NEO-6T-0

RF Receivers Overview

The u-blox NEO-6T-0 is a GPS receiver module designed for precise timing applications. It features a TimePulse output configurable from 0 Hz to 10 MHz, enabling time synchronization and pulse-per-second generation. The module supports the GPS protocol and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It draws an operating supply current of 47 mA and utilizes SPI, UART, or USB interfaces. The component is housed in a 24-SMD package and has a sensitivity of -162 dBm.

RF Receivers Feature Summary

• Configurable TimePulse output for time synchronization
• Supports GPS protocol for positioning data
• Industrial-grade wide temperature operation

RF Receivers Applications

• Time synchronization systems
• Precision timing reference generation
• GPS-based navigation devices requiring accurate timestamps

RF Receivers Procurement Notes

Verify part status carefully as this model is listed as obsolete by major distributors. Confirm availability through authorized channels or secondary markets. Ensure compatibility with existing interface requirements (SPI/UART/USB) and voltage levels before procurement. Check for valid replacement options if new production units are required.

RF Receivers Selection Notes

Select this module when precise GPS-derived timing is critical rather than general positioning. Consider the -162 dBm sensitivity for weak signal environments. Verify that the host system can handle the TTL logic levels and 47 mA current draw. Evaluate the need for the specific TimePulse configuration capabilities offered by the NEO-6 series.

RF Receivers Part Context

The NEO-6T-0 belongs to the u-blox NEO-6 series, which focuses on GPS-only reception. Unlike the NEO-6M variant used in general navigation, the NEO-6T variant emphasizes timing accuracy through its dedicated TimePulse output. This series represents a mature technology platform established by u-blox for reliable standalone GPS solutions.

RF Receivers Replacement Considerations

The NEO-6T-0 is marked as obsolete. Potential replacements include newer u-blox modules with timing capabilities such as the ZED-F9P for high precision or other NEO-M8/M9 series variants if available, though direct pin-to-pin substitutes may not exist due to architectural updates.
