STM launches Cartesio+

STMicroelectronics, a producer of semiconductors, has introduced
Cartesio+, a new application processor with embedded GPS for
next-generation in-car and portable navigation systems. Combining
superior processing power and positioning accuracy with a rich set of
integrated peripherals, ST’s Cartesio+ enables cost- and
space-efficient navigation and infotainment applications with enhanced
user experience.

“Capitalizing on the success of the first-generation Cartesio
application processor, which made ST into one of the leading suppliers
for GPS-enabled System-on-Chip ICs, the next-generation Cartesio+
offers high integration and high-performance features, while meeting
the constraints of cost-sensitive applications,” said Domenico Rossi,
General Manager of ST’s Car Radio and Multimedia Division.
