STMicroelectronics’ Unico GUI greatly simplifies configuring the finite state machine and machine learning core (FSM and MLC) logic of its latest Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), including the recently announced LSM6DSO and LSM6DSOX 6-axis modules. The FSM logic lets users run gesture and motion-recognition algorithms directly in the sensor for always-on convenience and low power consumption. The MLC […]
Programmable 12-channel RGB-LED driver enhances lighting effects for smart devices and wearables
With patented features to prevent distracting artifacts in “color-chasing” or “deep breathing” LED animation effects, the STMicroelectronics LED1202 12-channel LED driver enables smoother and more natural interactions with smart-home devices, wearable electronics, and small appliances. The LED1202 can store eight programmable patterns and sequences and operate independently of the main controller, enabling the host system to save […]
Advanced chipset handles 100-W PoE connections
A new chipset from STMicroelectronics lets users quickly build reliable and space-efficient Powered Devices (PDs) to take advantage of the latest IEEE 802.3bt Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) specification. The PM8804 and PM8805 provide the PoE-converter circuitry for PDs up to class-8, which defines a usable power budget of 71 Watts. The chipset saves space, enhances reliability, and cuts time to market […]
650-V IGBTs boost resonant converter energy efficiency in 16 kHz-60 kHz range
Optimized for best conduction and switching performance in soft-switching circuits, STMicroelectronics’ STGWA40IH65DF and STGWA50IH65DF 650V STPOWER IGBTs increase the energy efficiency of resonant converters in the 16kHz-60kHz switching-frequency range. Extending ST’s trench field-stop (TFS) IGBTs for soft-switching applications, which also include the HB and HB2 series for power supplies, welders, and solar converters, the new […]

Dual-core wireless MCUs deliver ultra-low-power real-time performance
STM32WBx5 dual-core wireless microcontrollers (MCU) from STMicroelectronics come with Bluetooth 5, OpenThread, and ZigBee 3.0 connectivity combined with ultra-low-power performance. Fusing features of ST’s STM32L4 Arm Cortex-M4 MCUs and in-house radio managed by a dedicated Cortex-M0+, the STM32WBx5 is power-conscious yet capable of concurrent wireless-protocol and real-time application execution. It is ideally suited to remote sensors, wearable trackers, building-automation controllers, […]
Safe, real-time MCUs for next-gen automotive domain architectures
STMicroelectronics has introduced the new Stellar automotive microcontroller (MCU) family. The Stellar MCUs support next-generation car architectures, which rely on broad “domain controllers” for areas such as Drivetrain, Chassis, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). These domain controllers enable the transition toward software- and data-oriented architectures by providing data fusion from connected sensors while reducing harness complexity and electronic-component […]
General-purpose MCUs support certified USB Type-C and Power Delivery 3.0 protocol
STMicroelectronics is shortening the learning curve for STM32G0 users to take advantage of the microcontrollers’ support for certified USB Type-C and the Power Delivery (PD) 3.0 protocol with the addition of new tools and capabilities to the STM32Cube ecosystem. STM32G0 devices are the world’s first general-purpose microcontrollers to support the USB Type-C specifications. ST’s innovative USB Type-C […]
