Sustainability continues to be a topic of interest. First, what does sustainability actually mean? Second, what are some of the industry giants doing about it?
 

A well-considered strategy to run and monitor an industrial factory is critical to its safe and profitable operation. In addition to strong policies and procedures, surveillance of security and safety of buildings, operating equipment, staff, logistics, and availability of real-time response to any emerging problem are at the heart of reliable and successful factory operation.

Geneva, Switzerland. STMicroelectronics released its STPM801, the first automotive-qualified integrated hot-swap and ideal-diode controller for functional-safety applications. An external MOSFET is controlled by the ideal-diode managing the reduction of power while operating at normal capacity. In case of an anomaly, the MOSFET safeguards the reverse current transients.

Geneva. A new customized 10W isolated-buck IC from STMicroelectronics has been released to protect power conversion and gate driving in IGBTs, SiC, and GaN transistors. The L6983i includes low quiescent current and 3.5V-38V input-voltage range.

Geneva -- STMicroelectronics announced its STM32Trust TEE Secure Manager designed to ease embedded application development for smart, connected devices. Per the company, STM32Trust is the first microcontroller system-on-chip security solution.

Winners have been chosen based on a 15-point rubric that considers solutions’ Design Excellence (5 points), Relative Performance (5 points), and Market Impact/Disruption (5 points).

STM32H5 MCUs contain the embedded core from Arm®, the Cortex®-M33, which blends high performance with security, energy efficiency, and affordability to best address the mid-range class of MCU-based applications.
