STMicroelectronics announced today the appointment of Paul Grimme as Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the Automotive Product Group (APG), reporting to Chief Executive Officer Carlo Bozotti. Grimme’s appointment comes several months after joining STMicroelectronics as Deputy General Manager of APG.

The next generations of smartphones are unlikely to become much smaller, but they could be slimmer and smarter using a single-chip widescreen capacitive touchscreen controller announced by STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a leading provider of ICs for mobile and consumer products.

STMicroelectronics has expanded its portfolio of ultra-compact, high-performance MEMS (Micro Electro-Mechanical System) sensors with a 3-axis accelerometer with absolute analog output. Able to operate with any supply voltage in the range of 2.16V to 3.6V and extremely stable over temperature and time, ST’s LIS352AX is a perfect fit for motion-sensing applications in space- and cost-constrained battery-operated devices.

Two new ICs from STMicroelectronics allow designers to connect an antenna to a Bluetooth transceiver using a single chip, making Bluetooth-enabled products simpler, smaller and easier to build. The BAL-2593D5U and BAL-2690D3U are integrated baluns, used to convert the antenna signal to a balanced pair of signals as required by the Bluetooth transceiver. As replacements for traditional baluns built with discrete components, the new devices occupy ...

STMicroelectronics today announced first results of its collaboration with AMD on next-generation graphics for mobile multimedia. ST’s newest mobile application processor, the Nomadik STn8820, integrates AMD’s innovative graphics technology to enable visually rich 2D and 3D applications on mobile handsets. Live demonstrations of ST’s Nomadik graphic capabilities will be presented at the Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona.

STMicroelectronics has announced a compact audio power amplifier chip – intended for mobile phones and for other portable audio products – which creates 3D audio effects in the stereo speaker outputs to add impact and a surround-sound feel to MP3 and video files. The TS4997 can deliver 1.2W per channel of continuous average output power into 8-ohm loads, from a 5V supply — although it operates from supplies of as little as 2.7V — while it...

STMicroelectronics has extended its motion-sensor portfolio with a 3-axis digital-output accelerometer that combines a drastically reduced power consumption – 90% lower than available solutions on the market - with miniature footprint and enhanced functionality.

The partners in a new publicly-funded research project today announced details of the multinational/multidisciplinary program: “END — Models, Solutions, Methods and Tools for Energy-Aware Design.” This three-year ENIAC (European Nanoelectronics Initiative Advisory Council) project is designed to enhance the competitiveness of Europe’s semiconductor and electronics equipment companies in developing new products and technologies that are at...
