STMicroelectronics Telemaco3 telematics and connectivity processors

STMicroelectronics has boosted performance and security in its latest Telemaco processors tailored to support rich connected-driving services. Telemaco helps maximise consumer access to connected-driving services through the integration of the telematics processor, secure in-car connectivity and sound boosting in a single chip.

Unlike alternative devices, which are typically based on an application processor or a GSM modem with integrated CPU, Telemaco3 chips are tailored for telematics applications and give extra flexibility to choose the connection type, such as 2G, 3G or 4G. At the same time, the secure interface with the in-vehicle network is enhanced with a hardware cryptographic accelerator, while connectivity is extended with Gigabit Ethernet support and the option to host a Wi-Fi module that can be used as an in-car hotspot.

The Telemaco3 family increases performance for telematics and connectivity applications, compared to the previous Telemaco2 generation, by upgrading the execution speed of the power- and area-efficient main processor from 700 to 2500 DMIPS. It comprises the STA1175, STA1185 and STA1195 ICs, which provide choices such as various numbers of CAN interfaces and the optional DSP subsystem, enabling users to scale their designs.
