STMicroelectronics has introduced what it says is the market’s smallest single-chip camera sensor for mobile applications. Coupling low space requirements with advanced image processing capabilities, ST’s latest 2-megapixel mobile-phone camera sensor addresses consumers’ appetite for full-featured imaging solutions in ever-more popular thin-profiled handsets.

Following a short overview of types of solar power systems and converters, this application note introduces a fully working, grid-connected solar inverter prototype suitable for rooftop applications. This solar inverter has been equipped with STMicroelectronics’ MDmesh and silicon carbide (SiC) devices to allow evaluation of these products in “green” technologies.

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...

The joint venture that united the wireless semiconductor division of STMicroelectronics and the mobile platform division of Ericsson will move forward as ST-Ericsson. This announcement follows the recent closing of the agreement announced in August 2008, between the parent companies, to merge Ericsson Mobile Platforms and ST-NXP Wireless.

In the future, many cellular handsets will feature a slot for a removable memory card. Designers can minimize the impact of this feature on handset dimensions by using the EMIF06-mSD02N16 SD Card interface IC just announced by STMicroelectronics.

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 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 has perfected one of the world’s first automotive ICs supporting advanced networking technology to unlock valuable improvements in fuel efficiency and emissions.

STMicroelectronics has introduced the market’s first 3-axis digital-output gyroscope that meets the industry-standard qualification for automotive integrated circuits (AEC-Q100). ST’s newest angular-rate sensor aims to add positioning accuracy and stability to a wide range of automotive applications, including in-dash navigation, telematics and vehicle tolling systems.

According to a new report, Opportunities for System and Semiconductor Manufacturers in Hybrid and Battery Electric Vehicles, global production of electric cars – either hybrids, plug-in hybrids, battery electric or fuel cell vehicles – will better 16 million in 2021, and will account for 16 percent of all vehicles manufactured.
