STMicroelectronics has begun sampling the STi7106 high-definition (HD) video decoder, which offers enhancements for higher performance, lower power, and lower bill of materials costs in set-top boxes. As the latest evolution of ST’s STi7105 single-chip decoder, supporting all required audio and video standards such as H.264, VC-1, MPEG2 and WM9, the new STi7106 adds AVS high-definition decoding and maintains the same architecture as the STi7105...

STMicroelectronics has announced the launch of a new generation of high-performance, full high-definition (FHD) H.264/MPEG System-on-Chip (SoC) ICs for the worldwide flat-panel digital TV (DTV) market. Next-generation TVs powered by the new SoCs will enable compelling services and new business models for premium content, and deliver a rich and intuitive user experience.

High-performing motor drives for equipment such as security cameras, cash dispensers, ticketing machines, stage-lighting, printers and vending machines can now be realized more quickly, at lower cost and higher performances using a complete motor-control system on a chip perfected by STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a world leader in intelligent power ICs.

Freescale Semiconductor and STMicroelectronics have made significant progress in the areas of automotive IP development, flash technology alignment and new product definition. Since announcing their joint design initiative last year, the automotive units from ST and Freescale have focused product development efforts on a wide range of automotive applications, including powertrain, chassis, motor control and body systems using Power Architecture t...

The Portland Group, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) and a leading supplier of compilers for high-performance computing (HPC), today announced it is developing a CUDA C compiler targeting systems based on the industry-standard general-purpose 64- and 32-bit x86 architectures. The new PGI CUDA C compiler for x86 platforms will be demonstrated at the SC10 Supercomputing conference taking place in New Orleans, LA, November...

STMicroelectronics has announced details of its breakthrough interactive latest-generation broadband home-entertainment platform, that revolutionizes connected homes by providing users with unequalled performance at extremely low power, capable of a more personalized and socially interactive viewing experience with amazing 3D graphics and easy-to-use smart navigation.

STMicroelectronics has introduced a family of energy-metering ICs that incorporate all of the core circuitry necessary to implement a complete meter system without requiring any other active component. The STPM1x family, measuring active energy as pulse frequency output and featuring fast digital calibration, provides electronic meter manufacturers with a complete, cost-effective series of power-metering chips specifically designed for low-end ap...

STMicroelectronics has announced new TV sound processor chips – the STV83xy family – which are an evolution of the established STV82xy series and which are intended particularly for mainstream flat-panel TV sets. Like the STV82xy devices, each of the new processors is a single-chip solution that provides all the resources required to detect, decode and process analog audio transmissions or digital sources with multi-channel content, and to dr...

STMicroelectronics has announced two new additions to its SPEAr family of configurable System-on-Chip ICs. The dual-core SPEAr Plus600, complemented with a single-core variant, SPEAr Head600, represents a market-unique solution that enables printer, fax, point-of-sale (POS) and other equipment manufacturers to develop complex yet flexible digital engines at a fraction of the time and cost required by a full-custom design approach. Additionally, t...

STMicroelectronics has introduced what it says is the first LED driver to include auto-power-saving features. The STP16CPS05 allows manufacturers to meet the high power-efficiency requirements of industrial lighting, signage and transport applications by guaranteeing savings of 80% compared to existing solutions.
