Effective architecture allows zero no-load consumption
STMicroelectronics and Flextronics have jointly developed a plug-in charging platform based on an ST multi-mode power-management controller that delivers breakthrough technology for mobile devices. The energy-efficient platform is designed with the industry’s most effective power-management architecture to achieve zero no-load power consumption and excellent dynamic load regulation.
Clip-on HUD provides session info for swimmers
STMicroelectronicshas announced its contribution to helping both casual weekenders and top-tier athletes keep their eyes on the prize while engaging in one of the world’s most popular activities. ST’s leading-edge technologies have enabled an innovative HUD monitor for swimmers from Instabeat that tracks, stores, and projects key information including heart rate and swimming speed on the goggles.
Secure NFC/RFID tags feature multiple memory options
STMicroelectronics has combined wide memory range, strong data protection and best-in-class data retention and write-erase cycles in its SRTAG NFC/RFID tags, opening up possibilities for short-range wireless connectivity in applications such as consumer electronics, computer peripherals, home appliances, industrial automation, and healthcare products.
Development tool shortens build times for AMR-based devices
IAR Systems has updated its development tools for ARM with new device support and new functionality. Version 7.40 of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM introduces support for ARM Cortex-M7 MCUs from STMicroelectronics and Atmel. In addition, the tools now feature parallel build for shorter build times, as well as an integration of IAR Systems’ new tool, C-STAT, for powerful static code analysis.
Integrated passives & protection devices make a good match
There can be little debate about the benefits of the miniaturisation of electronics devices and their ever-increasing functions, but they can give designers headaches; when marketing departments freeze the form factor and specifications of the end-device, designers and PCB layout experts must deal with it, making their jobs a balancing act. Once the core ICs have been selected and placed on the board, they must design basic, but essential, circui...
MCU family supported by choice of free IDEs
STMicroelectronics says that choosing one of its STM32 MCUs is the easiest way for innovators to bring products to life, now that designers can choosefrom three IDEs from leading vendors, which are free of charge and deployed in close co-operation with ST.Users can choose between Eclipse-based IDEs such as CooCox CoIDE or Ac6 System Workbench for STM32, and the MDK-ARM environment.
RF module speeds time to market for meter makers
A team formed of EBV Elektronik, WEPTECH elektronik and STMicroelectronics have developed a flexible sub-GHz RF module that streamlines certification of wireless M-BUS and OMS metering systems. The module, called MAIA within the EBVchips program, addresses different metering applications, including automatic meter reading (AMR), advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), gas and water meters, and electricity meters, as well as heat meters or readers...
Software-design support streamlines safety certification
A software-design support package, which streamlines certification of safety-critical systems featuring STM32 MCUs, has been developed by STMicroelectronics and YOGITECH.Together, the companies provide a set of STM32 safety manuals to assist application design, as well as Software Test Libraries (fRSTL) certified according to the IEC61508:2010 functional-safety standard.
CEA-Leti to present silicon successes at OFC 2015
At OFC 2015, which takes place from 22nd to 26th March in Los Angeles, CEA-Leti will present updates on its silicon photonics technology, including its results on ‘Heterogeneously integrated III-V on silicon distributed feedback lasers at 1310nm’ and hybridisation of electronic and photonic ICs.
NXP & Freescale merger set to dominate OE automotive sector
According to the latest analysis by Semicast Research, Renesas Electronics was the leading vendor of semiconductors to the OE automotive sector in 2014, ahead of Infineon Technologies. STMicroelectronics retained its position as third largest vendor, with Freescale fourth and NXP fifth. Semicast estimates that revenues for OE automotive semiconductors totalled $29.4bn in 2014.
