STMicroelectronics has now delivered more than one billion general-purpose STM32 microcontrollers based on ARM Cortex cores. In addition, ST has also passed the 500 million milestone for shipments of ST33 secure microcontrollers built around the ARM SecurCore SC300 processor.
ST’s early decision to create the STM32 range of microcontrollers around ARM cores has been a success, resulting in an unrivalled range of 32-bit microcontrollers that include performance enhancing innovations such as ST’s Adaptive Real-Time accelerators and its set of on-chip peripherals. These peripherals include low-power, high-performance analog functions and DSP extensions, among others.
The billion-plus devices shipped to date have been used in applications as varied as industrial, consumer, Internet of Things, mobile, and health, fitness and wearable applications. The range of microcontrollers covers computing needs that extend from ultra-low power consumption to high-performance embedded-computing engines.
“The scale of ST’s ARM-based microcontroller deployment is impressive when you consider our combined technologies are now in more than a billion devices,” said James McNiven, GM, CPU Group, ARM.
In addition to the ARM Cortex-M cores, ST uses many ARM cores as the basis for a wide range of products, from general-purpose and secure microcontrollers to the most advanced SoC (System-on-Chip) solutions for Smart Industry and the Smart Home. The ST31/ ST33 range of secure MCUs are all based on ARM SecurCore processors (SC000 and SC300, respectively) and cover many applications such as Embedded Secure Element and NFC SIM for mobile phones, bank cards, M2M (Machine-to-Machine), and electronic ID documents.
“ST and ARM have a close relationship that has benefited both companies and the wider technology ecosystem over the years,” said Claude Dardanne, EVP and GM, Microcontroller, Memory and Secure MCU Group STMicroelectronics. “By using ARM IP, we have been able to focus on our own key skills - listening to customers and delivering optimized silicon solutions.”
