Real-Time Clock Chip with EEPROM and Embedded Crystal from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics has introduced a high accuracy Serial Real-Time Clock (RTC) which adds EEPROM and an embedded crystal in a single, space-saving 18-pin SOIC. ST’s new M41T56C64, reduces board space, increases reliability, and lowers manufacturing costs, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring accurate timekeeping and non-volatile data storage. Among these applications are metering devices, medical equipment, vending machines, an...
Fraunhofer and STM Team to Enable Dedicated Solution for Digital Radio Mondiale
STMicroelectronics has announced the signing of an agreement with the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS to jointly develop a dedicated low-power ASIC for Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) applications such as fixed and portable radios, car receivers, software receivers, and Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs). Allowing listeners to set their radio using station names or IDs, the ASIC will offer excellent audio quality and integration of ...
‘Near Zero Power’ Disk Drive Preamplifiers for Sub-2.5" Drives in Portable Products from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics has launched hard disk drive preamplifiers intended specifically for drives with less than 2.5in diameter platters. Named the Near Zero Power series because of their exceptionally low power consumption, the new devices are an open-market evolution of ST’s Ultra Low Power family.
STM gets CERN/ATLAS Award for Development and Production of Radiation-Hard Voltage Regulators
STMicroelectronics has announced that the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN, the European Centre for Nuclear Research, near Geneva, Switzerland, and the world’s largest particle physics laboratory, has honored the Company with an ATLAS Supplier Award for the development and delivery of radiation-hard voltage regulators for use in CERN’s giant ATLAS experiment.
STMicroelectronics unveils 90nm System-on-Chip Capability for Hard Disk Drives
STMicroelectronics has just revealed its design and manufacturing capability for hard disk drive SoC devices in 90nm technology. A new device – integrating ST’s IP in the hard disk controller, the read channel, serial ATA interface (SATA) and memory – is the first such product in the market to be manufactured in a 90nm process. Functional silicon is currently being evaluated and tested, and is sourced from the world-class Crolles2 Alliance...
