ST has joined Quintauris, the RISC-V facilitator, as its sixth shareholder alongside Bosch, Infineon, Nordic Semiconductor, NXP and Qualcomm. Quintauris was founded in December 2023 to advance the adoption of products based on RISC-V principles. This will include access to reference architectures, and assistance in the creation of versatile, cross-industry solutions. The initial core industry applications will be for the ...
STMicroelectronics has created a time-of-flight distance sensor for industrial use. VL53L4ED works over -40 to +105°C and in high ambient light, and provides “provides distance measurement to objects up to 1,150mm away over the full temperature range,” according to the company. “Special settings allow accurate distance measurement up to 800mm under strong ambient light [5klux].” On-board the 4.4 x 2.4 ...
ST was the No.1 supplier of SiC devices last year with a 32.6% market share. The top five suppliers took approximately 91.9% of total revenue. onsemi rose from fourth place in 2022 to second place. While last year’s market was driven by EVs, the slowdown in EV sales growth is affecting the SiC device market which TrendForce expects to “significantly ...
STMicroelectronics has added I2T fusing to a automotive quad high-side power switch. As well as current-squared time fusing VNF9Q20F, as it will be known “responds within 100µs to turn off the [output] mosfet if excessive current is detected”, said ST. “Performing as an intelligent circuit breaker, [it] enhances board-net voltage stability and prevents PCB traces, connectors and wire harnesses from ...
STMicroelectronics has introduced a demo board that controls two 10A 74V brushless motors with real-time field-oriented control. Called EVSPIN32G4-DUAL, it is built around the company’s STSPIN32G4 motor control system-in-package (9x9mm VFQFPN). Inside that is a 170MHz 32bit Arm Cortex-M4 MCU die (STM32G431) that includes a hardware CORDIC accelerator for trigonometric calculations, alongside a gate driver die that can sink or ...
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 ...
