With the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the embedded systems that constitute the IoT nodes are growing in diversity. STMicroelectronics will showcase its latest solutions for embedded systems, including a Smart-Home demonstration that benefits from one of the industry’s richest IoT development ecosystems at Embedded Technology 2016.
In its Smart-Home demonstration, ST highlights technologies that lead to greater security, comfort, and energy efficiency in the home. The ST smart-home components include biometric authentication based on face-authentication modules, object and people-presence detection through Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors, temperature, humidity, and luminance detection through environmental sensors, and accelerometer-based vibration detection combined with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and LoRa connectivity ICs that enable remote management for each node.
These technologies will make homes smarter by enabling the presence detection of people in rooms, the detection of food in containers, storage and access to medicines and valuables, automated control of air conditioning and lighting, and detection of environmental conditions inside and outside the home. They are expected to trigger new services, including supervision services for seniors, protection against swallowing or misusing objects by children, and remote management of outdoor facilities.
The ST booth at Embedded Technology 2016 will feature a special corner allowing engineers to experience this development ecosystem. Visitors will get hands-on access to two types of STM32 MCU Nucleo boards, and eight types of X-Nucleo expansion boards equipped with a BLE-compatible network processor, drivers for brushless/brush/stepper motors, NFC tags, motion and environmental sensors, MEMS microphones, and proximity sensors.
The main building blocks of IoT devices and other embedded systems perform human functions, much as the brain, senses, nerves, muscles, and the immune system. ST addresses all of these with a portfolio of products.
In the IoT “brain” section, ST will showcase its new STM32H7 32-bit microcontroller (MCU) that exhibits the industry’s highest performance in the ARM Cortex-M class. The industry’s first ARM Cortex-M7 MCU running at 400MHz, it combines ST’s proprietary 40nm manufacturing process with an advanced design architecture.
