Maud Vinet, CEO and co-founder of Quobly, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They discuss the company's mission to build large-scale quantum computers based on silicon qubits. Maud explains how silicon offers unique advantages in scalability, leveraging decades of semiconductor expertise, and why the biggest challenge lies in qubit control rather than fabrication yield. Maud shares insights on her transition from semiconductor R&D to quantum computing, the partnerships Quobly has formed with fabs like STMicroelectronics, the anticipated timeline for achieving significant qubit counts, and much more.

Physicienne de formation, Maud Vinet est l'une des figures clés du quantique en France. Fondatrice et PDG de Quobly, elle ambitionne de faire de cette start-up un leader des processeurs quantiques basés sur le silicium, une approche qui pourrait bouleverser l'industrie des semi-conducteurs. Diplômée de l'École normale supérieure et titulaire d'un doctorat en physique appliquée, elle débute sa carrière au CEA-Leti, l'un des principaux laboratoires mondiaux en microélectronique. Dans un secteur où la loi de Moore – cette règle selon laquelle la puissance des puces double tous les deux ans – semble atteindre ses limites, Maud Vinet perçoit très tôt l'opportunité du quantique. À la tête de plusieurs programmes de recherche au Leti, elle explore les transistors en silicium comme base pour des qubits, ces unités élémentaires de calcul quantique.En 2023, forte de plus de vingt ans d'expertise en microélectronique, Maud franchit un cap en cofondant Quobly (ex-Siquance). L'idée est simple : utiliser le silicium, matériau déjà au cœur de l'industrie des semi-conducteurs, pour développer des processeurs quantiques compatibles avec les infrastructures existantes. Un choix stratégique qui s'oppose aux approches plus exotiques du quantique (supraconducteurs, photons) et qui pourrait accélérer l'industrialisation de cette technologie de rupture.Dans un contexte de souveraineté technologique et de compétition accrue avec les États-Unis et la Chine, Quobly bénéficie du soutien des grands acteurs français et européens du semi-conducteur, notamment STMicroelectronics. Maud s'impose ainsi comme une voix influente du quantique made in Europe, plaidant pour une approche pragmatique et industrialisable du secteur. Hébergé par Acast.

Alberto Roldán, profesor de finanzas y economía y consejero de New Growth Capital, analiza cómo se han comportado Philips, HSBC, BP, Carrefou o STMicroelectronics.

El foco del mercado se aleja, temporalmente, del frente geoestratégico y la atención vuelve a la macro y a los resultados empresariales. Y a los bancos centrales. Importantes declaraciones hoy desde el BCE. La alemana Isabel Schabel quiere que el eurobanco empiece ya a debatir un pausa en los recortes de tipos de interés. Asegura que la dirección del viaje monetario ya no está tan clara. Por su parte, Fabio Panetta, gobernador del banco central italiano, afirma que el crecimiento es más débil de lo que se temía y que la recuperación impulsada por el consumo no se está materializando. Difieren una y otro también sobre la evolución de la inflación. Más unanimidad se demuestra en la Reserva Federal por los últimos comentarios de sus representantes. Hoy atentos a las actas de su última reunión. Hay caídas en Bolsas europeas y subidas de los rendimientos de los bonos. Gana sector energético por subida en precios del petróleo. BP estaría considerando la venta de su negocio de lubricantes, Castrol. Philips se hunde tras resultados. Y cambios en recomendación hacen ganar a la minera Antofagasta y a la tecnológica Stmicroelectronics. En Bolsa española, y dentro del Ibex 35, Indra, Redeia e Iberdrola son los valores que más suben. Al frente de los recortes están ArcelorMittal, Sacyr e Inditex. Esta hora el análisis es de Gabriel López, de Inverdif.

