Compact 8-bit MCU boards controlled/powered through USB connection
STMicroelectronics’ Nucleo-32 form factor compact boards are controlled and powered conveniently through a USB connection. An ST-LINK debugger/programmer is integrated, which saves using an external debug probe and allows simple drag-and-drop Flash programming. Arduino Nano pins simplify functional expansion using off-the-shelf shields and let users connect with open-source hardware communities. The boards are supported by […]
Wireless MCUs target inexpensive Bluetooth 5.0, Zigbee 3.0, OpenThread apps
STM32WB50 Value Line wireless microcontrollers (MCUs) from STMicroelectronics are a full and pin-compatible derivative of the STM32WB55 System-on-Chip, created to serve cost-sensitive connected devices that need to support Bluetooth 5.0, ZigBee 3.0, or OpenThread. The devices offer a good link budget from 100dB in Bluetooth 5.0 mode up to 104dB in 802.15.4 mode. With the […]
Super-accurate, low-power temperature sensors comply with I2C and SMBus 3.0
With typical temperature-reading accuracy of 0.25°C and low operating and standby current, the STMicroelectronics STTS22H enhances temperature and heat-flow monitoring in asset trackers, shipping-container loggers, HVAC systems, air humidifiers, refrigerators, building-automation systems, and smart consumer devices. The STTS22H is I2C and SMBus 3.0 compliant, and supports flexible operating modes including configurable output data rate (ODR) down […]
Smart-meter chipset now integrates both RF and PLC communication
Already widely used in smart electricity meters, STMicroelectronic’s ST8500 powerline communication (PLC) chipset now enables smart meters to communicate through existing power cables or radio frequency (RF) waves, combining the strengths of both types of connection. Where power lines may be too noisy for PLC, or where local regulations dictate, equipment makers can now implement wireless […]
STM32Cube LoRaWAN dev facilities now include firmware update over the air specs
STMicroelectronics has enhanced its STM32 LoRaWAN software expansion package for developers (I-CUBE-LRWAN) to support the latest Firmware Update Over The Air (FUOTA) specifications. FUOTA cost-effectively future-proofs LoRa devices by simplifying applying application-layer updates and RF-stack updates to devices in the field, increasing the value of LoRa as a long-range, low-power technology for connecting IoT devices. […]
Touch UI framework is more memory/CPU efficient
STMicroelectronics has updated the TouchGFX user-interface software framework for STM32 microcontrollers, adding new features that enable smoother and more dynamic user interfaces and lower demand on the memory and CPU. TouchGFX is a free tool in the STM32 ecosystem. Comprising two parts — TouchGFX Designer PC tool for designing and configuring rich user interfaces, and TouchGFX Engine […]
