Goodbye keys: Microcontroller powers smart lock system
Front door keys have been rendered redundant by STMicroelectronics STM32 microcontroller which is powering the August Smart Lock home-access control system. The high performance and power efficiency of the embedded microcontroller gives August Smart Lock users access to their home's door lock from a smartphone or computer - no keys needed.
6-axis IMU is suitable for navigation & telematics
STMicroelectronics has announced what it claims to be the industry's smallest 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) qualified for automotive applications with low-noise and improved output resolution. The ASM330LXH targets on-board units for electronic road tolling, other vehicle telematics systems and in-dash car-navigation solutions that require accurate and reliable inertial sensors to optimise positioning and direction, even in the absence o...
RF power transistor features 20:1 load-mismatch capability
Designed for high-output class-E industrial power supplies, the STAC250V2-500E 13.6MHz RF power transistor has been released by STMicroelectronics.Providing enhanced safety up to 600W, the device has 20:1 load-mismatch capability, which is claimed to be the highest in the industry.Enabling compact power supplies above 1kW, two STAC250V2-500E transistors used together occupy a similar area to that of a single ceramic transistor.
Smart meter platform passes interoperability tests
STMicroelectronics has announced important new protocol certifications and a strengthened ecosystem for its STCOMET smart-meter System-on-Chip (SOC), creating a unified and future-proof platform capable of complying with the major power-line communication (PLC) standards chosen by utilities worldwide.
Dynamic voltage scaling cuts MCU power consumption
Farnell element14 has stock availability of STMicroelectronics‘ STM32 L0.The combination of an ARM Cortex-M0+ core and STM32 ultra-low-power features, makes the STM32 L0 an ideal solution for applications operating on battery or supplied by energy harvesting. The device’s dynamic voltage scaling further reduces the device's power consumption, by on-the-fly adaptation of the digital supply voltage to the operating speed.
