Product and Technology



As a broad range semiconductor manufacturer our aim is to make products that are energy-efficient when used. Where possible, our designs comply with the US Energy Star programs, a government-backed energy efficiency initiative for electronic products.

In addition to energy saving applications, such as the stand-by feature on battery chargers, the latest generation of lighting lamps, audio amplification through pulse modulation, there are several other applications in the automotive sector that are making a significant contribution to minimizing environmental impacts.


EXAMPLE OF REUSE AND RECYCLING ACTIVITIES INCLUDE:


line
The ST soft computing team is working with Marelli and the Istituto Motori di Napoli on a hybrid car project using a fuel cell and gas. This extremely innovative solution will give performance comparable to a standard car with a petrol/diesel engine. The work is funded by the Italian government.
line
ST has worked on a system to reduce the energy needed for power-assisted steering which could produce 10% fuel savings under normal conditions. Our devices already used in several engine control systems optimize fuel consumption and reduce emissions.