This week's EYE ON NPI is neither-here-nor-there - it's STMicroelectronics' ST25R200 NFC/HF RFID Reader IC (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/st25r200-nfc-hf-rfid-reader-ic) a simple but powerful NFC/RFID reader and writer chip that will let you add a contactless interface to your next design. Thanks to the high power RF stage and dual antenna support, you can avoid the frustration of "where do I tap??" by giving you plenty of surface area for successful transactions. We're big fans of intuitive RFID/NFC interfaces using tags, they come in all sorts of sizes and shapes (https://www.adafruit.com/product/365) from standard business cards to microtags that can fit in a manicure (https://www.adafruit.com/product/2800). They don't require a battery, and can store up to a few KB of data, including encrypted/secured data sections so as to make the tag 'trustworthy'. They're often used for small-money transactions like copy shops, laundromats and public transport, where speed is important and we can store value on the card. Or for identification like access cards. With proper design, they'll work up to 4 inches away from a reader, don't suffer from corrosion or contact wear or affected by water/humidity. Reading and writing RFID/NFC tags, which use 13.56MHz as a carrier frequency, requires a proper chip that can handle the requirements of blasting enough RF signal to 'power' the tag, then transmit a command and receive the response before the quiescent power runs out. If you have a big antenna, this isn't too hard - but the real challenge is to manage it with a small antenna. That's the nice thing about the ST25R200 (https://www.digikey.com/short/5ttf9ptj) - it has powerful output drivers so even mini wearable-sized antennas work well. You can configure the outputs to be one differential or two single-ended antenna coils. If you want to design your PCB antenna, we recommend ST's website for NFC inductance calculations (https://eds.st.com/antenna/#/) it will let you determine the inductance based on width, height, copper thickness and trace width so you get maximum power transfer. The ST25R200's connection to the controller is over standard 4-pin SPI, so you can use any microcontroller or microcomputer with 4 pins available. An IRQ line is also handy to 'wake on card detect'. Other than that, the interface is fairly low level: registers are used to configure the RF section and encoding but otherwise, data is transmitted or received via two FIFO buffers. This makes the chip easy to adapt to the various sub-protocols and standards (https://nfc-forum.org/build/specifications) designed by competing RFID companies: ISFO14443A/NFC-A, ISO14443B/NFC-B, ISO15693/NFC-V, NFC Forum T1T, T2T, T4T, and T5T tag types, and proprietary protocols, such as Kovio, CTS, and B'. In order to make your life easier when it comes to implementation, ST has released RFAL an RF/NFC abstraction layer (https://www.st.com/en/embedded-software/stsw-st25rfal004.html) that is written in pure C so that it can be ported to any platform or compiler. To get started quickly we recommend the STEVAL-25R200SA evaluation board (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STEVAL-25R200SA/25701817) which comes with a USB debug STLink interface, SMTable module, 4 pluggable antenna options including one flex PCB printed antenna, and two micro-tags for testing. If you want to integrate RFID/NFC 'touchless' support to your next design, the ST ST25R200 NFC/HF RFID Reader IC (https://www.digikey.com/short/5ttf9ptj) is small, inexpensive, and fast to get started with minimal external components, and ready-to-go drivers. And best of all the chips are in stock right now at DigiKey for immediate shipment. Order the ST25R200 (https://www.digikey.com/short/5ttf9ptj) and an eval board today and you can tap your way to contactless communication by tomorrow afternoon!

APAC stocks were ultimately mixed amid the ongoing mass closures in the region and after the choppy performance stateside in reaction to the FOMC, while the first earnings results from the magnificent 7 stocks were also varied - Meta +2.3%, Microsoft -4.6%, and Tesla +4.1%.An immediate hawkish reaction was seen as the Fed held rates at 4.25-4.50%, as expected, while it removed the reference that "inflation has made progress toward the Committee's 2 percent objective" in the accompanying statement.However, Fed Chair Powell later noted in the Q&A that it was a language clean-up, as opposed to anything fundamental, which saw a dovish reversal to the initial moves.US President Trump said because the Fed and Chair Powell failed to stop problem they created with inflation, he will do it by unleashing American energy production slashing regulation, rebalancing international trade, and reigniting American manufacturing.Looking ahead, highlights include Swiss KOF, Spanish CPI (Flash), EZ GDP (Q4), US GDP Advance (Q4), PCE Prices Advance (Q4), Jobless Claims, Japanese Tokyo CPI & Retail Sales, ECB & SARB Policy Announcements, Comments from ECB President Lagarde, Supply from ItalyEarnings from Nokia, Roche, ABB, H&M, BT, Shell, Sage, STMicroelectronics, Sanofi, Deutsche Bank, Apple, Intel, Visa, US Steel, UPS, Mastercard, Blackstone, Caterpillar, Cigna & Mobileye.Read the full report covering Equities, Forex, Fixed Income, Commodites and more on Newsquawk

Après un début de journée en demi-teinte, le CAC 40 a clôturé la séance en baisse de 0,9%, s'établissant à 7367 points. Une performance décevante qui contraste avec les chiffres solides de l'emploi américain publiés vendredi dernier. En effet, ces données positives sur le marché du travail aux États-Unis réduisent l'hypothèse d'une baisse des taux d'intérêt outre-Atlantique cette année, ce qui n'a pas vraiment réjoui les investisseurs.Dans ce contexte, on note des performances contrastées parmi les valeurs phares de la cote parisienne. Ainsi, le titre STMicroelectronics a perdu 3,5%, tandis que Stellantis a cédé 2,6%. À l'inverse, le géant pétrolier Total Energy a gagné 0,7%, tiré par la forte hausse des cours du brut après les nouvelles sanctions américaines contre le pétrole russe. Le Brent s'échange désormais autour de 91 dollars le baril.Cette tendance mitigée ne se limite pas à la place parisienne, puisque les autres places européennes ont également terminé dans le rouge. Francfort a perdu 0,4%, tandis que Londres a cédé 0,9%. Un début de semaine qui laisse les investisseurs dans l'expectative, alors que les tensions géopolitiques et les incertitudes économiques continuent de peser sur le sentiment du marché.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.

