Two new ICs from STMicroelectronics allow designers to connect an antenna to a Bluetooth transceiver using a single chip, making Bluetooth-enabled products simpler, smaller and easier to build. The BAL-2593D5U and BAL-2690D3U are integrated baluns, used to convert the antenna signal to a balanced pair of signals as required by the Bluetooth transceiver. As replacements for traditional baluns built with discrete components, the new devices occupy ...

STMicroelectronics has announced full production of the STM8L ultra low-power microcontroller family. Unveiled in late 2009, the new family features EnergyLite technology to minimize power consumption in all operating modes.

STMicroelectronics announced full availability of a 32-nanometer (nm) technology platform for the design and development of leading-edge application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for networking applications. Central to the new 32nm SoC design platform, which implements ST’s 32LPH (Low-Power High-performance) process technology, is the industry’s first Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) IP available in 32nm ‘bulk’ silicon.

STMicroelectronics has extended its motion-sensor portfolio with a 3-axis digital-output accelerometer that combines a drastically reduced power consumption – 90% lower than available solutions on the market - with miniature footprint and enhanced functionality.

STMicroelectronics and Micropelt GmbH, a young German company specializing in novel thin film thermoelectric devices, have announced a jointly-developed autonomous wireless sensor evaluation kit. The TE-Power NODE evaluation kit combines Micropelt’s Thermogenerator and ST’s EnFilm™ solid-state thin-film battery as energy storage for power backup and pulse current. Power management and charge monitoring circuitry connect to the included grap...

STMicroelectronics and Alango Technologies Ltd, a leading developer and licensor of front-end voice enhancement technologies, today announced a licensing agreement in which ST will integrate Alango’s leading software technologies into ST’s advanced Bluetooth chips for car infotainment applications, such as hands-free kits. Automotive analysts currently forecast that approximately 45% of new cars will be equipped with hands-free equipment by 2...

The Portland Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics and leading supplier of compilers for high-performance computing (HPC), today announced that Gaussian, Inc, an ongoing collaboration of scientists and academic research groups throughout the world, used PGI compilers to port a version of its flagship Gaussian 09 product to Intel processor-based Macintosh computers running 64-bit versions of Mac OS X.

The Portland Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics and a leading supplier of compilers for high-performance computing (HPC), today announced an agreement under which Cray Inc will resell PGI® optimizing Fortran, C, and C++ compilers and development tools with the Cray CX1 line of deskside supercomputers and the recently announced Cray CX1000 line of rack mount supercomputers.

STMicroelectronics demonstrated maximum protection for secure documents, such as ID cards and biometric passports. ST announced details of its formal EAL6+ Common criteria certification (ref 2010/01 and 2010/02) – the highest security standard applicable – for its ST23YR80 secure dual microcontroller, including its optional crypto libraries.

Following the announcement today by Micron Technology of the closing of its acquisition of Numonyx Holdings B.V., STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM) announced that in connection with the sale of its 48.6% stake in Numonyx, ST has received the following consideration:

STMicroelectronics, the leader of the MEDEA+ FOREMOST “Integration of 45nm CMOS technology” Advanced R&D project, today announced that FOREMOST has been short-listed as one of three finalists for the 2010 EUREKA Innovation Award.

The Portland Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics and a leading supplier of compilers for high-performance computing (HPC), today announced that its entire line of PGI Accelerator compiler products, including its new PGI 10.4 release, now support the latest NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPU) based on the Fermi architecture.

STMicroelectronics just unveiled AC switches that are ideal for controlling appliance motors. These AC switches can be used without many of the additional components normally needed to ensure smooth switching and provide protection. The new devices will allow one-stop design for heavy-duty home appliances such as washing machines or refrigerators. Consequent ruggedness will lower the end products’ total cost of ownership.

STMicroelectronics has introduced an intelligent power switch (IPS) for use in industrial controls, which provides improved accuracy to minimize energy losses and prevent system errors when faults occur. These advantages are achieved using ST’s latest generation VIPower technology, which allows a lower overload current limit than competing devices to maintain stable power conditions while the system is recovering.
