Zero standby power IC offers smart wake-up management
The reign of dreaded "vampire power" could be about to end thanks to the latest power-supply chip from STMicroelectronics. The IC meets the international specification for zero standby power, and is the first in the world to provide a smart way of managing the wake-up function in appliances such as white goods, in lighting, and in industrial equipment.
Rich ecosystem supports DSI-ready MCUs
A richly featured development ecosystem including boards and software support heralds the start of volume production for STMicroelectronics’ high-performance STM32F469/479 MCUs. The first in the world to integrate the MIPI-DSIcontroller, the unitsdeliver the industry’s highest ARMCortex-M4 processor performance of 608 CoreMark at 180MHz and, with up to 2MB dual-bank Flash and 384KB RAM, are capable of supporting the most advanced IoT ...
Power MOSFETs offer market's lowest Qg & RDS(on) per area
A family of Power MOSFETs from STMicroelectronics allows designers of power supplies to maximise the power efficiency of their products while enhancing robustness and safety margins. The MDmeshK5 devices are the first in the world to combine the benefits of super-junction technology with a drain-to-source breakdown voltage of 1500V, and have already captured important design wins with major customers in Asia, Europe, and the USA.
Wearable cardiac recorder offers mobile peace of mind
A powerful STM32 microcontroller from STMicroelectronics keeps things ticking inside HTEC's wearable ECG recorder that provides continuous and accurate remote cardiac monitoring. Different types of cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, affect millions of people of all ages worldwide. With the accurate and timely diagnosis, causes of most arrhythmias are effectively treated, minimising fatalities.
