Compact, Convenient, STLINK-V3MINI Debug Probe from STMicroelectronics Accelerates STM32 Application Development

Geneva, July 23, 2019 — The STLINK-V3MINI probe, new from STMicroelectronics, combines the enhanced features of STLINK-V3SET with standalone simplicity for faster programming and ease of use, for an even more affordable price, at just $9.75.

The compact, portable probe can be used anywhere to upload and debug applications on STM32* microcontrollers. It leverages ST’s 14-pin STDC14 debug cable to support enhanced features including Virtual COM Port (VCP). VCP brings extra convenience and flexibility, such as easily observing runtime data on the host PC for faster, clearer debugging.

Mass-storage support is another feature of STLINK-V3MINI … Read More → "Compact, Convenient, STLINK-V3MINI Debug Probe from STMicroelectronics Accelerates STM32 Application Development"

Renesas Electronics Introduces Family of 15 Mbps Photocouplers with Industry Leading Features for Harsh Industrial Applications

TOKYO, Japan, July 23, 2019 – Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced three new 15 Mbps photocouplers designed to withstand the harsh operating environments of industrial and factory automation equipment. The trend toward higher voltage, compact systems is driving stricter International safety standards and eco-friendly solutions that require smaller ICs with lower power consumption. The RV1S9x60A family meets this need with best-in-class low threshold input current (IFHL) ratings: the RV1S9160A (SO5) operates at 2.0mA, the RV1S9060A (LSO5) at 2.2mA, and the RV1S9960A (LSDIP8) at 3.8mA.</ … Read More → "Renesas Electronics Introduces Family of 15 Mbps Photocouplers with Industry Leading Features for Harsh Industrial Applications"

Hyperloop contest: Infineon chips accelerate Technical University of Munich’s pod to fourth win in a row

Munich, Germany, 22 July, 2019 – Traveling at the speed of sound? The inventors of the Hyperloop believe that this will be possible someday. We would then travel in pods through a tube in a partial vacuum at speeds of up to 1,200 kilometers per hour. Engineers around the world are working on the technology.

During the night from Sunday to Monday, students from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) once again won the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition near Los Angeles, a speed competition for pod prototypes. Equipped with more than 420 Infineon chips, the pod reached 463.5 km/h. This speed would … Read More → "Hyperloop contest: Infineon chips accelerate Technical University of Munich’s pod to fourth win in a row"
