STMicroelectronics Showcases Cutting-Edge Technologies and Innovative Solutions at electronica China 2024 for Automotive, Industrial, Personal Electronics, and Cloud Infrastructure
STMicroelectronics, a leading semiconductor company that caters to various electronics applications globally, will be participating in electronica China 2024 (Booth E4.4600) from 8-10 July. With the theme "Our technology starts with You", ST will present a wide range of cutting-edge solutions for Automotive, Industrial, Personal Electronics, and Cloud Infrastructure. The exhibition will include more than 50 interactive demonstrations and advanced solutions designed to meet the changing demands of customers and the market.
In the field of automotive electronics, ST has over 30 years of experience and is known for being a reliable and innovative partner in the development of smart e-mobility. Their solutions cover all aspects of e-mobility, from electric powertrains to digital vehicle platforms, improving the safety, cleanliness, and technology of electric transportation. At the electronica China event, ST will be showcasing two electric vehicle models to demonstrate their complete automotive solutions. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore ST's various applications for car electrification and digitalization, including Powertrain for Electric Vehicles (EV), Chassis and Safety, Body and Convenience, and Telematics and Infotainment.
The automotive market in China is seeing a rise in electrification, particularly in the NEV sector. This growth is driving an increased need for convenient charging solutions for these vehicles. ST has developed a new automotive-charging solution that combines an On Board Charger (OBC) and DC-DC converter using STPOWER products. This solution is able to work with various power levels, such as 6.6kW, 11kW, and 22kW. It utilizes ST's Stellar E1 40nm microcontroller technology, which is based on the ARM architecture. This technology offers high efficiency and reliability, thanks to its powerful computing cores and analog components, as well as the highest level of functional safety.
ST will be presenting a new technology at electronica China called the ADAS – Intelligent Front View Camera Solution, which was created through a partnership with other companies. This solution utilizes various technologies from ST, such as the SPC58NN automotive MCU and the L9396 System Basis Chip (SBC). By combining these two components, customers can ensure that their advanced ADAS products meet the high safety standards of ASIL-D.
In response to growing concerns about climate change and rising energy costs, stakeholders worldwide, including governments, businesses, and individuals, are placing a high priority on adopting sustainable practices in the use of green energy. ST is leading the way in promoting a more environmentally friendly future by creating sustainable solutions through sustainable methods. At electronica China, visitors have the opportunity to see a unique "energy-wall" display showcasing a comprehensive hybrid energy system. This demonstration illustrates the entire process of energy conversion, from generation and storage to distribution and consumption, using various components such as PV solar panels, inverters, a Battery Management System (BMS), a bi-directional energy storage system, and EV charging systems.
Having dependable and effective power is extremely important for data centers that handle AI and cloud workloads. ST utilizes advanced technologies like STPOWER Gen3 SiC MOSFETs and silicon transistors (specifically high voltage MOSFETs and IGBTs), isolation gate drivers, precise op amps, current sensing amplifiers, and high-performance MCUs to present solutions that focus on increasing energy efficiency, reducing consumption, and lowering carbon emissions.
The use of Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI) has become common in new energy sectors like solar power and energy storage. At electronica China, ST will showcase their AFCI solution, which uses advanced edge-AI algorithms based on STM32H7 and STM32G4 MCUs to quickly detect arc faults. This AI algorithm, combined with STM32 technology, provides more precise results and lowers the chances of false alarms compared to traditional methods. By training the algorithm with on-site customer data and updating to the STM32 AFCI 2.0, even higher accuracy in detecting faults can be achieved.
In recent years, there has been a rise in the use of NFC technology in smartphones, leading many brands to use NFC to improve customer engagement and loyalty. Luxury brands and high-value products like luxury goods and art are utilizing more secure NFC tag solutions to prevent counterfeiting. At this event, ST is introducing their latest ST25TA-E NFC tag chip with advanced security features that includes on-chip ECDSA capabilities and compatibility with Blockchain standards. The ST25TA-E also features an ECC cryptographic engine, providing a more secure digital signature solution that can help with product identity verification and digital twinning.
Presented at the electronica China event, ST has introduced their latest third-generation dual full-scale MEMS pressure sensor. This sensor is encased in a sealed cylindrical package that can be mounted on the surface. It was demonstrated in a system that offers both high accuracy and low energy consumption to effectively measure water depth and altitude for various applications such as IoT, sports, and wearable devices. The sensor includes a ceramic base that is highly resistant to liquid penetration, as well as a durable potting gel that has been successful in automotive settings, to safeguard the internal electronics.
Enhancing user experience is essential for promoting ST's ongoing innovation. Demonstrated at electronica China, a smart cup detection system utilizing ST FlightSense Time-of-Flight technology can identify and measure cups of different sizes, shapes, and materials. It can also determine the position of the cups and the level of liquid inside, thanks to the Compact Normalized Histograms feature. This technology allows users to use cups of any size and shape confidently, without the risk of spills due to poor fitting.
We will be showcasing a binocular 3D camera that utilizes the ST BrightSense global-shutter image sensor. This sensor has recently been released on the market for anyone to purchase, after initially being provided to specific partners in quantities exceeding 1 billion units.
At the electronica China event, ST will be holding 6 informative presentations in addition to engaging demonstrations. These presentations will cover a variety of advanced topics and provide in-depth looks at the latest trends and innovations influencing the future of technology.
