Simplifying designs for a wide range of industrial applications including instrumentation, multisensory systems, headless medical monitors, and single-phase electrical meters, the Renesas Synergy ultra-low-power microcontroller is available at RS Components.

  STMicroelectronics announced at AWS re:Invent 2018 extended support for Amazon FreeRTOS with new starter kits for the STM32, a family of 32-bit Arm Cortex-M microcontrollers.

STMicroelectronics has presented at IEDM2018 architecture and performance benchmarks of a technology based on 28nm FD-SOI with embedded Phase-Change Memory (ePCM) designed for its automotive microcontrollers (MCUs). ST's products based on ePCM are sampling now to alpha customers, with field trials meeting the requirements of automotive applications and full technology qualification expected in 2020.

Renesas' new Silicon on Thin Buried oxide based embedded controller shows how to harvest energy from smart materials that enable complex application such as an ECG monitor to operate without a battery.

By adding the new STM32G0 microcontrollers (MCUs) to the STM32 family, STMicroelectronics is stretching the portfolio of Arm Cortex-M-core MCUs to more thoroughly cover key embedded-market segments. The new G0 series targets entry-level applications that require greater energy efficiency, functionality, security, and value, in a smaller footprint.

Global semiconductor specialist serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, STMicroelectronics, has reportedly made its STM32 microcontrollers (MCUs) even more attractive to developers of IoT products and other smart devices by providing free software for creating rich, smooth, and colourful graphical interfaces that deliver a great user experience.

Setting up STM32 microcontroller (MCU) projects is more intuitive and efficient using STMicroelectronics’ latest release of the STM32CubeMX configuration tool. With its modern multi-panel GUI that lets users visualise and do more without changing screen view, STM32CubeMX v.5.0 makes optimising MCU-configuration parameters easier and more comfortable.

  The STM8L001 ultra-low-power microcontroller from STMicroelectronics targets cost-conscious applications, by combining ST’s highly efficient 8-bit STM8 core with essential and effective peripherals, in the compact, low-pin-count SO-8 outline.

Creating cloud-connected applications traditionally can require significant time and resources for embedded designers to develop necessary expertise in communications protocols, security and hardware compatibility. Developers often overcome these challenges with large software frameworks and Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS), which results in increased development time, effort, cost and security vulnerabilities.

The STM32 MCU product family from ST Microelectronics has been extended with a high performance and a very high performance series, available from Rutronik UK. The two Value Lines F7x0 and H7x0 give extra flexibility to create affordable performance-oriented applications including real-time IoT devices, without compromises in features or cyber protection.
