Cadence today announced that STMicroelectronics, a global leader in integrated circuits for communications, consumer, computer, automotive and industrial applications, has standardised on Cadence QRC Extraction for their 40-nanometer custom/analog designs. A key component of the Cadence digital and analog/mixed signal design flow, QRC Extraction enables faster turnaround time, scalability through its multi-core backplane, increased accuracy to si...

Cadence Design Systems, Inc. today announced that STMicroelectronics has selected Cadence OrCAD PSpice technology to provide simulation capabilities to its customers to evaluate the company’s analog and power IC’s.

Atollic and Micrium today announced that TrueSTUDIO has been adopted by Micrium as an officially supported C/C++ development IDE. Micrium’s support of TrueSTUDIO paves the way for users of IDEs to develop projects around a family of software modules widely recognized to be amongst the most reliable in the embedded systems market.

Despite the current economic problems faced by every industry, electronica 2008 sent out many positive signals to the international electronics industry. This year’s show attracted around 2,800 exhibitors, 58% of whom came from abroad. Approximately 72,000 trade visitors were recorded at electronica 2008 and the number of visitors from Central and Eastern European countries, Taiwan, Brazil, South Africa and Russia was higher than in previous ye...

Major suppliers of High Performance Computing technologies including Allinea, ARM, Bull, Caps Entreprise, Eurotech, IBM, Intel, ParTec, STMicroelectronics and Xyratex in association with HPC research centres BSC, CEA, CINECA, Fraunhofer, Forschungszentrum Juelich and LRZ have created a European Technology Platform for HPC (ETP4HPC) and released the ETP’s Vision document to improve Europe’s position in the domain of HPC technologies.

IAR has today revealed that its development tool suite for ARM, IAR Embedded Workbench, delivers the best CoreMark scores ever for an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller, STMicroelectronics’ STM32 ARM Cortex-M4 MCU. The new version of IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM includes major speed optimizations now proven on hardware.

Avago Technologies (Nasdaq: AVGO), a leading supplier of analog interface components for wired and wireless communications, industrial and consumer applications, announced today that on March 15, 2010 Avago filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against STMicroelectronics. Avago alleges that certain STMicroelectronics products infringe four of Avago’s patents covering optical navigation...

STMicroelectronics has introduced the industry’s first three-axis high-resolution accelerometer with two embedded finite-state machines. These programmable blocks enable custom motion recognition inside the sensor, raising the bar in reducing system complexity and power consumption in motion-sensitive mobile phones and other smart consumer devices that let users answer calls, turn the ringer on or off, or launch applications like a pedometer, w...

STMicroelectronics has announced the availability of its open-source capacitive touch sensing software library for its 8-bit STM8 MCU platform. Touch controls improve the look and feel of end products such as MP3 players, televisions, domestic appliances, or printers, compared to mechanical switches or membrane keypads. Using touch controls also lowers bill-of-materials costs while enhancing reliability because they have no moving parts. Typical ...

From 750m below ground to the top of Mount Everest, smart phones and other portable devices will soon be able to pinpoint their height variation relative to sea level to better than one meter, thanks to the most recent MEMS sensor from STMicroelectronics.
