostatic charges. In
addition to standard ESD safety practices, take the following measures into account whenever
handling the receiver:
•
Unless there is a galvanic coupling between the local GND (i.e.
the work table) and the PCB GND, then the first point of
contact when handling the PCB must always be between the
local GND and PCB GND.
•
•
Before mounting an antenna patch, connect ground of the
device
When handling the RF pin, do not come into contact with any
charged capacitors and be careful when contacting materials
that can develop charges (e.g. patch antenna ~10 pF, coax
cable ~50-80 pF/m, soldering iron, …)
•
•
To prevent electrostatic discharge through the RF input, do
not touch any exposed antenna area. If there is any risk that
such exposed antenna area is touched in non ESD protected
work area, implement proper ESD protection measures in the
design.
When soldering RF connectors and patch antennas to the
receiver’s RF pin, make sure to use an ESD safe soldering iron
(tip).
