Product details
Overview
STA8089GAT from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualified, single-die standalone GNSS receiver IC supporting GPS/Galileo/GLONASS/BeiDou/QZSS with 48 tracking + 2 fast acquisition channels, -162 dBm indoor tracking sensitivity, <1 s hot-start TTFF, and integrated ARM946 MCU (196 MHz), USB 2.0 full-speed PHY, dual CAN, dual UART, I²C, SQI Flash interface, RTC, and 256 KB SRAM. It targets automotive in-dash navigation and OEM telematics systems requiring high-accuracy positioning under urban multipath conditions.
For engineers reviewing the STA8089GAT datasheet, STA8089GAT pinout, STA8089GAT application, or STA8089GAT equivalent, key selection criteria include multi-constellation support, automotive temperature range (-40/+105°C), embedded dead reckoning readiness (STA8089GATD variant), RF front-end integration, and compliance with ST Automotive Grade zero-defect production flow.
Technical Context
The STA8089GAT integrates a proprietary G3BB+ baseband processor handling simultaneous Galileo/GPS (4.092 MHz IF), GLONASS (8.57 MHz IF), and BeiDou (10.23 MHz IF) signal processing with sign-magnitude 3-bit ADC digitization and VGA gain control via SPI. Its RF front-end embeds LNA, synthesizer, and dual-path downconversion with 10–52 MHz reference clock acceptance.
The ARM946E-S subsystem operates up to 196 MHz with 16 KB I-Cache, 8 KB D-Cache, 16 KB high-speed I-TCM, and 128 KB switchable I/D-TCM, coupled to APB peripherals including dual CAN controllers (ISO 11898-1 compliant), two UARTs, I²C master/slave, 10-bit dual-channel SAR ADC, and USB 2.0 full-speed transceiver with on-chip PHY.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar GNSS receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| u-blox UBX-M8030-KT | 33 tracking channels, no integrated ARM MCU, requires external host processor; supports GPS/Galileo/GLONASS only | Lacks embedded processing and dual CAN; suited for host-based architectures rather than standalone navigation units | Select when system already includes a capable application processor and GNSS functionality is delegated to a peripheral module |
| Qualcomm WGR7640 | Multi-GNSS + LTE Cat M1 combo chip; integrated modem but no automotive temp rating or AEC-Q100 qualification | Targets connected IoT, not automotive safety-critical systems; lacks ST Automotive Grade production traceability | Select for non-automotive telematics where cellular connectivity is primary and GNSS is secondary |
Compared with u-blox UBX-M8030-KT and Qualcomm WGR7640, STA8089GAT uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 2 qualification, embedded ARM946 MCU, dual CAN, and multi-constellation support in a single die - making it the only option for automotive-grade standalone navigation without external host dependency.

FAQ
Is STA8089GAT pin-compatible with STA8088GA?
Yes, STA8089GAT is pin-to-pin compatible with STA8088GA per STMicroelectronics documentation. This enables direct hardware replacement in existing Teseo II designs without PCB revision. Firmware updates may be required to leverage new features like QZSS support and enhanced dead reckoning capabilities.
What GNSS constellations does STA8089GAT support natively?
STA8089GAT natively supports GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS using its 48-channel G3BB+ baseband processor. It processes Galileo/GPS at 4.092 MHz IF, GLONASS at 8.57 MHz IF, and BeiDou at 10.23 MHz IF - all simultaneously - without external configuration or firmware patching.
Does STA8089GAT include an integrated USB physical layer?
Yes, STA8089GAT integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 PHY compliant with USB specification 2.0, supporting 12 Mbps data rates. The USB_DP and USB_DM pins connect directly to a USB connector without external transceivers, and the embedded driver stack enables CDC ACM class enumeration for NMEA streaming.
What is the role of the backup domain (BK_Domain) in STA8089GAT?
The backup domain powers the RTC, 32 KB BKRAM, and oscillator circuit from VINB (1.6–4.3 V), maintaining timekeeping and critical data during main supply loss. It enables wake-up via WAKEUP pin and preserves last-known position and timestamp - essential for eCall and ignition-cycle continuity in automotive applications.
