STMicroelectronics' Automotive-Grade Application Processor Powers New Range of Navigation Products from Garmin

(Product News, 10 Mar 2008)


STMicroelectronics' Cartesio automotive-grade application processor System-on-Chip (SoC) with embedded GPS for navigation and telematics will be implemented inside several products from Garmin. One of the world leaders in portable navigation products, Garmin is to integrate the ST Cartesio processor in a range of navigation systems, including the new nuvi 205.

Building on ST's strengths in automotive technologies and applications, the new Cartesio processor was designed to meet the specific and rigorous demands for quality and reliability in the automotive market. The SoC addresses a large variety of applications in the automotive segment, including OEM and portable navigation devices, vehicle tracking systems, electronic fee collection, and advanced car radio.

The Cartesio SoC is a derivative of ST's leading-edge Nomadik application processor platform, and takes full advantage of Nomadik's audio/visual capabilities for infotainment applications.

ST's Cartesio integrates a powerful 32-bit ARM CPU core with a high-sensitivity 32-channel GPS subsystem and a powerful set of connectivity peripherals, including CAN, USB, UARTs, and SPI. It also provides on-chip high-speed RAM and real-time clock functionality. While the Cartesio processor can work with other GPS RF products, it perfectly couples with ST's STA5620 GPS RF chip creating a unique offering that significantly reduces the form factor and bill-of-materials with no compromise in performance. The STA2062 is housed in 16x16x1.4mm LFBGA packages with a 0.8mm ball pitch to comply with the automotive industry assembly requirements.
