Intelligent power management is a break- through for low-power applications. These receivers combine a high level of integration capability with flexible connectivity options in a small package. This makes them perfectly suited for mass-market end products with strict size and cost re- quirements. The DDC interface provides connectivity and en- ables synergies with u-blox LEON and LISA wireless modules. All NEO-6 modules are based on GPS chips qualified accord- ing to AEC-Q100 and are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified sites. Qualification tests on NEO-6 modules are performed as stipulated in the ISO16750 standard: “Road vehicles – Environmental conditions and testing for electrical and electronic equipment”.
