STMicroelectronics is emphasising power consumption and security for a range of 56MHz Arm Cortex-M0+ microcontrollers. Called STM32U0, the “MCUs can reduce energy consumption by up to 50% compared to previous product generations”, said the company. It “allows more designs to go battery-free, running solely from an energy-harvesting system such as a small photovoltaic cell”. On the same day, ST announced ...
Researchers at the University of Michigan have made what is in effect a very agile ruler using a novel sub-THz radar technique, and reported it last week at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference. Its 235GHz antennas and the core active components are integrated on a single IC, and across a desktop it measures the range to a target with sub-mm ...
There's agricultural machines tuning to SpaceX satellite communications services, export policies for China, an imminent ST reorg, US visa restrictions, and the CEO of ASML declares the EU's chip goal 'totally unrealistic'...
There's November semiconductor sale, a motor driver starter kit from AMD, ST's custom 316Mpixel 18K image sensor, AI dominating at CES, and Imec's perovskite LED stack that emits light a thousand times brighter than state-of-the-art OLEDs...
STMicroelectronics has made a custom 316Mpixel 18K image sensor for a company with a super-high resolution cinema in Las Vegas. The die measures 99 x 83mm (82.4cm2) – four fit onto a 300mm wafer (right). It can capture images at 120frame/s and transfer data at 60Gbyte/s. “Building a custom sensor of this size, resolution and speed, with low noise, high ...
ST has issued software for migrating STM32 MCU Find code to more powerful STM32MP1 microprocessors. Increasingly, the latest process equipment, factory-automation systems, logistics and retail technology, IoT devices, and digital signage demand greater host-system performance than MCUs typically provide. ST’s STM32MP1 MPUs address these trends, bringing an Arm Cortex-A7 application-class architecture with more processing power and memory. Users can now ...
STMicroelectronics will be showing an evaluation kit that implements both power-line and sub-GHz RF comms for smart grid infrastructure this week at Enlit Europe. Called EVLKST8500GH-2, it combines the company’s ST8500 power-line communication SoC, STLD1 line driver and S2-LP low-power long-range sub-GHz radio transceiver – a chipset which is certified to the v1.4 Hybrid specification of power-line communication industry body ...
STMicroelectronics has introduced a precision digital current, voltage and power monitor with a an I3C bus interface. Called TSC1641, it has two 16bit ΣΔ converters at its inputs, allowing simultaneous measurement of current (LSB=2.5µV) and voltage (LSB=2mV). The measured voltage can be anywhere from 0 to 60V (65V abs max), and the two current terminals sense with either polarity across ...
ST has announced a wireless microcontroller with the Bluetooth 5.3 LE software, initially in a 5 x 5mm QFN, and scheduled to be available in a ~2.8 x 3mm chip-scale package. STM32WB09 (right) is built around a single Arm Cortex-M0+ core and will support 2Mbit/s data, long range (coded PHY), advertising extensions, angle-of-arrival, angle-of-departure, LE data packet length extension and ...
ST is trying harder to displace 8bit MCUs with its entry-level 32bit STM32C0 series by boosting flash to 128kbyte and adding a USB controller. The devices will be called STM32C071, are scheduled to arrive by mid-2024, to be followed by 256kbyte flash STM32C091 models sampling later that year. This is not to say that the company is deserting 8bit MCUs: ...