This week's EYE ON NPI is having Too Much Fun - it's the ams OSRAM TMF8806 Single-Zone direct Time of Flight sensor (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/ams/tmf8806-single-zone-tof) the latest in ams' series of ToF sensors. This sensor may seem like "YAToF" but there's a few things that caught our eye. One is the excellent pricing, about $2 in quantity. Another is the simplicity of function: unlike many ToF sensors, there isn't a massive firmware stack required to load on each boot. Instead, the default firmware is in ROM for a lightweight interface. We've stocked ToF sensors (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=tof) for quite a while - mostly the ST VL series. These sensors have developed quite a bit over the years, starting with the 100mm-range VL6180 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/3316) and continuing onto multi-grid devices that we've covered on previous EYE ON NPI's (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PocFz427NE). The way these work is by blasting laser pulses out of a VCSEL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical-cavity_surface-emitting_laser) which then bounces off of the target and the 'time of flight' is measured in the pF range to give accuracy and range. Easy to describe, but non-trivial to implement...the light doesn't bounce off perfectly, and a lot of individualy measurements need to be taken and then averaged - this is called the histogram. The histogram data is filtered in software to toss outliers and double-bounces, to get the 'true' calibrated distance. And it has to do this dozens of times a second. The complexity of the algorithm is what gives each product its accuracy, precision, repeatability and range - so its no surprise that its running on an in-package microcontroller. However, as the sensors have gotten more advanced, the firmware process has also gotten complex: for many ToF sensors you have to 'load' the firmware algorithm on boot (https://github.com/STMicroelectronics/stm32-vl53l5cx/blob/main/modules/vl53l5cx_buffers.h#L33) and even if you don't, its a non-trivial port to other platform. That's what caught our eye for the ams OSRAM TMF8806 (https://www.digikey.com/short/f9v8w20d), the description specifies "No FW download is required to operate this device, saving host MCU memory space, reducing startup time, and saving overall system power by enabling customers to quickly start the device and make measurements in a few milliseconds". The interface is trivial, they even provide the I2C commands required to boot, load firmware, and perform a reading, its about a dozen commands. For hardware, it's also a nice and simple integration - with a small OLGA package, I2C communication, and 1.8V or 3.3V logic level. One thing to watch for, the sensor comes with 3 'modes' - short, medium and long range. Minimum range for all of these is 10mm, the max is 200, 2500 or 5000mm. And,while the sensor can do 5000mm, it requires pretty specific calibration and lighting. The default range is 2500 and we recommend sticking to that if you can because then you get the benefit of built-in configuration and calibration for speed/simplicity. To get started fast, ams OSRAM supplies multiple drivers for Arduino or other C microcontrollers (https://github.com/ams-OSRAM/tmf8806_driver_arduino), generic Python (https://github.com/ams-OSRAM/tmf8806_driver_python) and Linux kernel (https://github.com/ams-OSRAM/tmf8806_driver_linux). You can also grab an eval board in 'shield' format that has a microcontroller for plug-and play usage (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/ams-osram-usa-inc/TMF8806-EVM-EB-SHIELD/24768739) Add low power, super fast ToF sensing to your next design with the ams OSRAM TMF8806 Single-Zone direct Time of Flight sensor (https://www.digikey.com/short/f9v8w20d), in stock for immediate shipment from DigiKey! Order today and it will ship to you at pico-second speed, so that you can be integrating it by tomorrow morning.

