Applications

ICs and system-on-chips (SoCs) for finance

ST is a world leader in the development and delivery of chip products and solutions for the banking sector. This is the result of over 20 years in the industry, delivering reliable performance and an unparalleled commitment to the supply of advanced secure products.
ST also deploys its expertise to provide fully-integrated smartcard system solutions, the components of which can be quickly and easily incorporated into a bank’s existing card infrastructure.
ICs and system-on-chips (SoCs) for e-government
Today, governments across the world recognize smartcards as a key tool in protecting international security and improving interaction with citizens. In areas such as health, national ID, and international passports, major programs are in progress to upgrade existing solutions to smartcard technology.
Smartcards offer the optimum combination of security, portability and functionality for governments and industry partners in each country. Apart from the smartcard ICs, ST also supplies system-on-chip solutions (IC with embedded software) and a range of proven smartcard system components, perfectly suited to the needs of large-scale smartcard issuers.
ICs for mobile communications
The ever increasing popularity of mobile communications leads service providers with a never ending search for additional services, which in-turn require additional SIM card performance and memory. ST's experience and leading edge technology enables us to provide the sophisticated integrated circuits (ICs) on which to build secure SIM platforms.
Whatever your IC needs for GSM (global system for mobile communications) and 3G (third-generation) mobile communications we are sure you will find with us.
ICs for transport
Mass transit systems allow access to and perform management of public transport networks (bus, train, tramway, car parks) through handheld tickets. Based on its track record of over 20 years in smartcard, STMicroelectronics has established a comprehensive homogeneous offer of contactless solutions to serve the mass transit application needs.
IC solutions for pay-TV and content protection
ST is the world’s leading supplier of ICs for pay-TV and conditional access, and has extensive experience supplying 8- and 32-bit secure microcontrollers for conditional access to pay-TV solution providers. ST’s latest solutions are produced in 0.15 µm technology and represents state-of-the-art security combined with high-performance cryptography. In addition to standard products, ST creates dedicated solutions consisting of smartcard ICs with custom logic blocks (CLBs) as well as fully custom-specific devices.
Secure system solutions for IT security
Today, ensuring the security of both content and connectivity is a major issue, and ST has developed a unique portfolio of products to aid the development and deployment of such systems. With extensive experience in secure microcontrollers and system-on-chip devices combined with advanced in-house packaging systems, ST provides leading-edge solutions for USB and TPM applications.
