ST STF Semiconductor Application Field
1. Automotive: Accelerate automotive system design. It is estimated that 80% of innovation in the automotive industry today is directly or indirectly achieved through electronic technology. As the vehicle functions of each new model continue to improve, this means that the semiconductor content of each vehicle continues to increase.
2. Communication equipment, computers, and peripheral devices: With the emergence of 5G services, the advancement of the Internet of Things and cloud services, the future is bright. In order to keep up with the tide of data, communication equipment must constantly improve, providing higher performance, flexibility, and reliability while maintaining high security and low power consumption.
3. Electronics: Electronic systems and devices are divided into subsystems, each designed to perform a specific set of functions that, when combined, can achieve a given goal. Although there are many ways to partition a system, a practical and effective approach is to consider the specific functionalities provided by each subsystem to the main system.
4. Industrial control: Industrial electronic products cover a wide range of applications, many of which are used in mature industries. Due to the introduction of new technologies and services related to the Internet of Things (IoT), these industries are experiencing new growth. Due to intelligent industrial initiatives, machines, factories, and workspaces have become more efficient.
5. Internet of Things applications: The Internet of Things (IoT) allows billions of networked intelligent devices to communicate with each other through almost ubiquitous Internet protocols. With the Internet of Things, almost any system can use the Internet and cloud computing ecosystem to innovate, and make various devices more intelligent and perceptive. High quality, reliable wireless connection and the widespread use of low-cost, low-power embedded components are promoting the development of the number of Internet connected devices. Although IoT devices come in various shapes and sizes, they always require the same functional building blocks: processing and security, sensing and driving, connectivity, signal conditioning, protection, and power and energy management.
6. Consumer electronics: Smartphones, tablets and e-readers, wearable devices, personal care and hygiene products, gaming devices, drones, audio and video devices, and virtual and augmented reality devices are all examples of personal electronic products.
