STMicroelectronics announced the renaming of an endowed scholarship fund in honor of retired executive Robert L. Banks. The scholarship, originally in the name of STMicroelectronics, was established in 2007 to benefit students at Stephen F. Austin University’s Arthur Temple College of Forestry and Agriculture.

STMicroelectronics introduced two new digital MEMS microphones. Combining superior sound quality with robustness and reliability at reduced size and cost, ST’s MP34DB01 and MP45DT02 microphones enable enhanced audio experience in mobile phones and portable computers, as well as in many other existing and emerging applications with a voice input.

STMicroelectronics, has introduced a new motion sensor providing accurate measurements of vehicle movement for systems such as adaptive front lights, auto-levelling HID (high-intensity discharge) lamps, inertial brake lights, e-parking brake, advanced anti-theft systems and control of vehicle dynamics.

STMicroelectronics has introduced MotionBee, a complete, ready-for-use platform that combines state-of-the-art motion sensing with ZigBee wireless technology in a single ultra-compact module. Boasting low power consumption and high level of integration, ST’s MotionBee enables system developers to quickly and cost-effectively build wireless sensor networks for remote motion recognition and tracking in many different application areas, including ...

STMicroelectronics has announced what it says is the industry’s most comprehensive hardware developer kit (HDK) for building active RFID tags and readers that comply with the global standard for 433MHz active RFID technology, ISO 18000-7. The beta version of the Smart Web Based Sensor HDK is available now from Arira Design.

STMicroelectronics has announced the availability of two new 2048-bit ‘long range’ RFID memory products that are fully compliant with the ISO/IEC 15693 and ISO/IEC 18000-3 Mode 1 RFID standards for tracking applications.

STMicroelectronics has introduced an ultra-low-power IC containing all the functions necessary to control an Optical Finger Navigation (OFN) module or optical joystick. The VD5376 optical joystick controller helps users interact with the increasingly sophisticated features of portable electronic products, such as smartphones, laptop PCs, netbooks, media players, GPS devices and remote controls for home-entertainment equipment. The new VD5376 cont...

STMicroelectronics has unveiled the industry’s first IC to combine important power-optimization and power-conversion functions for solar generators. ST’s innovation will allow multi-panel arrays, ranging from domestic rooftop-type equipment to larger installations, to deliver more energy at a lower cost per Watt.

STMicroelectronics today announced that Giuseppe Izzo, General Manager of Taiwan Operations and Vice President for ST’s Greater China and South Asia Region, will deliver a speech at 2010 Taipei Summit – PV Taiwan Forum on the Company’s latest semiconductor innovations for next-generation photovoltaic applications.

This video illustrates how the M24LR16E harvests energy coming from RFID systems to power the board it is mounted on, enabling innovative battery-less designs.
