Due to the emergence of technological developments such as the connected car and autonomous driving, the number of semiconductor devices in cars is rapidly increasing. The company’s automotive semiconductor solutions improve both vehicle performance and the integr...

With the aim of eliminating parasites that contribute to honeybee Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), STMicroelectronics and Eltopia Communications have announced that Eltopia’s Intelligent Foundation, codenamed ‘MiteNot’, uses an STM32F0 MCU, multiple sensors, and power-management components from ST to monitor and collect data on environmental conditions.

The STiH314/318 and STiH414/418 Ultra-HDp60 quad-core SoC ICs have been released by STMicroelectronics, expanding the company’s Cannes/ Monaco family. The SoCs can be used to decode Ultra-HD HEVC at 60fps with 10-bit colour depth streams, and display this on the latest gen HDMi2.0 at 6Gb/s. 

Supporting the latest Bluetooth version 4.1 enhancements, a BlueNRG Bluetooth SMART network processor has been introduced by STMicroelectronics. The BlueNRG-MS network processor introduces 1.7V operation for longer-lasting battery-powered applications.

STMicroelectronics is to preview a high-performance DOCSIS 3.1 platform in a live demonstration in Las Vegas during the International CES 2015. Next-gen DOCSIS3.1 cable modems will help Multiple System Operators (MSOs) satisfy surging consumer demand for high-speed data services such as 4K Ultra-HD, multi-screen video-streaming services, Cable IPTV, gaming, file sharing, and home security.

Providing a uniquely scalable terrestrial radio-receiver platform for car-radio applications, STMicroelectronics has introduced the STAR-T (TDA7707) and STAR-S (TDA7708) IC-tuner family. The devices enable manufacturers of car radios to maximise their product-development efficiency and minimise their final product cost.

To detect unauthorised sharing of digital content and help deter piracy, STMicroelectronics and Civolution have integrated the NexGuard forensic watermarking with the UltraHD-4K Cannes and Monaco SoCs. The integration will be demonstrated at STMicroelectronics’ private suite during the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, which takes place from 6th to 9th January in Las Vegas. 

How hybrid relays combine mechanical and solid-state technologies to deliver the best of both worlds, while making it simpler to comply with the latest legislation for energy-using devices. By Benoit Renard, SCR/Triac Application Engineer, & Laurent Gonthier, SCR/Triac Application Manager, STMicroelectronics.

Helping miniaturise electronic control modules, power converters and motor drives, STMicroelectronics has introduced a family of automotive-qualified high-voltage ultrafast rectifiers. The devices' extremely low profile, light weight and -40 to +175°C operating temperature range support space-efficient vehicle electronics and equipment installed in harsh environments, such as mobile basestations and outdoor lighting.
