Overview

STA8088TG is a highly integrated System-On-Chip device designed for positioning systems

applications.

The embedded SRAM combined with a high performance ARM946 microprocessor allows

the running of acquisition/tracking tasks without the need of external Flash.

The RF Front-End and GNSS engines are able to support simultaneously

GPS/Galileo/Glonass and QZSS navigation systems.

The device is power supplied with 1.8 V and uses three on-chip voltage regulators to

internally supply the RF front-End, core logic and the backup logic. In order to reduce the

power consumption the chip can be directly powered with 1.2 V bypassing the embedded

voltage regulators which will be put in power down mode. I/O lines are compatible with 1.8 V

and 3.3V.

The chip, using STMicroelectronics CMOSRF Technology, is housed in either VFQFPN56

(7 x 7 x 0.85 mm) or VFQFPN56 (8 x 8 x 0.85 mm) packages.

The ST Automotive Grade devices (see

Figure 4: Ordering information scheme) with in

addition to AEC-Q100 qualification include a set of production flow methodology targeting

zero defect per million. They, fulfilling high quality and service level automotive market

requirements, are the ideal solution for in-dash navigation and OEM telematic application.

STA8088TG family enables telematic and handset manufacturers to differentiate in the

market by providing the best performing solution at lowest system cost.
