1 Functional Description
1.1 Overview
The LEA-5 module series by u-blox sets a new standard for GPS and GALILEO receiver modules. Featuring the
high performance 50-channel u-blox 5 technology, these modules provide excellent performance and flexibility
at an economical price. A 32-channel acquisition engine with over 1 million effective correlators is capable of
massive parallel searches. This enables a Time To First Fix (TTFF) of less than 1 second, while long
correlation/dwell times make possible the best-in-class acquisition and tracking sensitivity. An available
functionality is KickStart, a new feature enabling accelerated acquisition of weak signals. Once acquired,
satellites are passed on to a power-optimized dedicated tracking engine. This arrangement allows the GPS and
GALILEO engine to simultaneously track up to 16 satellites while searching for new ones. u-blox 5’s advanced
jamming suppression mechanism and innovative RF architecture provide a high level of immunity to jamming,
ensuring maximum GPS and GALILEO performance.
The LEA-5 series maintains the compact 17.0 x 22.4 mm form factor of the highly successful LEA-4 modules. The
modules have been designed with backwards compatibility in mind, enabling ease of upgrade and reducing
engineering and design costs. A USB port is available for faster data transmission and more flexibility. The
optional FLASH Memory provides capacity to store user-specific configuration settings and allows for future
updates. The LEA-5 series includes two cost optimized u-blox 5 LITE versions: the LEA-5Q and LEA-5M. These
modules are ideal solutions for applications where extra cost savings are needed.
LEA-5 modules are not designed for life saving or supporting devices or for aviation and should not be used in
products that could in any way negatively impact the security or health of the user or third parties or that could
cause damage to goods.

1.7 KickStart
A new feature available with u-blox 5 receiver modules is KickStart. This functionality uses a TCXO to accelerate
weak signal acquisition, enabling faster start and reacquisition times. KickStart is available with the LEA-5H,
LEA-5S, LEA-5Q and LEA-5T.
1.8 GALILEO
The u-blox 5 is a GNSS chip that receives and tracks GPS and GALILEO signals simultaneously, enhancing
accuracy and coverage. When GALILEO-L1 signals become available, u-blox 5 receivers equipped with FLASH
memory will be capable of receiving and processing them via a simple upgrade. The ability to receive and track
GALILEO satellite signals will result in higher coverage, improved reliability and better accuracy.

1.9 Protocols
Protocol Type
NMEA Input/output, ASCII, 0183, 2.3 (compatible to 3.0)
UBX Input/output, binary, u-blox proprietary
Table 3: Available Protocols
Both protocols are available on UART, USB, DDC and SPI. For specification of the various protocols see the
u-blox 5 Protocol Specification [2].
1.10 Antenna
LEA-5 modules are designed for use with passive and active antennas.
An optional antenna supervisor is available with the LEA-5H, LEA-5S, LEA-5A and LEA-5T. In the default
operation mode the antenna supervisor is activated and enables the receiver to detect short circuits to the active
antenna by checking the bias voltage level and can shut down the voltage bias immediately. A series resistor is
needed in front of the V_ANT input. UBX and NMEA messages are provided to report the condition of the
antenna supply. Open circuit detection can also be supported with an additional external circuit. For details,
please refer to the LEA-5 Hardware Integration Manual [1].
The LEA-5Q and LEA-5M do not support the antenna supply and antenna supervisor functionalities.
