Low-Power Semiconductor Technology promotes energy efficiency.

Combining SOI (Silicon-on-Insulator) substrate technology with 0.16 micron lithography, next-generation variation of BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) smart power semiconductor technology aims to reduce power consumption of electronic systems. It will enable chip designers to combine high-density logic circuitry (1.8 and 3.3 V CMOS) with full dielectric isolation and component portfolio, including power...

Motion Sensing Software Engine targets smart mobile devices.

Fusing data from 3-axis accelerometer, 3-axis gyroscope, and 3-axis magnetometer, iNEMO(TM) Engine uses sophisticated adaptive algorithms for prediction and filtering. Software can correct for magnetic distortions registered on magnetometer, dynamic distortion measured by accelerometer, and gyroscope's inherent drift over time. This protects accuracy of heading information, removes pointing...

Pushbutton Controller Chips suit battery-powered products.

Model STM6600 and STM6601 smart pushbutton on/off controller chips block device power-up if battery is excessively discharged. Chips can also prevent power-up if fault is detected in power supply. Connecting directly to power button, ICs use smart-reset, which requires 2 pushbuttons to be held down for minimum period before reset occurs, eliminating need to hide reset button. Units have active...
