Toshiba Foundry Expertise and Ultra Low-Power 130 nm Process Help Global Locate Release Advanced A-GPS Chipset Early
 
 
  CONTEXT Global Locate provides industry-leading A-GPS (Assisted GPS) technology to the mobile wireless sector. The Marlin™ A-GPS Chipset adds location functionality to wireless devices that may already integrate a mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), digital camera or other information appliances. Marlin's small footprint, low cost, and low-power consumption help make location-based services functions possible within a handheld wireless device. Its massively parallel correlation engine enables Marlin to search all possible satellite ranges simultaneously.
 
 
"Global Locate selected Toshiba because of their state-of-the-art, low-power, 130 nm CMOS process and broad design-services offering. Our engagement with Toshiba resulted in a "first-spin" success allowing the Marlin chip to come to market ahead of schedule."
