Home Appliance Control

Modern Appliances use an increased amount of semiconductors required for a variety of features ranging from energy efficient motors to interactive user interface. STMicroelectronics has developed a panel of ICs that address the appliance control market for all of today’s major and small appliances. By combining our high efficiency solutions with our large product portfolio, designers can implement any of their new ideas.


Product Highlights

ST7 8-bit Microcontroller
This growing family of 8-bit microcontrollers has the flexibility of Flash programming, a de-facto standard core architecture and a complete range of products and development tools to suit your budget. (More...)

Sensors
Among others, ST produces a family of proximity detectors - integrated circuits designed for metallic body detection, which act as oscillators, sensing variations in high frequency eddy current losses. (More...)

Protections
With technological leadership in Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS), ST offers a broad range of solutions, from Discrete Clamping (TRANSIL™) and Crowbar Diodes (TRISIL™), to ESD Data line protection arrays and Protection ICs for Telecom circuits. (More...)

Micro-electro-mechanical system
The mechanical system is based on two silicon inter-digitated comb- fingers, where a set of fingers is fixed and a set is suspended and can move in-plan under the action of a suitable force. Vibration, acceleration or rotation are measured by the change of capacitance between these movable and fixed structures. (More...)

Thyristors & ACSwitches
Standard and sensitive SCRs (Silicon Controlled Rectifier), sensitive, Snuberless™ and high temperature Triacs, Application Specific Devices (ASD) for industrial applications, overvoltage proof ACS™ and ACST immune to transient busts, ST's Thyristors and AC Switches are the easiest way to secure the design and the reliability of AC power circuits.
