• ST Unveils ARM7 Microcontrollers with Full-spec Operation at 3.3V, 5V
  STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM) has extended its popular STR7 range of 32-bit microcontrollers based on the ARM7TDMI-S(TM) core with the introduction of the super-integrated STR750F family. The first general-purpose ARM7 Flash microcontrollers to support full-spec operation at both 3.3V and 5V, the new family delivers 54 MIPS (at 60MHz) performance while providing outstanding low power modes down to 12 micro A in STOP or 10 micro A in STANDBY modes, making it ideal for battery-operated applications. The ability to operate from either 3.3V or 5V gives maximum flexibility in electrically noisy environments without additional costs.



• Real-Time Virtualization Enhances Reliability, Security for Mobile Handsets
  Michel Gien, co-founder and executive vice president of corporate strategy of VirtualLogix, Inc., the global leader in Real-Time Virtualization(TM), will present at the ARM Developers' Conference in Santa Clara on Tuesday, October 3. Mr. Gien's presentation, "Hardware Virtualization Platform Helps Develop Mainstream, Linux-based Mobile Phones," will discuss how by partitioning and virtualizing hardware resources, the VirtualLogix VLX technology enables both real-time modem software and Linux to co-exist on the same processor and associated peripherals, without modifying already proven telephony stacks or applications.
• OMRON Subsidiary Targets Russian Industrial Automation Market
  OMRON Corporation (TSE: 6645, US: OMRNY), a global leader in factory automation, sensing and control technologies, has established OOO OMRON ELECTRONICS ('OEE-RUS'), a wholly owned subsidiary of OMRON's Industrial Automation Business ('IAB') in Moscow, Russia.
