STMicroelectronics has been named the winner of the embedded world North America Best in Show Award. The company received recognition for its IIS3DWB10IS sensor and the STM32C5 microcontroller series.
Why it matters
This industry recognition highlights the current design focus on integrating specialized sensing and processing power for embedded system applications.
The STM32C5 microcontroller features an Arm Cortex-M33 core built on a 40 nm flash platform. It includes 1024 Kbytes of flash memory and 256 Kbytes of SRAM.
The players
STMicroelectronics
A global semiconductor firm that designs and manufactures integrated circuits and systems on a chip for industrial, automotive, and personal electronic applications.
Arm
A semiconductor design firm that develops the power-efficient instruction set architectures used by the STM32C5 microcontroller series.
The details
The STM32C5 series utilizes an Arm Cortex-M33 core, a low-power processor architecture commonly used in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, to handle computing tasks. The platform relies on a 40 nm, or nanometer-scale, fabrication process, which determines the physical dimensions of the components etched into the silicon. The embedded world Editorial Team selected the winners based on design excellence, relative performance, and market impact.
