Single-chip solution to augment touchscreen functionality with hovering, stylus inputs and gloved hands sensing.

According to preliminary findings from the 2013 edition of Semicast’s Embedded Processing Service, Intel was the largest supplier of embedded processors in 2012, just ahead of Qualcomm. Broadcom maintained its position as third largest supplier, while Samsung traded places with Texas Instruments for fourth and fifth respectively.

Yole Développement announces its SiC Market 2013: Technology and Market for SiC Wafers, Devices and Power Modules report. Yole Développement’s report focused on the entire value-chain, covers all SiC applications in low, medium and high power ranges and provides all metrics up to 2020. It also includes a Bill-of-Material analysis, to compare Silicon vs. SiC-based system costs, and a cost reduction roadmap for SiC devices.

STMicroelectronics today announced that its Near Field Communication controller is being used by NEC CASIO Mobile Communications in the exciting G’zOne CA-201L smartphone, based on Android. The phone is initially targeted to the operator LGU+ in Korea.

This video shows a smartphone used to browse the content in a smart TV. The interaction is based on advanced gesture recognition achieved using a combination of MEMS sensors and iNEMO sensor fusion software.

STMicroelectronics has introduced the world’s smallest TVS diode for protecting sensitive electronics in consumer products and handhelds. As the first such device to be offered in the industry’s smallest standard surface-mount outline of 0.45 x 0.2mm, the ESDAVLC6-1BV2 is one size smaller than today’s 0.6 x 0.3mm devices.

STMicroelectronics announce that its Teseo II single-chip satellite-tracking ICs were successful in the very first ground location test using Europe’s own independent navigation system, Galileo. The tests were conducted in collaboration with the European Space Agency. Last month, the first position fix of longitude, latitude and altitude using the four Galileo satellites currently in orbit was performed by the ESA at its Technology Centre in th...

STMicroelectronics has begun working with research partners to develop a pilot line for next-generation MEMS devices augmented with advanced technologies such as piezoelectric or magnetic materials and 3D packaging. The project was launched by the European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council Joint Undertaking, a public-private partnership in nanoelectronics.

The Embedded Microprocessor Benchmark Consortium (EEMBC) today announced an expanded working group project with the Volkswagen Group to establish an energy-efficiency benchmark for microcontrollers aimed at making automotive end products more energy aware and more robust.

Veredus Laboratories today announced that the current version of VereFlu detects the current subtype of H7N9 (Avian Flu) that is responsible for the Flu outbreak in China. H7N9 is the latest mutation to cause concern and increased surveillance in the region. Launched in 2008 and built on the STMicroelectronics lab-on-chip platform, VereFlu run on Veredus’ VerePLEX biosystem is the market’s first test to integrate two powerful molecular biolog...