This week's EYE ON NPI has some Nice Freakin' Chips - it's STMicroelectronics' NFC Smart Tag Set, (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/st25-tag-bag-ut1-nfc-tag-set) with a cornucopia of labels, stickers, cards and tags that feature ST's Near Field Communication (NFC) chipsets, each with a matching antenna. This 18-piece kit is a great way to evaluate the different materials that NFC tags can be embedded in as well as verify that your NFC reader chipset works at the desired distances. NFC is built on top of the 'RFID' tags you're probably familiar with, unlike read-only RFID tags, NFC has bi-directional communication which means you can write values to the tags which makes them universal. For example, instead of having to manage a separate database that maps the 64-bit RFID value to a product SKU, the SKU itself can be written directly into the non-volatile memory on chip. Stuff like urls, timestamps, account balances, and sensor logs can go straight into the chip for anyone to access - or only for users with the correct password-unlock-code. NFC tags, stickers and cards are an upgrade from iButtons (https://www.analog.com/en/product-category/ibutton-products.html) -- less clunky, do not need to make electrical contact, magnetic stripe cards (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_card) -- can hold more information, are less flakey, don't delaminate or demagnetize, or barcodes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcode) -- need good light for optical reading, can be sluggish, very limited amount of data. Since NFC chips have bi-directional communication, plus built in encryption and writable memory, without any battery, they need to harvest energy from RF waves. That means that the the antenna is used for both data and energy and needs to be both tuned to the chip's internal capacitance as well as maximized in order to get the most E field possible (https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an2866-how-to-design-a-1356-mhz-customized-antenna-for-st25-nfc--rfid-tags-stmicroelectronics.pdf). So, in general, the bigger the antenna the 'better' performance you'll get: shorter taps, less finicky alignment, and farther functionality. However - of course, you've got a bigger surface area for the tag. Here's the sizes that come in the ST NFC Smart Tag Set (https://www.digikey.com/short/rf5ddb3c): Three ST25TV02KC (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TV02KC-TFH3/18085938), 23 pF, tamper enabled label, 35 mm diameter Three ST25TN01K (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TN01K-AFH5/15775849), 50 pF, smart label, 30 mm diameter Three ST25TV02KC (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TV02KC-TFH3/18085938), 99 pF, smart label, 17 mm diameter Three ST25TV02KC (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TV02KC-TFH3/18085938), 23 pF, smart label, 50 mm x 50 mm Three ST25TV02KC (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TV02KC-TFH3/18085938), 23 pF, on-metal tag, 30 mm x 30 mm One ST25TV02KC (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TV02KC-TFH3/18085938), 23 pF, button tag, 22 mm diameter One ST25TN01K (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TN01K-AFH5/15775849), 50 pF, card, 85 mm x 54 mm One ST25TV02KC (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/ST25TV02KC-TFH3/18085938), 23 pF, NFC field detector with LED indicator, 85 mm x 54 mm A nifty feature we saw in the datasheet for the ST25 (https://www.st.com/en/nfc/st25tv-series-nfc-tags.html) is the "tamper detection" capability. Normally to make sure that the end-recipient can detect whether a box was opened in transit is to use a tamper detection sticker that tears when removed. Instead of needing two stickers, or even just relying on a human to properly detect the tampering, the ST25 chips have two extra contacts that can connect to a thin wire switch. When the sticker is moved the thin wire is broken and the chip will detect it. Since we can use encryption/authentication on the ST25, the tamper sticker tag can't be replaced. And, when using a digital logging system, it will automatically record the tamper without a person being able to fudge the reading. If you want to get started with integrating STMicroelectronics' ST25T NFC chips (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/filter/rfid-rf-access-monitoring-ics/880?s=N4IgjCBcoLQCxVAYygMwIYBsDOBTANCAG4B2aWehA9lANogDsAnGKyALqEAOALlCCAC%20woA) or tags into your product authentication/identification, access or inventory management, data logging, or asset tracking, then the NFC Smart Tag Set (https://www.digikey.com/short/rf5ddb3c) is a quick and easy way to get a wide range of stickers and cards to try out. Order today and DigiKey will pick, pack and post your order you'll have these tags in hand by tomorrow afternoon.

