STMicroelectronics Unveils Ultra-Low-Power Technology Platform for 8-bit and 32-bit Microcontrollers
STMicroelectronics has announced details of an ultra low power technology platform for building a range of 8 and 32bit microcontrollers.
ST claims that this platform would enable future generations of electronic products to consume less power, meet energy efficiency standards and operate for longer from batteries.
ST will introduce the first new microcontrollers, the STM8L and STM32L, later in 2009 as part of its ultra low power product paths for the 8bit STM8S and 32bit STM32F families. The microcontrollers have been designed to achieve power consumption as low as 150µA/MHz from Flash and HALT mode power consumption as low as 300nA while maintaining sram content and registers.
According to ST, product developers will use the new devices to take advantage of today’s most advanced and efficient processor architectures in fast-growing markets such as portable medical devices and e-metering, as well as emerging opportunities where long battery life, small battery sizes, or battery-less operation are required
