STA2064N

Overview

The STA2064N is a Cartesio™ family infotainment application processor from STMicroelectronics, designed for vehicle head units and mobile navigation. It integrates an ARM1176 host processor running at 533 MHz with vector floating point capabilities. The device features a high-performance embedded GPS subsystem supporting parallel acquisition for up to 8 GPS or 4 Galileo satellites. System infrastructure includes a 16-bit LP DDR/DDR2 controller addressing up to 256 MB, two DMA controllers, and a color LCD controller. Power management utilizes separated islands for ultra-low power modes. The component operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• ARM1176 host processor operating at 533 MHz with 32 KB instruction and 32 KB data caches
• Embedded GPS subsystem with 32 tracking channels and multibit signal processing hardware
• LP DDR/DDR2 memory controller supporting 16-bit data bus and up to 256 MB addressable space
• Integrated display interfaces including Color LCD Controller (CLCD) and Smart Graphic Accelerator (SGA)

Applications

• Vehicle head units
• Mobile navigation devices (PND)
• Telematics systems
• Infotainment platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current documentation to confirm qualification grade and interface configurations. The STA2064N designation indicates a consumer-grade variant without integrated CAN functionality. Ensure compatibility with required external memory types and RF front-end components for GPS operation before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this processor for applications requiring integrated GNSS capabilities alongside multimedia processing. The consumer-grade STA2064N lacks the automotive-certified CAN module found in the STA2064A variant. Consider the TFBGA-289 package dimensions and pitch when designing PCB layouts. Verify that the target system can support the required voltage domains and external DRAM interfaces.

Part Context

The STA2064 belongs to the Cartesio™ family of infotainment application processors. This family combines host CPU capabilities with embedded GPS subsystems to provide cost-effective solutions for automotive and mobile navigation markets. The STA2064N specifically targets consumer applications, distinguishing it from automotive-grade variants that include additional safety and connectivity features like CAN controllers.

Replacement Considerations

The STA2064A serves as a direct functional alternative for automotive applications, offering identical core specifications but including an integrated CAN controller and automotive qualification.