This week's EYE ON NPI gyres and gimbels through the wave. It's the latest LSM6DS 6-axis accelerometer + gyroscope IMU from STMicroelectronics. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/lsm6dsv32x-6-axis-imu). This latest update to the LSM6DS line is packed with features such as I3C, step counter, Qvar electrostatic sensing, finite state machine, AI 'learning core' and embedded sensor fusion so not only are you getting an IMU but a full user interface and sensor management hub. We've been stocking and using the LSM6DS series for many years: starting with the LSM6DS33 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4480) a great low cost 6-DoF to the LSM6DS3C-TR replacement (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4503) to the fancy-pants LSM6DSOX (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4438). These are pin-compatible, and nearly-firmware-compatible sensors that are compact, sensitive and precise. In particular, what we look for in a good IMU chip is the gyro offset and drift. When making an inertial measurement unit (IMU) especially one used for orientation calculations, the quality of the gyroscope has a big impact on the jitter/speed/drift. (https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-sensorlab-gyroscope-calibration/comparing-gyroscopes) Accelerometers are pretty good quality these days, we've figured out how to make them decades ago. And magnetometers are not as important - they don't update often and are used for orientation correction. Gyro's have the most error possibilities. In general, the more you pay, and the newer the sensor, the better performance you'll get in the form of low offset and low drift. The LSM6DSV32X has similar gyro/accel characteristics from the LSM6DSOX and ISM330DHCX - although we'll note the min/max is not documented, just the typical values. And there's some ISM330 parameters such as Angular random walk and Bias Instability, that are not specified. That said, as long as you're good on calibration, and the specs are within your limits, the embedded functions are where the LSM6DSV32X really shines. Like many ST accelerometers, there's a built in pedometer (https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_LSM6DS/blob/master/examples/adafruit_lsm6ds_pedometer/adafruit_lsm6ds_pedometer.ino) as well as a tilt / motion sensor. The first is good for step counting, the second lets the sensor go into a low power state and set an interrupt pin when the device is moved or tilted to wake up the rest of the UI. The more advanced functions include a 'machine learning core' (https://www.st.com/resource/en/application_note/an5804-lsm6dsv16x-machine-learning-core-stmicroelectronics.pdf). We use that term lightly because it's more like a 'decision tree' where you can set up test conditionals post-normalization/filtering to classify simple motion states such as "running", "sitting" "lying down". These won't be as flexible as a true machine-learning algorithm that uses sample data to create a model, but you also don't have to spend any power or computation. Another advanced feature ST has been adding to many of their chips is Qvar electric charge variation detection sensing. This ultra-sensitive capacitance-like sensing can be used for human presence and motion detection, as well as touch/proximity detection. The eval board comes with a few Qvar plates for trying it as a slide or touch sensor as well as a 'radar' like proximity detector. (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STEVAL-MKI240KA/22522578) This could be nice to use if you've got a microcontroller that does not have touch sensing peripherals, since now you don't need a separate chip. The new feature we're most interested in is the "Sensor fusion low power" block - which can output a game rotation vector in quaternions, that gives the chip attitude (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orientation_(geometry)) direct from the sensor, without needing to continuously read/buffer/analyze the 6-DoF data. We'll note that there's no magnetometer, so it won't have 'absolute' orientation against the earth, but for many use cases a rough orientation - especially one that is self-driving and low power - will suffice. We'll note that for getting started, the LSM6DSV16X library on GitHub has examples for this and the other embedded features. (https://github.com/stm32duino/LSM6DSV16X) If you want to try out the new ST LSM6DSV32X 6-Axis IMU with 32 g Accelerometer (https://www.digikey.com/short/bhq3bwhf) or it's smaller sibling, the LSM6DSV16X (https://www.digikey.com/short/524744wt) both are available and in stock from DigiKey right now. Pick the 16g version if you're doing every-day motion sensing and 32g for sports / high speed activities. The eval board is also available and great if you want to start fast and also check out the new Qvar sensor feature (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STEVAL-MKI240KA/22522578). Order today and you will be ready to integrate the latest IMU into your design by tomorrow afternoon.

