The Americas Region of STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a world leader in microcontrollers, today launched the STM32 Design Challenge (www.stm32challenge.com), a contest for the design of innovative microcontroller applications across different industry segments. The three-phase competition, acknowledging the most creative, design-efficient and useful embedded system concepts built around ST’s cutting-edge 32-bit microcontrollers, will run for 6...

The Portland Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics announced that it is now shipping the PGI CUDA C and C++ compilers for systems based on the industry standard general-purpose 64-bit and 32-bit x86 architectures.

STMicroelectronics has extended its range of motion sensors with a new digital-output two-axis linear accelerometer. The low-power, ultra-compact LIS202DL with embedded smart features addresses a wide range of consumer and industrial applications from motion-activated user interfaces to vibration monitoring. Smart features embedded in ST’s new accelerometer include click and double-click recognition, motion-detection/wake-up and high-pass filte...

STMicroelectronics has today announced a dual DVB-S2 satellite TV demodulator chip, intended for STBs that offer the viewer the ability to watch one standard or high-definition TV channel while recording another. The new multi-standard STV0900 provides in a single package the functionality of two of ST’s established STB0899 demodulators, significantly reducing STB complexity and manufacturing cost.

STMicroelectronics has announced a new-generation development of the industry-leading STV0297 Cable TV demodulator. The STV0279E High Performance QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) Demodulator adds new features to the widely-used STV0279D to deliver dramatic performance improvements that enable the demands on other elements in the reception chain to be relaxed, so reducing Bill of Materials (BOM) costs for manufacturers.

STMicroelectronics has announced what it says is the first HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) switch in the world to support a video data-transfer rate of up to 3.4-Gigabits per second (Gbps), enabling full 16-bit color depth — 65k colors — to be maintained for a true high-definition (HD) picture. The STDVE003A is designed to be used in LCD and Plasma TV sets to provide multiple HDMI inputs for external program sources, such as game ...

STMicroelectronics, the first company to release a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) fully compliant with the TCG (Trusted Computing Group) TPM 1.2 specification, today announced a new module which is manufactured in ST’s advanced 0.15-micron CMOS EEPROM process technology. The new ST19NP18 is based on the successful previous-generation ST19WP18 TPM, with the 0.15-micron process delivering additional cost benefits for PC manufacturers.

STMicroelectronics has introduced a compact stereo headphone and loudspeaker driver chip, with a flexible I2C bus control interface, which is intended for mobile phones, PDAs and laptop computers. The new TS4956, in a lead-free 2.5x2.4mm flip-chip package, can drive up to 38mW per channel continuous average power into 16-ohm headphone loads, or 450mW into 8-ohm loudspeaker loads, when operating on a 3.3V power supply.

STMicroelectronics and Tsinghua University, Shenzhen Graduate School, have reached a long-term strategic research partnership agreement. This agreement is the second phase of a collaboration that began in 2002 with the setup of a joint ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) research center.

STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), one of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers, has published its Corporate Responsibility Report for 2009. The report demonstrates how ST creates value for its stakeholders through its culture of Sustainable Excellence and has maintained its commitment to Corporate Responsibility despite the economic crisis.
