ZigBee® modules - SPZB250 and SPZB260 adding wireless networking capabilities to electronic devices

Based on ST's powerful ZigBee networking products, the SPZB250 and SPZB260 modules offer a ready to use, low-power and cost-effective solution for OEMs to integrate wireless capabilities in their devices. Several applications can be addressed including wireless sensor networks, industrial control and home automation. More


STV200N55F3 and STV250N55F3 high-current power MOSFETs for low-voltage motor control

The STV200N55F3 and STV250N55F3 are 55 volt power MOSFETs dedicated to motor control. The exclusive ribbon bonding technique of the PowerSO-10 package results in outstanding performance in terms of low on-resistance and high current capacity. The STV250N55F3 achieves one of the lowest RDS(on) values available on the market. More


STCF06 - dual-mode buck-boost converter with I2C interface for camera flash

The STCF06 is the latest product belonging to the STCFXX camera flash family. In addition to the large current (in excess of 1.5 A) that can be output to the LEDs, the STCF06 integrates a full set of features, all of which are easily controlled by means of an I2C bus interface that helps reduce both the logic-pin count and the quantity and length of the traces on the PCB. A low-current auxiliary output is also available for supplying an optional red LED, typically used as a recording indicator. The STCF06 is housed in a µTFBGA25 3 x 3 package. More


Motor control – Efficient designs with dedicated evaluation boards available online

ST offers complete solutions covering most standard motor topologies, such as universal and brushed DC motors, brushless motors (including single-phase induction, 3-phase induction), brushless DC, stepper and switched-reluctance motors, plus thermostat control boards. More


ETP01-1621 and ETP01-2821 protects Ethernet in telecom environments

Housed in an SO-8 package, the new ETP01 series is able to protect Ethernet 100 Mbit/s up to telecommunication standards such as Telcordia GR-1089 intrabuilding (100 A 2/10 µs), ITU-T K20/21 (37.5 A 5/310 µs), and also industrial standards such as IEC 61000-4-5 (48 A 8/20 µs). Its capacitance of 13 pF maximum makes it compatible with Ethernet 100 Mbit/s without data distortion. ETP01 is available with 2 different voltages: 16 V for ETP01-1621 and 28 V for ETP01-2821. Its planar technology makes it compatible with telecom and industrial temperature ranges, as it can operate from -40 °C to 150 °C. More


2STCxxx/2STAxxx - new high-end audio power bipolar transistor family

The new 2STCxxxx and 2STAxxxx power bipolar transistor families are tailored for high-end power audio amplifiers. Based on the new BiT-LA technology, the new complementary pair devices offer a V(BR)CEO of up to 250 V and a collector current of up to 17 A. More
