RF Receivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'GATR' corresponds to the tape-and-reel packaging configuration required for automated assembly processes. Confirm that the AEC-Q100 automotive grade rating aligns with the target application's reliability standards. Ensure the 56-VFQFPN footprint matches the PCB design constraints. Check for any recent lifecycle status updates or obsolescence notices directly from STMicroelectronics before finalizing procurement plans.

RF Receivers Selection Notes

Select this component when multi-constellation GNSS reception is required within an automotive-grade constraint. The integrated MCU reduces external processor dependency compared to baseband-only receivers. Consider the 56-pin package size against available board space. Verify compatibility with existing I2C and UART peripherals in the host system architecture.

RF Receivers Part Context

This part belongs to the Teseo III family of GNSS receivers, representing a generation of single-chip solutions combining RF front-end capabilities with baseband processing. It serves as a pin-compatible alternative to related models like the STA8089GR, offering specific interface options tailored for infotainment integration while maintaining high sensitivity and accuracy metrics.

RF Receivers Replacement Considerations

The STA8089GR is documented as a pin-compatible alternative within the same product family. Verify functional equivalence regarding supported constellations and interface availability before substitution.