Esce dalle urne indebolita ma non travolta la maggioranza popolare-socialista-liberale che ha governato l'Unione europea negli ultimi cinque anni. Le proiezioni elettorali pubblicate nella notte hanno mostrato una tenuta del centro, rispetto ai partiti più estremisti, lasciando presagire una conferma di Ursula von der Leyen alla guida della Commissione europea. Dietro ai risultati a livello continentale, si nasconde la pesante sconfitta politica dei governi in Germania e Francia.Gli scenari: I dati vanno presi con cautela. Non solo perché non sono definitivi, ma anche perché rispecchiano la composizione dei gruppi nella legislatura che si è appena chiusa. Non possiamo escludere cambiamenti. I gruppi dovranno riunirsi da qui alla prima riunione plenaria del nuovo parlamento, attesa a metà luglio, per sancire la loro nuova composizione. Su alcuni partiti corrono non poche voci: la N-VA belga potrebbe lasciare i conservatori per approdare con i popolari, per esempio.Oltre a un possibile rimpasto tra i gruppi parlamentari esistenti, ci sarebbero circa 100 deputati che per ora non siedono in alcuna formazione politica. Tra questi, i deputati di Fidesz, il partito nazionalista del premier ungherese Viktor Orbán. Alcuni di questi potrebbero rimanere tra i non-iscritti, altri potrebbero invece approdare in uno dei gruppi. Ricordiamo che per formare un gruppo parlamentare sono necessari almeno 23 deputati provenienti da almeno sette Paesi membri.Anche perché il premier ungherese ha subito una battuta d'arresto: Fidesz, partito al governo in Ungheria, si è piazzato primo con il 43,7% dei voti ma in calo di circa otto punti percentuali rispetto a cinque anni fa. Fa incetta di voti Tisza, partito dell'ex dirigente di Fidesz, Peter Magyar, divenuto nel giro di poche settimane l'astro nascente dell'opposizione nel Paese: Tisza si è aggiudicato il 31,07% dei consensi.Ne parliamo con Sergio Nava, Radio24, e Giulio Sapelli, Università Statale Milano.Elezioni Italia, amministrative ed europeeIn Italia, ieri e l'altroieri, si è votato sia per le Europee sia, in alcune parti del Paese, per le amministrative. Alberto Cirio si conferma governatore del Piemonte, mentre Firenze e Bari si preparano per il ballottaggio tra candidati di centrosinistra e centrodestra. A Cagliari e a Bergamo il centrosinistra vince al primo turno.Ne parliamo con Valentina Furlanetto, Radio24.Borse in calo dopo voto Ue. Rendimenti BTp al top, incertezze Francia-GermaniaSeduta in netto calo le Borse europee all indomani della tornata elettorale per rieleggere i rappresentati del Parlamento europeo, che ha visto un avanzata dei partiti di estrema destra, anche se ha resistito la maggioranza Ursula , ovvero l alleanza popolare-socialista-liberale che ha governato l Unione europea negli ultimi cinque anni. Così il FTSE MIB -0,76% di Milano cede circa un punto, mentre poco meglio fanno il DAX 40 -0,60% di Francoforte, l IBEX 35 -0,61% di Madrid e l AEX -0,21% di Amsterdam. Il CAC 40 -1,81% di Parigi è il peggiore, con un ribasso arrivato anche oltre i 2 punti e le grandi banche a pagare il conto più salato (Credit Agricole cede oltre 4 punti, Bnp Paribas e Societe Generale più di 6 punti), dopo che il presidente francese Emmanuel Macron ha deciso di sciogliere l Assemblea Nazionale e chiesto un voto anticipato a seguito della vittoria schiacciante del partito di estrema destra di Marine Le Pen. In giornata non sono attesi dati macroeconomici di rilievo, mentre in settimana gli investitori guarderanno in particolare all inflazione americana, che sarà diffusa mercoledì, e alla riunione della Federal Reserve in calendario per lo stesso giorno, a cui seguirà la conferenza stampa del presidente Jerome Powell.

