STMicroelectronics is launching a number of new products armed with enhanced performance, security, and customer support solutions, actively supporting customers to develop products that meet market trends in a timely manner.

On the 9th, ST held a press conference at the Novotel Ambassador in Gangnam-gu and launched three new devices, including the STM32MP13, STM32H5, and STM32WBA, and one STM32Trust TEE security solution.

Director Choi Kyung-hwa, who was in charge of the new product announcement, emphasized an efficient computing engine at the edge in cloud computing as the new product strategy for 2023.

Director Choi Kyung-hwa said that based on the Internet of Things, the autonomy of smart objects is expected to become more widespread, and at the same time, as the cloudization of everything becomes more widespread, cases where data is not only generated locally but also directly processed will increase significantly.

He also noted that billions of things will become safer, more connected and more intelligent.

Accordingly, ST presented three key growth factors: △Efficient compute engine at the edge based on the STM32 family and ecosystem, △Data protection at the edge, and △Next-generation ㎓ wireless RF front-end products at the edge and infrastructure level..

The new product released this time reflects these growth factors.

The STM32MP13 is a product that will lead ST's MPU product line in the future. In 2022, ST's MPU product line grew 100% year-on-year, establishing itself as a new growth engine for ST.

The newly released STM32MP13 is competitively priced at less than $4 and has a junction temperature of 125°C, enabling stable operation even in extreme industrial environments.

This is the fastest MP1 series ever, with a speed of up to 1 GHz based on Cortex-A7.

In particular, it is the first MPU to support embedded Linux and RTOS, allowing the use of the same software ecosystem, including the OpenSTLinux distribution.

It is also ST's first MPU to achieve SESIP Level 3 certification, protecting against critical physical and software attacks.

The STM32H5 is a STM32 MCU that delivers both performance and security, and is manufactured on ST’s new 40nm process. It provides enhanced security mechanisms such as a two-level Root of Trust through iRoT (immutable Root of Trust) and uRoT (updatable Root of Trust). This eliminates the need for developers to rely on external hardware security modules, giving embedded system experts much greater flexibility while maintaining the most basic aspects of their security policies.

STM32TrusTEE, the first security solution for MCP SoCs, simplifies embedded application development with ready-to-use protection. Developers can use security services developed following best practices without having to write or verify their own code.

The STM32WBA is a wireless STM32 MCU that doubles CPU speed compared to its predecessor and can minimize CPU intervention with autonomous low-power modes to maximize battery life.

It also supports Long Range mode, fast data rates up to 2Mbps, and advertising extension mode to optimize communication management. In addition to Bluetooth LE, it is also expected to support priority technologies such as OpenThread and Zigbee in the future.

Director Kyung-Hwa Choi said, “ST is providing various solutions to help customers quickly launch products that fit the time-to-market, and is continuously releasing products that will receive the security certifications required by the market.” He added, “We will work with various partners to provide various solutions and strive to become ST that customers can trust and seek out first.”
