Product overview
Description
The STA8600 is a quad-band multiconstellation positioning receiver IC. It requires minimal external components since it embeds enough MIPS/memory resources for supporting up to quad-band (dual-band on STA8600E) algorithms on chip (with submeter accuracy). It supports dead reckoning automotive way (TESEO-DRAW) and dead reckoning unplugged mode (Teseo-DRUM) to ensure high-accuracy positioning in harsh environments such as tunnels, garages, and deep urban areas.
The STA8600 provides measurement data with up to quad-band (dual-band on STA8600E). Combined with the PPP/RTK algorithm, the device provides high positioning accuracy. It shows great flexibility due to the capability to handle all software configurations with a unique binary firmware component.
The STA8600P supports a RTK embedded precise positioning algorithm enabling centimeter-level accuracy application without the need for an external host. It is suitable for drones, robotic lawn mowers and agriculture.
The STA8600 supports a highly evolved antijamming and antispoofing mechanism to mitigate attacks thanks to independent L5 acquisition and tracking, and to the Galileo OSNMA capability. The innovative RF architecture and GNSS baseband make it ready to support new emerging low Earth orbit (LEO) constellations.
The device is delivered in a QFN package.