This week's EYE ON NPI will take you for a SPIN around the block - it's STMicroelectronics' STSPIN32G0 Three-Phase BLDC Controller (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stspin32g0-three-phase-bldc-controller) series of chips, featuring 250 or 600 V three-phase BLDC FET controllers with integrated embedded STM32 MCU! These chips are an 'all in one' solution to advanced motor control when you want to have sensors and tight integration, or a super tiny footprint. As budding robotics hobbyists, we've designed and stocked many products - like this Motor Shield (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1438) - to support a variety of small DC motors. Some well known varieties are: Hobby Servos, DC brushed motors, and steppers. Hobby servos are actually just DC brushed motors with a feedback circuit, so we'll ignore those. DC brushed motors are simple: apply a positive DC voltage to the two wires, and the rotor spins one way. Apply a negative voltage, they spin the other way. As you can expect from the name, inside are brushes, that connect from the rotating center to the two permanent magnets on the outer diameter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushed_DC_electric_motor). This makes them inexpensive, and very easy to use: simply PWM the voltage to change the speed, invert the voltage to change direction. Nothing more complex than an H-bridge is required. But the brushes do eventually wear out, or oxidize, or splinter. Which means the motors will eventually 'die' and need replacement. Fine for toys and simple products that have low usage, but not appropriate for white goods or automotive or anything where life-time and reliability are essential! Stepper motors are a tad more complex: in order to have precise movement, they use a bank of 4 electromagnetic coils to 'step' the axle around a little bit at a time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepper_motor). No brushes to replace! But they don't rotate fast: the point is they have small accurate steps, and they're kinda expensive. What if we could combine DC brushed motors and steppers to create... Brushless DC Motors? Wow, so smart! That's exactly what a BLDC is, a DC motor that has no brushes, but does have multiple windings that have to be synchronized right to rotate. They're a little more expensive than brushed motors, but not significantly. The biggest cost increase is in the driver complexity because you need to drive and sequence three branches, whereas the commutator/brushes on a brushed motor handles that for you. Normally folks will use their favorite microcontroller, then wire it up to a BLDC driver (https://www.digikey.com/short/3bf72p89), like the L6235Q (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/L6235QTR/2772201) which can push 2.5A per-bridge at up to 52V. But, wouldn't it be nifty if you didn't have to do any wiring, so that even for small designs, you can have a fully integrated motor controller with your main microcontroller. Or, you could use the microcontroller as an I2C or SPI peripheral that integrates the temperature/current/voltage/torque monitoring that you would normally have to manage as a interrupt-run thread on a main core. That's what we've got here with the STSPIN32G0 Three-Phase BLDC Controller (https://www.digikey.com/short/977t8ftv) series of chips. It's a ARM Cortex M0 STM32G031C8 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/STM32G031C8U6/10300273) running at 64MHz and 64K flash / 8K SRAM, with standard peripherals, debug, and even some 5V-friendly GPIO. Inside, the STM is bonded to the control circuitry so that 3 sides are used for microcontroller interfacing, and the fourth side is high-voltage friendly with separated pads. Program it just like any other STM32G031C8, and just define the motor control pins to the bonded wires. And then you'll need to connect the 6 power IGBT/FETs to create the 3 driving half-bridges such as STGD6M65DF2 (https://www.digikey.com/short/7dwq7zw2) Are you ready to have a super-integrated BLDC driver board that comes with a top-notch Cortex-M0 and all the power-driving experience ST has to offer? You're in luck because the STSPIN32G0 Three-Phase BLDC Controller (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stspin32g0-three-phase-bldc-controller) is in stock right now at DigiKey for immediate shipment. Check out the all-in-one EVSPIN32G06Q1S1 eval board (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/EVSPIN32G06Q1S1/22470459) if you want to immediately start testing out the STSPIN32G0. Then place your order today so you can start putting your own spin on motor driving by tomorrow afternoon.

Il Ftse Mib ha toccato i 34mila punti, ai massimi dal 2008 (per poi scendere sotto la quota raggiunta), nonostante il calo tecnico in avvio dello 0,11% dovuto allo stacco di dividendo da parte di Eni e di StMicroelectronics. Le Borse corrono, si entusiasmano, trovano nuovi stimoli. Prima la sanità, poi i Bitcoin, ora l'intelligenza artificiale e le banche, nel caso dell'Italia. A livello domestico, Piazza Affari rappresenta «una sorpresa» per molti operatori storici dell'asset management. I quali si chiedono se la marginalità degli istituti di credito italiani, sull'onda dei rialzi dei tassi d'interesse da parte della Banca centrale europea (Bce), potrà continuare a foraggiare il mercato. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore di NewsMondo.it.Tre milioni di posti in più ma mancano i lavoratoriServiranno oltre tre milioni di occupati in più nei prossimi cinque anni. Circa 670mila in Lombardia e più di 350mila nel Lazio, una delle regioni dove oggi le aziende esprimono il maggior fabbisogno di personale. Le altre sono Campania, Veneto ed Emilia-Romagna. Ma sarà difficile trovare i lavoratori. Dal report di Unioncamere e ministero del Lavoro sulle "Previsioni dei fabbisogni occupazionali e professionali in Italia a medio termine", aggiornato al quinquennio 2024-2028 ed elaborato nell'ambito del sistema informativo Excelsior, emerge che tra il 2024 e il 2028 il mercato del lavoro italiano potrà esprimere un fabbisogno compreso tra 3,1 e 3,6 milioni di occupati, a seconda dello scenario macroeconomico considerato. Ne parliamo con Andrea Prete, presidente di Unioncamere.Webuild batte le stime e chiude il 2023 con risultati ai massimi storiciWebuild (rebranding di Salini Impregilo SpA) batte le stime e chiude il 2023 con risultati ai massimi storici.

