This commonality enhances flexibility and allows developers to re-usesoftware in multiple designs. The communication interface selection is automated as the bootloaderdetects which peripheral is active.In addition to the new peripherals supporting enhanced connectivity, the STM32Connectivity Line also shares standard peripheral functions with other STM32devices. This signal can be used to adjust the clock of an externalaudio DAC, which eases synchronization of incoming and outgoing data instreaming audio applications using isochronous USB transfer.The STM32 Connectivity Line embeds a bootloader allowing programming of ablank or programmed device using USART, CAN, or USB DFU (Device FirmwareUpgrade). The STM32F107 Ethernet MACsupports MII and RMII, which enhances flexibility for designers to select theoptimum PHY chip.The USB OTG peripheral featured on all STM32 Connectivity Line devices is ableto generate a pulse at an external pin each time a Start Of Frame is detectedon the USB bus. Further information on ST can be found at Technical InformationThe STM32F105 and STM32F107 deliver additional benefits such as simplifyinghardware design by allowing a clock generated from the same 25MHz crystal usedto clock the entire device. A 25MHz or 50MHz clock output is also available,which can be used to clock the external Ethernet PHY thereby saving anadditional crystal to clock the external device.

Prices are from $2.90 in the 64Kbyte LQFP64 package up to$4.92 for 256Kbyte devices in the LQFP100, for quantities of 10,000 units.About STMicroelectronicsSTMicroelectronics is a global leader in developing and deliveringsemiconductor solutions across the spectrum of microelectronics applications.An unrivalled combination of silicon and system expertise, manufacturingstrength, Intellectual Property (IP) portfolio and strategic partnerspositions the Company at the forefront of System-on-Chip (SoC) technology andits products play a key role in enabling today’s convergence markets. These requirements will serveproducts targeting industrial, medical, appliance, consumer, andbuilding-services markets, such as PLCs, motor controls, patient monitors,motor controls, home audio, security systems, power meters and control panels.A total of 70 STM32 variants are now in production, deliveringpin-and-software compatible devices from 36MHz to 72MHz, with a broadselection of common peripherals to serve diverse applications, eight packageoptions and on-chip Flash density from 16Kbyte to 512Kbyte.The STM32F105 with 64Kbyte, 128Kbyte or 256Kbyte of embedded Flash, and theSTM32F107 with 128Kbyte or 256Kbyte, are available immediately in LQFP64 orLQFP100 packages. “With four STM32 families in fullproduction, a new ultra-low-power STM32L MCU platform now sampling to leadaccounts, and more innovations planned, our reliable roadmap enables customersto target established markets as well as emerging opportunities.”The STM32 Connectivity Line comprises 72MHz microcontrollers to fulfillrequirements such as network accessibility, data logging, USB connectivity andperipheral extension, or field upgradeability. Such features are required inhome-audio products such as docking systems, alarm-clock/music players, andhome theaters. The high processing power of the ARM Cortex-M3 allowsdevelopers to implement important functions such as the audio codec andhuman-interface functions such as display-data handling and the Play and Stopbuttons in software, thereby saving additional external components.”Our considerable expertise with ARM Cortex-M3 allows us to quickly introducenew products delivering the advantages of power-efficient operation, solidreal-time performance, and innovative shared peripherals to anindustry-standard core,” said Jim Nicholas, STMicroelectronicsMicrocontrollers Division Manager.

Dedicated buffers allow the USB OTG,the two CAN controllers and the Ethernet interfaces to operate simultaneouslyto satisfy communication-gateway applications, as well as a host of challengesrequiring flexible, industry-standard connectivity.Both families also support audio-class I2S communications which, combined withUSB host and SPI capability, allows the micro to read music files fromexternal storage such as a USB mass-storage device, an MP3 player , or SDcard, and decode and output audio via the I2S. Two variants areavailable, including the STM32F105 series combining a Full-Speed USB 2.0Host/Device/OTG peripheral and two CAN2.0B controllers with advanced filteringcapabilities. The STM32F107 family adds a complete 10/100 Ethernet MAC withhardware support for the IEEE1588 Precise Time Protocol, enabling Ethernetconnectivity for real-time applications.

Southern CompanyWith 4.4 million customers and more than 42,000 megawatts of generatingcapacity, Atlanta-based Southern Company (NYSE: SO) is the premier energycompany serving the Southeast.A leading U.S. MHI is the global leader in large scale post-combustion CO2capture from natural gas flue gas with five large commercially operatingplants and a further four plant coming on line in the next two years.

Our products are diverse, but they all have one thing in common, each of themis born out of our hunger for excellence and desire for customer satisfaction.We, at MHIA, create an environment for harmonious interaction between peopleand technology. From renewable green-focused powersystems, aerospace launch vehicles to passenger ships and much more. (MHIA), headquartered in New YorkCity, is a powerhouse that drives global business with cutting-edge researchand development across various industries.

“Our involvement inthis and other related projects is part of our commitment to be a leader infinding solutions that make technological, economic and environmental sense.”By completing projects such as this, the partners seek to better understandthe impacts of reducing carbon emissions from electricity generation. The Mitsubishi process has been demonstrated on a smallerscale at a coal-fired station in Japan, and is deployed commercially onnatural gas-fired systems around the world.”The main challenge facing deployment of carbon capture and sequestrationtechnology is demonstrating its effectiveness at a large scale,” said DavidRatcliffe, Southern Company Chairman, President and CEO. Our vision is two-fold with our capture technology: to become a leader inthe effort to reduce global CO2 emissions, and to optimize the use of ourtechnology to help us to be less dependent on foreign oil imports.” The MHI process offers significantly improved performance over the similartechnologies offered today, which ultimately lowers its overall cost impact toelectric utilities. “For every ton of CO2 the oil companies inject intoa depleting oil field, they get a return of several incremental barrels ofoil. “An additional benefit is that the captured CO2 could be used by the oil andgas industry for enhanced oil recovery, which helps to offset the cost ofcapture,” Morimoto added. Department of Energy’s SoutheastRegional Partnership Phase III sequestration program, the complete process ofcarbon capture and sequestration (CCS) will be demonstrated.Scheduled to bein operation by early 2011, the project will capture 500 metric tons of CO2per day and supply it for sequestration, or storage, in a deep undergroundsaline rock formation located beneath a nearby oil field.”We are very excited to be party to this important project that is thecritical next step in our development plans for full commercial deployment ofthe KM-CDR process(TM) for coal-based applications,” said Mitch Morimoto, MHIAPresident and CEO. The Mitsubishi systemwill be installed on an existing unit of Southern Company subsidiary AlabamaPower’s Plant Barry near Mobile, Ala., to capture carbon dioxide emissionsfrom the equivalent of 25 megawatts of generation capacity By pairing this project with the U.S.
