RF Receivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package variant required, as the STA680 series includes both 144-LQFP and 168-LFBGA options. Confirm that the selected part number matches the intended pinout and thermal requirements for the target PCB design. Ensure compliance with RoHS3 standards if environmental regulations apply to the final assembly. Check for any recent PCN updates regarding packaging or manufacturing site changes before placing orders.

RF Receivers Selection Notes

Select the STA680Q when an AEC-Q100 qualified AM/FM receiver is needed for automotive audio. Choose the 144-LQFP package for standard surface mount processes or the 168-LFBGA for higher density layouts. Ensure the system design accommodates the 1.2V supply rail and 90mA current draw. Verify that the application requires HD Radio base-band capabilities, as this distinguishes it from standard FM-only receivers.

RF Receivers Part Context

The STA680Q belongs to STMicroelectronics' portfolio of automotive RF receivers. It is part of the broader STA680 family, which includes variants like the STA680 in different packages. This component addresses the growing demand for integrated, high-reliability audio solutions in modern vehicles, supporting both traditional broadcast and enhanced digital radio formats.

RF Receivers Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitute part numbers are available in the provided documentation. The STA680 model is listed as 'Last Time Buy' with a final shipment date of April 30, 2028. Designers should plan for obsolescence management if continuing production beyond this date.
