STMicroelectronics Teseo VI GNSS receivers

STMicroelectronics has introduced the Teseo VI family of global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers aimed at high-volume precise positioning use cases. For the automotive industry, the chips and modules will be core building blocks of advanced driving systems (ADAS), smart in-vehicle systems, and safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving. They have also been designed to improve positioning capabilities in multiple industrial applications including asset trackers, mobile robots for home deliveries, managing machinery and crop monitoring in smart agriculture, timing systems such as base stations, and more.

The receivers have been designed to integrate all the necessary system elements for centimetre accuracy into one die, supporting simultaneous multi-constellation and quad-band operations. According to the company, this innovation simplifies the development of end-user navigation and positioning products, enhances reliability even in challenging conditions like urban canyons, and reduces bill-of-materials costs. Additionally, the single chip accelerates time to market and allows for compact and lightweight form factors.

All variants feature ST’s innovative RF architecture and GNSS baseband design for quad-band GNSS support (L1, L2, L5 and E6) with the ability to acquire and track only L5. This is effective in reducing outliers and increasing robustness in difficult conditions such as urban canyons and in the presence of jammers. The product family is supported by an established ecosystem of suppliers and partners for algorithms, reference designs and compatible complementary hardware.
