ST’s STM32 MCU family won the “Best Product” Award in the “Microprocessor and DSP” category. Based on the advanced ARM Cortex-M3 core, controllers in the STM32 family can offer up to 512 Kbytes of on-chip Flash, a large SRAM and extra features for displays, sound, storage and advanced control, and low power consumption with multiple power-saving modes for optimal performance in a wide range of consumer and industrial products.
Nominated products were assessed and chosen as finalists by a panel of judges selected by the EDN China editorial team and containing a cross section of industry experts and specialists from China's leading OEM companies, academic institutes, universities and EDN China's editorial board. Readers and registered users of EDN China were then invited to vote for the winners in nine categories.
“We are very proud that STM32 won the Best Product Award of this year’s EDNC Innovation Award. Although STM32 was designed in Europe, it is widely accepted by Chinese engineers since it is voted by EDNC netizens and engineers,” said Arnaud Julienne, Director, Microcontrollers, Memories & Smartcards Group. “We are pleased that the STM32 has gained significant design-wins in the mass market of China. The applications into which China’s engineers are designing the STM32 demonstrate their world-class marketing and design skills.”
About EDN China Innovation Award 2008
The EDN Innovation Award was launched in Silicon Valley in 1990, to honor the innovative products and people in the electronics industry. As China has developed an electronic-design infrastructure over the years, an increasing number of innovative products have been introduced to China's markets. In order to facilitate a deeper understanding of advanced products and technology for Chinese electronic design engineers, EDN China introduced its Awards into China in 2005, and the recognition has become the most authoritative awards in the Chinese electronics design community. In 2008, 160 products from 74 companies were nominated to compete for the awards. Fifty one of these products, were selected as finalists by the judging panel.
