STarGRID powerline SoC, STM32 MCU, metrology and power supply ICs optimize energy efficiency

STMicroelectronics has expanded its sensor portfolio with a high-performance, ultra-compact e-compass module. The integration of motion and magnetic sensing in a tiny 3x3x1mm package opens new possibilities for advanced navigation and location-based services in ever-sleeker portable consumer devices.

Arrow Electronics Northern Europe is offering customers in the UK, Eire and the Nordic and Baltic countries the opportunity to use the latest development tools from some of the industry’s major semiconductor vendors free-of-charge for 28 days.

Arrow has announced the availability of a comprehensive suite of evaluation, development and debug products for engineers planning to use STMicroelectronics’ latest integrated ZigBee devices. The comprehensive support package will ease development, lower costs and speed time-to-market for low-bit-rate wireless networks based on the new STMicroelectronics SN250 system-on-chip ZigBee device or the SN260 ZigBee network processor.

Nordic will demonstrate a firmware upgrade at ESC 2012 that will enable users of Nordic's nRFready 2.4GHz RF Smart Remote reference design to add freespace pointing functionality to their RF remotes. The company will also demo its full range of wireless smart remote, PC desktop, and smartphone solutions

STMicroelectronics today introduced a high-performance, ultra-low-power wireless transceiver for Automatic Meter Infrastructure and other wireless sensor node applications, such as alarm and security systems, home and building automation, and industrial monitoring and control. ST's SPIRIT1 transceiver combines excellent receiver sensitivity with unbeatable current consumption, delivering 50% power reduction over existing solutions in the market.

nRFready 2.4GHz RF Smart Remote is a complete hardware and software reference design featuring a multi-touch touchpad, 6-axis motion sensing, and full QWERTY keyboard. The reference design leverages Nordic’s nRF24L Series SoCs and Gazell™ 2.4GHz RF protocol stack to provide a unique, feature-rich platform for developing remote controls for the latest Internet-enabled and Web 2.0 digital TV and set-top boxes.

Anglia has announced that it has signed a distribution agreement with Telegesis, which produces ZigBee modules based around both Ember and STMicroelectronics chips. The Telegesis modules are designed to meet the needs of engineers who need the functionality of ZigBee but lack the resources or expertise to develop chip level solutions, and of those requiring a fast track to market.

After hitting a rough patch in the second half of the last decade, CMOS image sensors have finally regained growth momentum, and this once high-flying optoelectronics market segment is now expected to set record-high sales each year through 2016 (see Figure), according to IC Insights’ new 2012 Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes (O-S-D) Report.

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.
