STMicroelectronics has announced the introduction of a application development tool, the RLink, which enables debugging and programming across a complete range of ST’s 8-bit to 32-bit microcontroller families. Developed by Raisonance, this tool supports the ST7, 8051-based µPSD and ARM-based STR7 MC...

Low-end core

STMicroelectronics has introduced a low capacitance ESD protection device – available in a SOT-666 package as well as in the SOT-23 – which protects the two data lines and the power rail of a USB 2.0 interface. The 2.5pF (typical) line capacitance of the USBLC6-2P6 (SOT-666) and USBLC6-2SC6 (SOT-23)...
