STMicroelectronics has today revealed that its market-unique, NFC/RFID-enabled memory device has been integrated in Classe Cube, the latest refrigerator from Dongbu Daewoo Electronics. The recently launched Classe Cube has become a sensation by offering a variety of innovative services to consumers as “Korea’s first NFC fridge.”

STMicroelectronics announce that French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault, as well as representatives from national, regional and local authorities, and managers from ST, met at ST’s site at Crolles, near Grenoble, France, to celebrate the Nano2017 Research and Development program. Also present at the ceremony were key partners of ST for the Nano2017 R&D program including CEA-Leti and IBM.

STMicroelectronics has announced the M24C32-RMN6TP and M95320-DRMN3TP/K EEPROMs. The new EEPROMs guarantee endurance of up to 4 million erase/write cycles, four times more than the 1 million cycles offered by competing devices. This gives design engineers greater freedom to update stored data more frequently and extend system lifetime, even at high temperatures.

STMicroelectronics has today revealed that will be exhibiting at TECHNO-FRONTIER 2013 in Booth 1D-201. ST will be conducting various demonstrations where you can see the development boards that focus on the power solutions to promote an effective use of resources. Also on show will be the sensing solutions that improve user experiences, increase customer benefits and contribute to the realization of a new lifestyle for people.

STMicroelectronics has today announced the most power dense single-chip digital audio system available, the STA333IS. Delivering up to 2x20W of audio output power, the STA333IS has a tiny footprint measuring just 2.57mm x 3.24mm. Combining advanced process and chip-scale package technologies with digital audio IP such as ST’s proprietary FFX full flexible amplification, this new digital audio SoC extends ST’s SoundTerminal family.

STMicroelectronics have announced the latest STM32F030 Value Line microcontrollers, priced as low as $0.32 for high-volume orders. The new Value Line offers access to a full portfolio of hardware- and software-compatible 32-bit microcontrollers, ideally suited for lower-budget performance improvements and product extensions. The new STM32F030 Value Line is based on the ARM Cortex-M0 core running at 48MHz.

STMicroelectronics is putting sophisticated audio design and evaluation capabilities within reach of all engineers using its SoundTerminal audio chips and digital MEMS microphones, by publishing a complete virtual audio laboratory that can be downloaded free of charge here.

STMicroelectronics has announced the world’s first smart-meter integrated circuit with built-in support for the METERS AND MORE 1 open communication standard, which enables widespread interoperability among smart metering equipment using Power Line Communication.

Booming demand for faster wireless broadband connections is calling for increasingly complex circuitry inside devices such as smartphones and tablets. STMicroelectronics is addressing that demand by perfecting an advanced component process technology specifically optimized to increase performance and reduce the size of the RF front-end of mobile devices.
