Now in Stock: STA8090WG – Brand New, Fully Traceable, and Ready to Ship!

Written by Ash Arya | 30-Oct-2025

The STA8090WG from STMicroelectronics is a compact, all-in-one GNSS receiver. It provides accurate navigation and positioning using signals from GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS satellites. 

It includes a built-in RF front end, a low-noise amplifier, and efficient power management. This System-on-Chip delivers fast, reliable performance even in small, space-limited designs.  

Part of ST’s Teseo III series, the STA8090WG uses a powerful ARM946 processor with built-in memory and flexible connectivity. It’s ideal for embedded systems, in-dash navigation, and telematics devices. With ultra-low power use and high sensitivity (-162 dBm), it maintains accurate positioning indoors and in challenging environments.  

Let’s take a closer look at what makes this GNSS receiver a reliable choice for modern navigation devices.  

Key Features of the STA8090WG 

 

Multi-Constellation GNSS Support 
Receives and processes signals from GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS for high-accuracy positioning worldwide. 

Fully Integrated Receiver 
Combines the RF front end, low-noise amplifier (LNA), and baseband processor on a single die to simplify design and reduce external components. 

High-Performance ARM946 Processor 
Runs up to 196 MHz with 256 KB embedded SRAM and external SQI Flash interface for firmware storage and flexibility. 

Fast Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF)
