STMicroelectronics has unveiled an audio processing chip that connects directly to the latest miniature microphones and provides a new way of boosting performance from small, low-cost, or even damaged speakers. The device will allow customers to deliver market-leading miniaturized audio products offering outstanding sound quality.

STMicroelectronics announced full availability of a 32-nanometer (nm) technology platform for the design and development of leading-edge application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for networking applications. Central to the new 32nm SoC design platform, which implements ST’s 32LPH (Low-Power High-performance) process technology, is the industry’s first Serializer-Deserializer (SerDes) IP available in 32nm ‘bulk’ silicon.

Following the successful launch of its advanced STM32F4 ARM Cortex M4 microcontroller family, STMicroelectronics has begun shipping the STM32F4Discovery Kit to appointed distributors worldwide. The kit provides an ultra low-cost development environment enabling fast, convenient design starts using the new devices.

STMicroelectronics has announced a new family of ultra-low-power touch-sensor chips, following the signing of a technology-licensing agreement with the Korean company ATLab, Inc. The sensors are intended for portable applications such as mobile phones, PDAs, notebook PCs and media players, as well as for the cost-sensitive white-goods market. The new ‘S-Touch’ family uses ATLab’s capacitive touch-sensing technology, which is based on a full...

The Portland Group®, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics and leading supplier of compilers for high-performance computing (HPC), today announced that PGI compilers and development tools now generate code targeted at Quad-Core AMD Opteron™ processors, code-named “Barcelona”. PGI and AMD are cooperating to provide these compilers to independent software vendors and customers interested in migrating and tuning applications for AMD...

STMicroelectronics has announced an addition to its award-winning1 Nomadik family of mobile multimedia application processors, which builds on the success of the pioneering STn8810 by increasing the speed of its ARM9 core by almost 50%. The new higher-speed core in the STn8811 delivers stunning performance for general-purpose applications running alongside video, music and image processing on smart mobile phones, personal media players (PMPs) and...

STMicroelectronics today introduced a new generation of ‘nano’ three-axis linear accelerometers. The versatile, low-power MEMS sensors provide complete output flexibility and embedded smart features, meeting the exploding demand for miniaturized motion-sensing solutions in the consumer and industrial markets.

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...

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 ...

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.
