STMicroelectronics Claims Memory Density Record with 2-Mbit Serial EEPROM
STMicroelectronics is the first to launch a 2-Mbit serial EEPROM chip for write-intensive applications. The new IC allows designers to replace multiple EEPROMs with a single device and improve parameter management on printed-circuit-boards. This breakthrough will help save build costs and board size for consumer and industrial applications, such as TVs and monitors, flat panels, set-top boxes, printers, smart meters, and also equipment used in me...
STMicroelectronics to promotes Green Power for Electronics in China
STMicroelectronics will demonstrate an array of energy efficiency products and solutions under the theme of ‘Green Power’ at IIC-China 2009 in Shenzhen, China, from February 26 to 27, 2009. More than 30 product demos showcase ST’s most advanced power management solutions which reflect ST’s commitment to help customers reduce their environment footprint.
Remote and Local Temperature Sensor for Thermal System Management
Texas Instruments has announced an integrated +/-1C maximum remote junction temperature sensor and local temperature sensor, designed to monitor thermal diodes found in CPUs, microprocessors, graphics processing units and FPGAs. Unlike other devices, the TMP411 features programmable series resistance cancellation and diode non-ideality correction which simplify and remove the time-consuming process of individual processor resistance calibration c...
Power Management IC from TI maximises energy in Multi-Kilowatt Systems
Texas Instruments has introduced what it says is the industry's first single-chip, interleaved power factor correction (PFC) control circuit for multi-kilowatt communications, server and industrial systems. The new UCC28070 two-phase, average current-mode controller allows designers to simplify power design, increase system reliability and achieve a greater than 0.9 power factor rating, which improves energy efficiency.
Integrated High-Current LED Driver in Chip Scale Package
Texas Instruments has introduced a device based on a high-frequency synchronous-boost topology with constant current sink to drive single, high-brightness white light emitting diodes (LEDs). The tiny 2 mm x 1.5 mm x 0.625mm device uses an inductive fixed-frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme using small external components, minimizing input ripple current for applications, such as a white LED flash for camera phones, smart phones ...
STMicroelectronics Sets the Standard for Protecting High-Speed Multimedia Interfaces
STMicroelectronics has raised the performance of ESD protection for equipment such as DisplayPort monitors and PCs by introducing a Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) allowing increased high-definition (HD) picture quality, thanks to its best-in-class low capacitance. By 2013, approximately 100 million portable PCs will ship with a DisplayPort output for connection to an external high-definition screen1.
STMicroelectronics Launches STM32 Value Line to Give Cost-Sensitive Applications Greater Choice
STMicroelectronics has released details of new ultra low-cost 32-bit microcontrollers bringing the advantages of the STM32’s 32-bit advanced industry-standard core into applications served by lower-performing devices that lock developers into proprietary processor architectures.
High-Voltage IC for Resonant Half-Bridge Topology
STMicroelectronics has introduced an advanced double-ended controller specifically designed for the series-resonant half-bridge topology. The new-generation high-voltage IC is said to guarantee excellent performance, allowing the design of fully protected and highly reliable power supplies that are particularly suited for use in applications such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Plasma Display Panel (PDP) TVs, high-end AC-DC adapters for lapto...
STMicroelectronics Frees Space for More Features in Multi-Function Handhelds
STMicroelectronics has introduced a device that provides an extra channel of ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection within the same dimensions as competing alternatives — 25% more channels to deliver a space-efficient solution for designers of feature-rich, tightly packed portable gadgets such as netbooks and smartphones.
Sharp starts operation at the world's first G10 LCD plant
Sharp Corporation started operations at its new LCD panel plant (Sharp Display Products Corporation) in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Construction on this state-of-the-art manufacturing complex for LCD pan-els and thin-film solar cells began 1 in November 2007.
