Our Microcontrollers Are Great For Digital Power Applications

Advanced Analogue Peripherals Allow More Sensors And User-friendly Features, Leading To Greater Cyber Security In The Iot Era. Vinay Thapliyal, Technical Marketing Manager, Mcu, India, STMicroelectronics Speaks With Deepshikha Shukla, Technology Journalist, Electronics For You, About How St’s New Mathematical Accelerators Are Increasing The Speeds Of Connected Devices, While Saving Energy.

EB: How can the processing capabilities of advanced electronic products be improved? The latest smart electronic products adopt higher-efficiency power technologies, such as silicon carbide or gallium nitride to save energy, and come with extra sensor-driven features. Hence, we have unleashed the next generation of microcontrollers STM32G4 with the performance to manage them. These have two new hardware mathematical accelerators to boost the processing of applications, using CORDIC and filtering functions among a range of features to support increased performance and energy efficiency. These microcontrollers are great for digital power applications as well as for consumer and industrial appliance applications.

There are also higher performing analogue peripherals and converters, with ultra-speed connections for a lightning-fast response to external events. These support the latest USB-C interface with power delivery, which allows fast charging and can easily power devices up to 100W.
