ST has recently enhanced its MEMS product portfolio by introducing the LIS244ALH and LIS344ALH high-performance analog accelerometers to address applications in the demanding industrial, telecom and computing markets. The LISx44ALH series combines the benefits of reduced space and power consumption in battery-operated devices with extremely tight offset and sensitivity accuracy and very low output noise. More


VIPer17 - offline converter for high-efficiency, cost-effective switch mode power supplies

VIPer17 is an innovative high-voltage converter suitable for very smart, cost-effective power supplies. It includes both a power section and a controller in one package. The power section is avalanche rugged and has a breakdown voltage of 800 V, ensuring robustness and reliability. The controller, designed with advanced BCD technology, works with a current mode technique and is suitable for flyback converters. It runs with fixed frequency with jittering. Both 60 kHz and 115 kHz versions are available. More


SPEAr BASIC - 65nm ARM®926 with 300kGates Structured ASIC Fabric

The latest member of the SPEAr family, manufactured in 65 nm process technology, provides cost efficiency, computing power and customizability for various embedded applications, including entry-level printers, fax machines, digital photo frames, voice-over-IP and other equipment. SPEAr Basic offers ASIC-like flexibility at a fraction of the development time and cost required by a full custom-design approach. More


EMIF06-AUD01F2 - space saving single-chip IPAD audio connector in flip-chip package

The EMIF06-AUD01F2 is optimized for portable device audio interfacing. It provides EMI filtering and ESD protection for 2 differential microphone lines and 2 headset speaker lines, and includes biasing-circuit integration in only 4.65 mm². Its excellent stop band (800 MHz-2480 MHz), attenuation (>-30 dB, thanks to a 4 x 1.3 nF high density capacitor), and its very low total harmonic distortion (THD) on microphone lines (THD < -75 dB) make the EMIF06-AUD01F2 well suited to high-end, high audio quality mobile phones. By integrating high-robustness 15 kV air and contact ESD protection diodes which provide very low clamping voltage down to 20 V, the EMIF06-AUD01F2 provides a high level of protection for highly sensitive circuits. More


STCL1120 - fast and reliable 12 MHz fixed-frequency silicon oscillator

ST is introducing the STCL1xx0 family of silicon oscillators that can replace crystals and ceramic resonators in applications that do not require precise accuracy. Compared to crystals or ceramic resonators, silicon oscillators offer the advantages of faster start-up, smaller size and improved immunity to shock, vibration and electromagnetic interference (EMI). More


RF power design kits - new tools for high-performance RF power amplifier designs

New application support kits that help evaluate the features and performance of ST RF power transistors in power amplifier designs have been developed. These kits help reduce customer design cycle time and costs for wireless applications. They provide useful support information, such as S-parameter measurements under different bias conditions, reference boards, spice models, electrical schematics and BOM lists. More


MDmesh II for lighting - 500 V and 600 V super-junction power MOSFETs for efficient lighting designs

The MDmesh II 500 V and 600 V product portfolios are a designer's ideal choice when developing efficient energy-saving light systems. The safe operating area and avalanche ruggedness of the innovative MDmesh II series allows reliable and robust applications, while the extremely low RDS(on) and intrinsic capacitance improve efficiency by substancially cutting power losses.
