Even if you never plan to go beyond one prototype, you still need to wean your board off the bench top power supply. However, choosing a permanent power supply for your electronics design is more than just a simple exercise in determining the operating voltage, maximum current, and form factor. Mouser Electronics has over 43,000 […]
IC secures contactless transactions, maintains NFC connections in wearables

Ultra-low-power ARM microcontrollers support secure boot, crypto accelerators
Building on the Cortex-M33, which boosts protection for small devices by integrating Arm’s TrustZone hardware-based security, ST’s STM32L5-series MCUs add further enhancements including flexible software isolation, secure boot, key storage, and hardware cryptographic accelerators. They also provide rich functionality, high performance, and long run-times powered by coin cells or energy harvesting. Consuming as little as 33nA […]
Probe helps program/debug STM8, STM32 MCUs
STMicroelectronics has introduced the next-generation STLINK-V3 probe for programming and debugging STM8 and STM32 microcontrollers, adding enhancements to further increase flexibility and efficiency. Now featuring mass-storage support, a virtual COM port with multipath bridge, and three-times faster write performance, the competitively priced STLINK-V3 saves development time and easily reprograms devices in the field. In addition to providing typical JTAG/Serial-Wire Debug […]
element14 Community issues ‘Sixth Sense’ Design Challenge
element14.com, the community for engineers, has launched the Sixth Sense Design Challenge, which tasks its community with creating a small remotely-operated or autonomous vehicle, such as a drone, robot or a tunnel exploration device. As an added twist, the project should showcase a “sixth sense” by displaying the capabilities of STMicroelectronics and TE Connectivity products […]
Mobile-security chip combines NFC Controller, Secure Element, and eSIM
STMicroelectronics announced its highly integrated mobile-security solution, the ST54J, a system-on-chip (SoC) containing an NFC (Near-Field Communication) controller, Secure Element, and eSIM. The SoC delivers performance-boosting integration for mobile and IoT devices, with the added benefit of ST’s software-partner ecosystem for smoother user experiences in mobile payments and e-ticketing transactions, as well as more convenient, remote, […]
Qi-compliant wireless power transmitter delivers 15 W to multiple charging coils
The STMicroelectronics STWBC-MC 15W wireless battery-charger transmitter can control multiple charging coils, making charging less dependent on the precise position of the battery-powered device. Compliant with the latest Qi 1.2.4 specification, the STWBC-MC is the first transmitter specifically designed to support the Qi MP-A15 EPP (Extended Power Profile) topology. In addition to detecting a valid receiver and selecting […]
Development boards for 8-bit MCUs include Arduino Uno connectors
STMicroelectronics has introduced two STM8 Nucleo development boards, letting the 8-bit world experience the ease of access and extensibility with the STM32 Nucleo range. Leveraging the formula that has kickstarted countless STM32 embedded projects, the STM8 Nucleo boards give full access to all STM8 MCU I/Os through ST morpho headers, and contain Arduino Uno connectors that simplify functional expansion […]
Geolocation-based tools and service package employs STM processors
STMicroelectronics and TomTom announced a package of development tools in the STM32* Open Development Environment that connect directly to TomTom Maps APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for location, tracking, and mapping data services, accelerating product development and reducing time-to-market and development costs for developers. This first-of-its-kind-development package consists of an STM32 Discovery host board for 2G/3G cellular-to-cloud connectivity, a GNSS expansion […]
