World's smallest ToF ranging sensor offers 2m range
STMicroelectronics has announced the second generation of its FlightSenseTime-of-Flight ranging sensor technology, now available in the VL53L0X laser-ranging sensor.The VL53L0X extends the ToF measurement range to 2m, and is accurate to within ±3%. It is also faster, measuring the distance in under 30ms, and highly energy-efficient, consuming only 20mW in active ranging mode and drawing 5µA in standby.
ST & SAG deliver tiny NFC tags for IoT applications
STMicroelectronics & Securitag Assembly Group (SAG) have announced a tiny NFC Ferrite Tag that uses ST’s ST25 NFC tag IC for IoT data-transmission applications. Small, light and thin, the NFC Ferrite Tag can be surface-mounted during production through the metal pad that can be directly soldered to the PCB surface. It can also function when placed on metal products because of its anti-metallic interference characteristics.
SiC technology enables portable electric-car charger
Industry-acclaimed SiC power electronics from STMicroelectronics has enabled the creation of ZapCharger Portable, the world’s smallest, smartest and safest electric-car charging station from start-up Zaptec. The market-first portable electric-car charger with built-in electronic transformer, ZapCharger works with any electric car on any power grid.
