STMicroelectronics has extended and enhanced its STMTouch capacitive touch-sensing firmware library allowing designers to add advanced user-interface features to applications using 8-bit STM8 microcontrollers. The second-generation STMTouch firmware now supports over 200 STM8 part numbers, including the advanced STM8S family and the STM8L, featuring ultra low-power EnergyLite™ technology. Another new feature is support for touch detection via c...

STMicroelectronics , has announced it is the first to sample STB decoder chips providing support for next-generation security and content protection technologies that include the NDS VideoGuard Security Kernel and DVB-CSA3 descrambler system.

At the upcoming embedded world trade show in Nuremberg, STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications and a world leader in microcontrollers, will give away 7000 quick-start development boards for fast evaluation and low-risk prototyping with ST’s popular 8-bit (STM8) and 32-bit (STM32) microcontroller devices.

STMicroelectronics is the first to launch a 2-Mbit serial EEPROM chip for write-intensive applications. The new IC allows designers to replace multiple EEPROMs with a single device and improve parameter management on printed-circuit-boards. This breakthrough will help save build costs and board size for consumer and industrial applications, such as TVs and monitors, flat panels, set-top boxes, printers, smart meters, and also equipment used in me...

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 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.

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...

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...

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 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.
