Catalogue marks silver jubilee
A new catalogue marks a quarter century of service to industry and further education.
All devices feature Flash memory and have integrated support features such as low voltage detector, readout protection, low power modes and built-in EMC features.
Within the ST7 family sits the ST7Lite range, low-cost, general purpose and flexible.
All devices use the same single-voltage Flash technology and are programmed using the same techniques and tools.

Chance to save money on assembly tools
During the week commencing 6th December 2004 Rapid is launching the latest in a series of promotions, this time focusing on hand and power tools.
They also share a common emulator and software development platform.
The STR7 range offers the power and flexibility of a 32bit microcontroller and is based on the leading ARM7TDMI 32bit RISC core.
Using STMicroelectronics' latest 0.18um embedded Flash technology, the range is designed for high performance, very low power consumption, and very dense code operations.
The STR710 range offers a comprehensive set of peripherals including USB and CAN, four 12bit A/D inputs and all are available in a choice of memory densities.
This family targets embedded control applications such as industrial control, factory automation, point-of-sale, medical and testing equipment, as well as telecomms and consumer applications.
Rapid also offers a range of starter kits for the ST7Flite family from Raisonance, which provides everything the developer needs to rapidly create, build and debug applications including the in-circuit programmer, evaluation board and full software tool chain.
For the STR7 there is a choice of cost-effective development boards also offering a complete hardware and software development platform.
The Columbus board is available in a choice of two versions, with different models of the microcontroller onboard.
The USB version incorporates the STR711FR2T6, whereas the CAN version contains the STR712FR2Y6.
Both boards contain Flash memory, RAM and serial EEPROM, multiple I/O ports and multiple input voltages.
There are a range of serial interfaces and detachable JTAG wiggler for in-circuit debugging.
The hardware platform has full software support including the Gnu compiler.
With the development engineer in mind, Rapid is supplying the STR7 series singly for testing.
For larger runs the company supplies packs of ten in packages which are sealed against moisture for infra-red reflow soldering.
Rapid is stocking the most popular memory densities of each family, and the rest are available on a short lead time. Request a free brochure from Rapid Electronics ...
