Garmin chooses ST SoC
Garmin is to use the Cartesio SoC from STMicroelectronics inside several of its new products.
In particular, Garmin will integrate the Cartesio processor in a range of navigation systems, including the new nüvi 205.
Cartesio integrates a 32bit ARM cpu core with a 32channel GPS subsystem and a set of connectivity peripherals. It also features high speed ram and real time clock functionality. Housed in 16 x 16 x 1.4mm lfbga, the part has a 0.8mm ball pitch to comply with the automotive industry assembly requirements.
