Free software simulation tool helps select ESD components
ST Microelectronics has introduced a new software tool that guides the selection of the right protection components for integrated-circuit designs right from the beginning. People, clothing, and objects can easily accumulate static charges of many thousands of volts that may give a minor shock to the human body but present a growing threat to increasingly […]
Precision 16-V Op Amps
feature low input-offset voltage, CMRR
STMicroelectronics has introduced the new TSX7 series of precision 16 V op amps that combine high accuracy with a wide operating-voltage range and excellent robustness. The low input-offset voltage, Common Mode Rejection Ratio (CMRR), and temperature drift eliminate any need for trimming or calibration in the assembled circuit while ensuring consistent performance over a wide […]
36-V op amps target industrial uses
The TSB572 and TSB611 single op amps are the first devices produced using ST’s new 40V-ready BiCMOS semiconductor process. This technology delivers superior GBW/Icc efficiency resulting in about five times lower supply current in relation to performance, compared with standard op amps. In addition, low input-offset voltages with temperature drift below 6µV/°C simplify system design, […]
4-ball WLCSP EEPROM with multiple I2C addresses
STMicroelectronics has extended its M24 serial EEPROM family with four new devices that are fully compatible with the industry-standard 4-ball WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) footprint. The new additions also enable, for the first time, to connect two or more 4-pin EEPROMs to the same I2C bus with an individual I2C address hard-wired internally. […]
Architectural flexibility and highly integrated protection from USB type C
STMicroelectronics has announced a new solution for USB Type-C and Power Delivery with an interface IC aimed at clearing the “Rat’s Nest” of cables in the office and living room currently used to charge and connect computers, smartphones, tablets, TVs, set-top boxes, gaming platforms, and a broad range of consumer, industrial, and IoT smart devices. […]
Time-of-Flight ranging sensor maximizes mobile-camera performance
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), has released its second-generation laser-ranging sensor based on its highly successful FlightSense technology. The new sensor, the VL53L0, can range faster, over longer distances, and more accurately, significantly improving smartphone- and tablet-camera performance and opening new possibilities and features in robotics, user detection, drones, IoT, and wearables. With its small form factor […]
New digital power amplifiers for car audio deliver Cleaner Sound and Simplify System Design
STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), is extending its lead in digital automotive-audio technologies by launching a second generation of power amplifiers that simplify design for car-radio system suppliers and deliver better listening experiences to drivers and passengers – even in smaller cars. ST’s new, second-generation FDA801 and FDA801B 4-channel class-D[1] amplifiers with digital input convert the digital […]
Kit helps develop field-oriented control schemes for brushless motors
STMicroelectronics has introduced a $35 starter kit plus a new free-of-charge software algorithm to help engineers and hobbyists implement efficient vector control in a very short time for motor-driven projects such as drones, appliances, E-bikes, home-automation, health care, and industrial machinery. The P-NUCLEO-IHM001 Motor-Control Nucleo Pack in combination with new software elements from the STM32 […]
