Next-gen single-chip automotive navigation processor with embedded GPS
( 01 Feb 2008 )
The Cartesio is an automotive-grade application processor with embedded GPS for navigation and telematics. Developed by STMicroelectronics, it couples perfectly with ST’s GPS RF chip (STA5620), creating an offering that significantly reduces the form factor and bill-of-materials with no compromise in performance.
The STA2062 integrates a powerful 32-bit ARM CPU core with a high-sensitivity 32-channel GPS subsystem and a large set of connectivity peripherals, including CAN, USB, UARTs, and SPI. It also provides on-chip high-speed RAM and real-time clock functionality.
Housed in 16 x 16 x 1.4mm LFBGA packages with a 0.8mm ball pitch, the Cartesio addresses applications in the automotive segment, including OEM and portable navigation devices, vehicle tracking systems, electronic fee collection, and advanced car radio.
