Overview

STA8088EXG is an integrated System-On-Chip device designed for a highly-flexible and

cost effective solution for vehicle, hand-held navigation and telematic applications.

It combines a high performance ARM946 microprocessor with embedded enhanced

peripherals and I/O capabilities, RF front-end and base band processor to support GPS,

Galileo, Glonass and QZSS satellite systems.

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

USB2.0 standard at full speed.

STA8088EXG 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 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.

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

The chip, using STMicroelectronics CMOSRF technology, is housed in a TFBGA169

(9 x 9 x 1.2 mm) and TFBGA169 (12 x 12 x 1.2 mm) packages.

The Automotive Grade devices (see Figure 4: Ordering information scheme) fulfilling high

quality and service level automotive market requirements, is the ideal solution for OEM

telematic applications.
