SPC56: New 32-bit MCUs built on Power Architecture™ target Automotive Applications

Born of the STMicroelectronics-Freescale cooperation, the first four members of the SPC56 family are application-optimized MCUs for advanced powertrain (SPC563M), car body (SPC560B50/SPC560C50), chassis & safety (SPC560P), and cluster solutions (SPC560S60). The MCUs are based on Power Architecture™ using compatible e200 cores and feature innovative peripheral sets that are optimized for building efficient automotive applications. More


2200 V ESBTs®: Ideal solution for 690 VAC SMPSs

Combining high-voltage bipolar and low-voltage power MOSFET technologies in a single package, Emitter Switched Bipolar Transistors feature all strengths and none of the drawbacks of each technology. ST's new ESBT family can thus withstand up to 2200 V at up to 3A and 7A, with a maximum switching frequency of 150 kHz. They lend themselves to cost effective solutions for all applications requiring both high voltage and high switching frequencies, as in auxiliary flyback switched-mode power supplies (SMPSs) powered by an input voltage from 200 VAC to 690 VAC. The devices are offered in High Voltage TO247-4L HV, fully insulated TO247-4L HP, and high-power ISOTOP® packages. More


New STM8S Microcontrollers with Advanced 8-bit Core and Platform Scalability

STMicroelectronics introduces new robust and reliable 8-bit MCU family combines STM8 processing power, on-chip true EEPROM, software and pin-out compatibility, plus peripherals common to families including the STM32. The STM8S family includes a large selection of device ranging from 4- to 128-Kbytes of Flash and 20 to 80-pin packages. More


Blue modules – a new series of high-efficiency, rugged Bluetooth modules

ST’s Blue Modules are a series of Bluetooth V1.2 wireless modules available in Class 1 and Class 2, offering rugged and reliable wireless links to users operating typically in industrial and medical environments. Blue modules are offered with two different software configurations: the H support protocol layer up to HCI and the AT1, SPP plus AT command, for serial cable replacement. More


LED7706 DC-DC converter for LED driving

The LED7706 is a monolithic DC-DC converter able to drive up to 60 LEDs. It offers very high performance in terms of efficiency and dimming and is housed in a tiny QFN4x4 24L package. Its wide input voltage, ranging from 4.5 V to 36 V, and its flexibility make it suitable for a variety of applications. More


LNBH24 – dual supply and control IC with embedded step-up and I2C interface

The LNBH24 represents the latest generation ICs for supplying and interfacing two LNB down-converters. It has two independent fully integrated current-mode boost PWMs and two very low-drop linear regulators. It offers high integration to reduce space and costs, high power efficiency to reduce power dissipation, and high reliability to ensure long service in customers’ equipment. More


STULPI01A/B - USB 2.0 high-speed transceiver with On-The-Go functionality and ULPI compliancy

This standalone solution adds a high-speed USB connection (480 Mbit/s) to ASICs, where fast data exchange rate complexity and low power consumption are the main concerns. It provides a pin count optimized solution to USB hosts, peripherals or OTG controllers supporting single-data-rate (SDR) or double-data-rate (DDR). Low power consumption makes this device suitable for battery equipment such as mobile handsets, navigation systems, PDAs and digital still cameras. More


L639x smartDRIVE family - an innovative solution for power MOSFET and IGBT drivers

Most applications are increasingly driven by performance, cost and efficiency requirements. ST’s new L639x smartDRIVE devices are innovative, versatile and cost-effective MOSFET/IGBT drivers for a broad range of applications. The devices embed a full set of features, an integrated comparator for protection, and an op amp suitable for advanced current sensing in systems such as field-oriented motor controllers. More


Energy saving AC-DC converters – reduce standby consumption and boost efficiency by >90%

Essential in powering the majority of equipment plugged into the mains, ST’s new converters outperform the most demanding energy saving regulations, reduce standby consumption, improve power quality and boost efficiency. More
