ST is a global semiconductor company
with net revenues of US$ 6.90 billion
in 2015, offering one of the industry’s
broadest product portfolios. ST serves
customers across the spectrum of elec-
tronics applications with innovative semi-
conductor solutions for Smart Driving
and the Internet of Things.
ST’s Smart Driving products and solu-
tions are making driving safer, greener
and more connected through the fusion
of several of our technologies. Driving is
greener with our energy-management
processors, Power Electronics at the
heart of all automotive subsystems, Wide
Band-Gap technologies (SiC and GaN) for
electric cars, Sensors, and more.
Internet of Things solutions from ST are
for smarter personal devices, homes, cit-
ies, and manufacturing. ST is a leading
supplier of all the key technologies go-
ing into the next generations of per-
sonal consumer devices: Sensors, Micro-
controllers for low and ultra-low power
processing, Power and Analog compo-
nents, and RF & Connec-
tivity products. ST ad-
dresses the rise of the
smart home and smart
city systems through
their core: energy con-
sumption and manage-
ment systems, or the
future smart grids and
their applications.
ST provides a range of technologies ena-
bling manufacturing and other industrial
sectors to achieve better efficiency, flex-
ibility, and safety through automation
and robotics – this is what we call
smart
industry
. The current shift, often labelled
the “fourth industrial revolution” is mak-
ing industrial systems smarter with the
combined application of a broad range
of products, including Microcontrollers,
Sensors and Actuators, Motor Control,
Signal Conditioning, Industrial Commu-
nication Solutions, Power Supplies, Pro-
tection Devices, Wireless Modules, and
Display and LED Controllers. By getting
more from technology to get more from
life, ST stands for life.augmented.
ST has maintained an unwavering com-
mitment to R&D. Almost one fifth of its
employees work in R&D and product de-
sign and in 2015 the Company spent
about 21% of its revenue in R&D. Among
the industry’s most innovative companies,
ST owns almost 15,000 patents and pend-
ing applications corresponding to over
STMicroelectronics
9,000 patent families, including more than
500 original new patent applications filed
in 2015. The Company draws on a rich
pool of chip fabrication technologies, in-
cluding advanced FD-SOI (Fully Depleted
Silicon-on-Insulator), mixed-signal, analog
and power processes.
STMicroelectronics was one of the first
global industrial companies to recognize
the importance of environmental respon-
sibility and, over the past 15 years, the
Company’s sites have received more than
100 awards for excellence in all areas of
