Hsinchu, Taiwan, October 29, 2007 — SkyTraq Technology Inc, a fabless AGPS chipset company, today introduced next generation Venus 6 chip which features -159dBm sensitivity, low current consumption of ~10mA, and industry-leading time-to-first-fix (TTFF). The Venus 6
chip is ideal for consumer GPS applications ranging from handset, personal navigation, photo geo-tagging, to security tracking that requires extreme low power, very high-performance, and low-cost.

Using separate high-performance search engine and track engine architecture, the Venus 6 is capable of acquiring and tracking 65 satellites simultaneously, achieving fastest signal acquisition and TTFF in the industry. It achieves cold-start TTFF of less than 35 seconds and
hot-start time of 1 second. The state-of-art TTFF performance brings satisfying user experience in all consumer GPS applications.

Having -159dBm tracking and -155dBm reacquisition sensitivity, the Venus 6 allows continuous navigation in nearly all environments, even under harsh urban canyon and highly attenuated dense foliage.

The Venus 6 integrates high performance GPS signal-processing engine, low-power 32-bit RISC core, cache memory, real-time clock, backup RAM, GPIO / UART / SPI interface, all the necessary program ROM and data RAM on-chip for direct PVT solution output in stand-alone GPS applications. The chip can also be configured to operate in a hosted-mode where the
GPS kernel software is completely upgradeable and future-proof.

The Venus 6 is manufactured using advanced deep sub-micron CMOS process offering performance of 90nm technology, resulting in ultra low power of 15mW under continuous navigation. The first of the Venus 6 series product is Venus 624LP, a ROM-based solution in miniature 7mm x 7mm QFN48 package. Engineering sample, datasheet, and reference design are available now. Volume production delivery to customer begins in early Q2 2008.
