1 Introduction
UM982 is a new generation of GNSS high precision positioning and heading module
developed by Unicore Communications. It supports GPS/BDS/GLONASS/Galileo/QZSS,
and can simultaneously track GPS L1/L2/L5, BDS B1I/B2I/B3I, GLONASS L1/L2, Galileo
E1/E5a/E5b, and QZSS L1/L2/L5. The module is mainly used in UAVs, lawn mowers,
precision agriculture, and intelligent driving. With the support of on-chip RTK positioning
and dual-antenna heading solution, UM982 can be used as a rover or base station.
UM982 is based on NebulasⅣTM, a GNSS SoC which integrates RF, baseband and high
precision algorithm. Besides, the SoC integrates a dual-core CPU, a high speed floating
point processor and an RTK co-processor, with 22 nm low power design, and it supports
1408 super channels. All these above enable stronger signal processing capability.
Furthermore, UM982 supports abundant interfaces such as UART, I2C*, SPI*, as well as
1PPS, EVENT, CAN*, which meets the customers’ needs in different applications.

RF Part
The receiver gets filtered and enhanced GNSS signal from the antenna via a coaxial
cable. The RF part converts the RF input signals into the IF signals, and converts IF
analog signals into digital signals required for NebulasIVTM chip (UC9810).
NebulasIV (UC9810) is UNICORECOMM’s new generation high precision GNSS SoC with
22 nm low power design, supporting all constellations, multiple frequencies, and 1408
super channels. It integrates a dual-core CPU, a high speed floating point processor and
an RTK co-processor, which can fulfill the high precision baseband processing and RTK
positioning/heading independently.
External interfaces
The external interfaces of UM982 include UART, I2C*, SPI*, CAN*, PPS, EVENT, RTK_STAT,
PVT_STAT, ERR_STAT, RESET_N, etc.

Notes:
L1 and L2: feed inductor, 68 nH RF inductor in 0603 package is recommended
C1and C3: decoupling capacitor, recommended to connect two capacitors of 100 nF /
100 pF in parallel
C2 and C4: DC blocking capacitor, recommended 100 pF capacitor
D1and D4: ESD diode, choose the ESD protection device that supports high frequency
signals (above 2000 MHz)

according to the requirement of feed voltage and antenna voltage
Grounding and
heat dissipation pad
The 35 pads in the rectangle in Figure 3-3 are for grounding and heat dissipation. In the
PCB design, the pads should be connected to a large sized ground to strengthen the
heat dissipation.
The VCC initial level when power-on should be less than 0.4 V and has good
monotonicity. The voltages of undershoot and ringing should be within 5% VCC.
VCC power-on waveform: The time interval from 10% rising to 90% must be within
100 us ~1 ms.
Power-on time interval: The time interval between the VCC < 0.4 V (after power-off) to
the next power-on must be larger than 500 ms.
V_BCKP
The V_BCKP initial level when power-on should be less than 0.4 V and has good
monotonicity. The voltages of undershoot and ringing should be within 5% V_BCKP.
V_BCKP power-on waveform: The time interval from 10% rising to 90% must be within
100 us ~1 ms.
Power-on time interval: The time interval between the V_BCKP < 0.4 V (after power-off)
to the next power-on must be larger than 500 ms.

Item Description
Before surface mounting, make sure that the color of the 30% circle on the HUMIDITY
INDICATOR is blue (see Figure 5-4). If the color of the 20% circle is pink and the color of
the 30% circle is lavender (see Figure 5-5), you must bake the module until it turns to
blue.
The UM982 is rated at MSL level 3. Refer to the relevant IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033
standards for the package and operation requirements. You may access to the website
www.jedec.org to get more information.
