STMicroelectronics' two new microcontroller product lines enhance the energy efficiency, functional integration and design flexibility of the STM32F4 basic product line high-end products to meet the technical requirements of high-performance embedded design. These STM32's latest microcontrollers operate at temperatures up to 125 ° C [1], featuring always-on sensors and general industrial equipment, providing a robust, reliable and cost-effective system upgrade for STM32F1 applications [2].

Linear introduces the LTC3897, a multiphase synchronous boost DC/DC controller with an input surge suppressor and an ideal diode controller. The boost controller drives two N-channel power MOSFET stages out of phase to reduce input and output capacitor requirements, allowing the use of inductors that are smaller than comparable single-phase solutions.
