STMicroelectronics and the BioRobotics Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna Establish a Joint
STMicroelectronics and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna of Pisa, a world center of excellence in advanced robotics and one of Italy’s most prestigious universities, have today announced the creation of a joint laboratory for research and innovation in bio-robotics, smart systems and microelectronics.
STMicroelectronics Launches Single-Chip Set-Top Box ICs
STMicroelectronics has introduced two single-chip STB ICs that enable manufacturers to increase product performance and implement added-value features using fewer components. The STi5197 for cable STBs and STi5189 for satellite STBs share a common architecture and are software compatible, enabling efficient development and fast time-to-market for products such as basic zappers, interactive and DVR-capable STBs, and hybrid STBs.
Factory-Calibrated Serial Real-Time Clocks from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics has announced its first serial real-time clock (RTC) chips with factory calibration, enabling manufacturers using the parts to simplify assembly and test operations by omitting the time-consuming calibration step. The new M41T83 and M41T93 RTCs, in embedded-crystal packages, are pre-calibrated to plus or minus 5ppm, delivering a new level of accuracy to users of time-of-day clock and calendar devices. Using a one-time programma...
Precision digital-output temperature sensors from STM
STMicroelectronics has announced a series of precision digital-output temperature sensors, operating over the -55 to +125 degrees C temperature range, which are ideal for low power applications in a broad range of product areas. The cost-competitive STxx75 devices are software-compatible drop-in replacements for industry-standard LM75, DS75 and TCN75A parts, and also complement ST’s STLM20 analog temperature sensor, now being used in several mo...
ST’s MEMS Sensor Enables In-Air Motion Control in New PC and Media Remotes from Gyration
STMicroelectronics today announced that its three-axis acceleration sensors are used to enable motion control in the new Air Mouse and Music Remote from Gyration, the consumer electronics brand from Movea, Inc., and the industry leader in motion-sensing devices for the home and office.
STMicroelectronics Launches New Single-Chip Set-Top Box IC for Entry-Level Cable Zapping Boxes
STMicroelectronics introduced a new variant of the STi5197 single-chip STB IC, a feature-optimized version targeting markets in China and Asia. This new variant, called the STi5197L is designed for cable STBs and enables efficient development and fast time-to-market for OEMs developing basic zapper STB products.
STMicroelectronics Unveils MEMS Digital Compass Module
STMicroelectronics has integrated a 3-axis digital accelerometer with a 3-axis digital magnetic sensor in a single module. The digital compass module combines high accuracy with small form factor and low power consumption at a competitive cost, meeting the growing market demand for advanced navigation capabilities and emerging smart location-based services. ST’s high-performance system-in-package digital compass uses magneto-resistive technolog...
STMicroelectronics and Infra-Com Develop Wireless Digital Audio Reference Design
STMicroelectronics has announced a complete reference design for a high-bit-rate wireless audio solution intended for consumer electronic products such as home theatre systems, surround-sound and gaming speakers, DTV speakers, as well as portable music and aftermarket accessories. The “Drum” and “Violin” designs combine Infra-Com’s receiver side IrGateTM IC with the all-digital class D power amplifier and signal processor from ST’s So...
ARM7-based Motor Control Development Kit from STMicroelectronics
STMicroelectronics has announced a new motor control development kit, built around the recently-announced 32-bit STR750 microcontroller, which enables the rapid development of high-performance vector-control applications, using both Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and 3-phase AC Induction Motors, for cost-sensitive appliance, industrial and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) markets.
STMicroelectronics Delivers Free TCP/IP Stack for STR91x Designers
STMicroelectronics has made the NicheLite TCP/IP stack available free of charge with its STR91x 32-bit Flash microcontrollers featured for networking applications, lowering cost-of-entry to that of open-source offerings but with the advantage of vendor support facilities. Compared to other third-party stacks, NicheLite is also royalty-free, helping manufacturers predict and manage their production costs.
