Computerized devices such as white goods, office equipment and industrial controls could soon present users with rich graphical features such as animations and widgets, as seen in smartphones, thanks to new technology from STMicroelectronics.

STMicroelectronics reported financial results for the second quarter and first half ended June 26, 2010.

STMicroelectronics has unveiled details of its new family of three-axis digital accelerometers that combine the market’s smallest footprints with a drastically reduced current consumption and enhanced functionality. Samples and demonstration of ST’s newest MEMS accelerometers are showcased in Las Vegas in a private suite near this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (January 7 – 10).

STMicroelectronics today introduced new smart pushbutton ‘on/off’ controller ICs that will improve the user experience for virtually any battery-powered portable device, including e-readers, tablets, media players, smartphones and digital cameras. These new chips will enable next-generation mobile products to offer easy-to-use ‘power-up’, ‘power-down’ and ‘unfreeze/reset’ functions that will prevent damage to the end-user product...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a high-performance, low-power stereo microphone that throws down the gauntlet in sound quality and reliability at reduced size and cost. ST’s innovative MEMS microphone targets existing and emerging audio applications across a range of market segments, including cell phones, portable media players, games, digital cameras, security systems, learning devices and hearing aids, where small size and high sound quali...

STMicroelectronics has introduced a device that provides an extra channel of ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection within the same dimensions as competing alternatives — 25% more channels to deliver a space-efficient solution for designers of feature-rich, tightly packed portable gadgets such as netbooks and smartphones.

STMicroelectronics has introduced an ultra-low-power comparator in a choice of tiny packages. These devices enable increased performance and functionality in portable products that use power-saving design techniques to maximize battery life. Applications that will benefit from the features of these comparators include cellphones, Mobile Internet Devices, MP3 players, digital cameras and portable test equipment.

STMicroelectronics has introduced an IC that delivers superior sound quality from portable music players and feature-phones by excluding high-frequency interference from cellphones. This new device is ideal for the growing number of cellphones being shipped with music-playback capabilities, which iSuppli predicts will grow to exceed one billion handsets annually by 2010, representing more than 90 percent of the market. It will also protect other ...

STMicroelectronics claims the world’s thinnest three-axis digital MEMS accelerometer. The LIS302DLH is a high-performance high-stability 16-bit device that is only 0.75mm high and shares the 3 x 5mm footprint of other devices in ST’s Piccolo MEMS family for use in ultra-space-saving product designs.

STMicroelectronics has introduced a battery-condition monitoring IC enabling increased accuracy for ‘fuel-gauge’ style indicators showing the operating time remaining. The device will improve the user experience for owners of products such as mobile handsets, portable navigation devices, digital cameras and personal media players.
