B.1 Typical design
Here are some key features for a SAM-M10Q typical design:
• VCC and V_IO are connected together to a single supply as shown in Figure 28.
• V_BCKP supply is optional. If present, the hardware backup mode is supported. This mode
maintains the time and GNSS orbit data in the battery-backed RAM memory if the main supply
is switched off.
If there is no backup supply, time aiding with the UBX-MGA-INI-TIME_UTC message (optionally
with a timing signal at the EXTINT pin) and the GNSS orbit data from the AssistNow services or
stored on the host controller can be used to reduce the TTFF.
• UART and I2C communication interfaces are available.
• For an absolute minimum design using UART, other PIOs (RESET_N, EXTINT, TIMEPULSE, SDA,
SCL, SAFEBOOT_N) can be left open.
