Overview

STA8088GA is a highly integrated System-On-Chip device designed for positioning systems

applications.

It combines the high performance of ARM946 microprocessor with embedded enhanced

peripherals and I/O capabilities with ST next generation triple-constellation positioning

engine. The RF Front-End and Base Band processors are able to support GPS/Galileo and

Glonass navigation systems. The device is offered with a complete firmware which performs

all positioning operations including tracking, acquisition, navigation and data output with no

need of external memories.

It also provides clock generation via PLL, backup logic with real time clock and it supports

USB2.0 standard at full speed, (12 Mbps) with on-chip PHY.

STA8088GA is software compatible with the ARM processor family. 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

chips can be directly powered with 1.2V bypassing the embedded voltage regulators which

will be put in power down mode.

I/O lines are compatible with 1.8V and 3.3V.

STA8088GA, 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.

STA8088GA is compliant with ST Automotive Grade which in addition to AEC-Q100

qualification includes a set of production flow methodology targeting zero defect per million.

STA8088GA, fulfilling high quality and service level Automotive market requirements, is the

ideal solution for in-dash navigation and OEM telematic application.
