Functional Ports

Interfaces

• RF Part
  GNSS signals received from the antenna via a coaxial cable are filtered and enhanced. The RF part converts the RF input signals into the IF signal, and then IF analog signals are converted into the digital signals required for NebulasII digital processing.

• NebulasII SoC (UC4C0)
  The UM482 incorporates the processing from the NebulasII (UC4C0), UNICORECOMM’s a new generation high precision GNSS SoC using 55nm low power design. It supports up to 12 digital intermediate frequencies or 8 analog intermediate frequency signals and can track 12 navigation signals with 432 channels.

• 1PPS
  UM482 outputs a 1 Pulse-per-second time strobe with a corresponding time and positioning tag. The pulse width/polarity is configurable.

• Event
  UM482 provides a 1 Event Mark Input with adjustable pulse width and polarity.

• Reset (RST_N)/Factory Default (FRESET_N)
  The reset signal RST_N should be set active low for no less than 20ms effective time.

When the FRESET_N is activated, the user parameters in NVM will be cleared and the module is restored to factory default settings. The FRESET_N is active low. Please pull FRESET_N pin to low for more than 5s to ensure a successful reset.

Hardware Design

Design in Considerations

• Supply stable power to the VCC pin. Connect all the GND pins to ground
• The module’s VCC should be monotonic when powered on, the initial level should be lower than 0.4V, and the undershoot and ringing should be guaranteed to be within 5% VCC
• ANT1 and ANT2 MMCX interfaces supply +3.3~5.5 V feed. Fifty (50) ohm impedance matching for ANT1 and ANT2 is strongly recommended
• Ensure COM1 is connected to the host. COM1 is required for firmware upgrades.
• Only connect the module’s reset pin FRESET_N to ensure complete reset of the module. It will restore the module to the manufacturing configuration.
• When ANT_NLOD, ANT_FFLG and antenna detection indication signal are connected, the IO of the client MCU terminal should be set as input and without any pull-up/down.

In order to obtain proper performance, special concerns should be paid during the design to the following:

• Power supply: A stable and low ripple power supply is necessary for good performance. Make sure the peak-to-peak voltage ripple does not exceed 50mVpp. It is recommended to use a power chip with current output capacity greater than 2A to power the board.
  • Use LDO to ensure the purity of the power supply
  • Try to place LDO close to the module in the layout
  • Widen the tracks of power circuit or use a copper pour surface to transmit current
  • Avoid walking through any high-power or high-inductance devices such as a magnetic coil
• Interfaces: Ensure that the signals and baud rate of the main equipment match those of the UM482 module
• Antenna interface: Make sure the antenna impedance matches and the cable is short without any kinks, try to avoid all acute angles
• Try to avoid designing in any circuits underneath UM482

This module is a temperature-sensitive device, so dramatic changes in temperature will result in reduced performance. Keep it away as far as possible from any high-power high-temperature air and heating devices

PCB Packaging

Reset Signal
If the user resets the module via the RST_N pin after power on, the pin should be used correctly in order for the UM482 module to perform normally. The RST_N and power supply must meet the following timing sequence requirement. The RST_N reset signal should last more than 5ms to be effective.

External Antenna Feed Design
UM482 feeds the antenna signals to the required circuits internally, but in order to effectively prevent damage from lightning and surges, circuit protection should be installed externally to protect the module. High voltage and high-power protection chips should be used to feed the antenna from the outside of the module. Gas discharge tube, varistor, TVS tube and other high- power protective devices may be used in the antenna circuit to effectively improve the prevention against lightning stroke and surge.

Remarks:

• L1 and L2, feed inductor, 68nH RF inductor in 0603 package is recommended
• C1 and C3, decoupling capacitor, it is recommended to connect two capacitors of 100nF/100pF in parallel;
• C2 and C4, DC blocking capacitor, recommended 100pF capacitor.

Installation and Configuration

ESD Handling Precautions
UM482 Module is an ESD-sensitive device and special precautions when handling are required.

• Electrostatic discharge may cause damages to the device. All operations mentioned in this chapter should be carried out on an antistatic workbench, wearing an antistatic wrist strap and using a conductive foam pad

Please refer to Figure 5- 1 Heading Schematic for the detailed schematic.

Frequently used commands are as follows:

MODE HEADING2
GPHDT2 ONCHANGED
SAVECONFIG

Antenna Detection

UM482 supports dual-antenna detection. The 2-bit detection signals are described below:

2-bit Detection Signals

If the ANT_PWR is not powered correctly or if the antenna is not fed by ANT_PWR, the detection results are invalid.

Firmware Upgrade

Upgrading UM482 may be done using UPrecise software:
Click “…” to browse the firmware update package, and click the “Start” button to start the firmware upgrading process (don’t select the “Reset” checkbox ):

In general, the upgrade time is within 5minutes.

Soldering Recommendation

Recommended thermal cycle curve is as follows:

• Temperature rising Stage
  • Rising slope: Max. 3℃/s
  • Rising temperature range： 50℃-150℃
• Preheating stage
  • Preheating time: 60 – 120 s
  • Preheating temperature range: 150 – 180℃
• Reflux Stage
  • Over soldering temperature (217℃) time: 40 – 60 s Peak temperature: no higher than 245℃
• Cooling Stage
  • Cooling Slope: Max. 4℃ / s

Notes:

• In order to prevent fall-off during the soldering of modules, please avoid soldering the module in the back of the Board during design, that is, better not to go through the soldering cycle twice
• The setting temperature depends on many factors – such as the type of Board, solder paste type, solder paste thickness, etc. Please also refer to the relevant IPC standards and indicators for solder paste.
• Since the lead-free soldering temperatures are relatively low, if using this soldering method, please give priority to other components on the Board.

Packaging

There are 150 pcs UM482 modules inside the package box.
