STMicroelectronics has introduced new microcontroller chips designed to bring the same high-performance graphics enabling smartphone-like user interfaces in the world of wearable devices, smart appliances and other IoT (Internet of Things) applications.
The new STM32F469/479 microcontroller line delivers this new level of performance through the combination of ST’s Chrom-ART Accelerator and the MIPI-DSI technology that is widely deployed in leading smartphones and tablets, without higher cost or shorter battery-lifetime penalties.
Paving the way to enabling “smart objects” such as wearable fitness aids or intelligent home appliances, the new product line combines real-time processing performance with extended connectivity.
At the heart of the new product line is a powerful 32-bit low-power ARM Cortex-M4 MCU (Microcontroller Unit) core augmented by the Chrom-ART Accelerator and ART Accelerator that speed up graphics and real-time processing as well as access to the MCU’s program memories.
“Till now, equipment has often sacrificed graphics processing to meet the demands of real-time application processing,” said Michel Buffa, GM, Microcontroller Division, STMicroelectronics. “These new microcontrollers enable IoT products that meet today’s user expectations while remaining within the strict power, cost, and size constraints of applications that rely on embedded microcontrollers.”