This week's EYE ON NPI is gonna give it to up high...then down low (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_five) ...ready to measure, never too slow! It's STMicroelectronics' TSC1641 Digital Power Monitor (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/tsc1641-digital-power-monitor), a high-precision temperature, voltage, power, and temperature monitoring chip with I2C or I3C interfaces for integration with modern microcontrollers and microcomputers. This chip is great for tracking actual power usage into motors, LEDs, batteries etc. to detect anomalies or conserve power, with a tiny footprint and flexible usage. The TSC1641 is a modern take on the old-shunt-resistor-into-an-opamp method of power monitoring (https://learn.adafruit.com/portable-solar-charging-tracker/analog-stuff). For one, the TSC1641 can handle high or low-side measurements. That means you don't run the risk of having your grounds floating above earth, or managing multiple reference voltages. Also of course wiring is a snap, you just insert the board in between the power rail and load. Second, it can read up to 60VDC voltages - great for big battery packs, automotive or robotics. Third, it will calculate power and low-pass filter for you so you aren't affected by spiky power usage. Fourth, there's an onboard temperature sensor tossed in. Finally, this chip is not just I2C compatible, it has I3C support https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I3C_(bus) which makes it a great investment for long-term designs as I3C catches on and is supported in the next generations of microcontrollers. We covered I3C in a previous EYE ON NPI (https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/05/12/eye-on-npi-nxp-p3s0200gm-i3c-switch-with-hardware-select-and-enable-eyeonnpi-nxp-digikey/) so check it out for more details. To sum up fast: I3C is back-compatible with I2C but has push-pull logic support for up-to-12MHz speeds, in-channel interrupts so a separate IRQ line is not needed, and dynamic addressing so there's no address collision. A great update to all the things that make us batty about I2C. Support for I3C on the controller-side is still rolling out so you probably will use this chip in I2C mode for now, but your firmware can be adjusted-up to I3C on a future revision. This chip is a great response to the INA series from TI - and we love competition, it's great for all engineers when the chip companies clamor for our business by iterating and improving! Compared to the INA237, the ST TSC1641 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/TSC1641IQT/21725159) has the same specs but is 10% less, plus you get that I3C support that none of the INA chips have yet. The high level of integration means you only need to spec a shunt resistor. The resistor selection will have to balance the dynamic current range measurable with the 16-bit precision. If you pick too small of a resistor, you'll max out the measurable current faster. If you pick too large of a resistor, you wont get good accuracy at low currents. Check the datasheet for how to select a good resistor and then how to tell the chip what value you've chosen: that will let the TSC1641 perform the power/current/voltage calculations on its own without you having to do any math. If you'd like to get started fast, there's also an eval board that is Arduino-shield-compatible (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/steval-digafev1-evaluation-board-for-the-tsc1641), some firmware is provided for the Nucleo series of ST dev boards to evaluate without any soldering or coding. If you're interested in the STMicroelectronics TSC1641 Digital Power Monitor (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/stmicroelectronics/TSC1641IQT/21725159) you are in luck because it's in stock right now at DigiKey! Order today and it will ship faster than you can give a high-five, and be at your doorstep tomorrow afternoon for your power-monitoring pleasure.

This week's EYE ON NPI has a dash of DSI - it's the new STM32U5 Series microcontroller processors from ST (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stm32u5-series-ultra-low-power-mcus). These bring a wonderful upgrade from the same-old same-old Cortex M4 or M7 with some eye-popping peripherals that will make quick work of any graphics project, but without the weight of a Linux processor overhead. There's lots of chips that purport to have a 'graphics interface' but the moment you sit down to actually use it, you realize that there's very limited SRAM for the graphics display. So you either have to use slow external PSRAM, or you don't get a double-buffer for smooth updates. That's because it's kinda rare to see a microcontroller with more than maybe 1 MB of SRAM. The STM32U5 series is plumped up with up to 3 MBytes of delicious on-chip SRAM, which is perfect for double buffering a 800x480 display with 1.5MB left over, or even double-buffered 720x720 with 1 MB of SRAM left over. Compare that to the STM32H7's max of 1 MB. (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stm32h7-32-bit-high-performance-mcu) That RAM will come in handy because this is one of the first microcontrollers we've seen that has true DSI host support! DSI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_Serial_Interface) is the latest interface standard for connecting to medium-size displays of approximately 480x480 pixels or larger. It's a differential signalling interface which means fewer pins, but the ability to go fast to address fairly large displays. However, because it's differential and high speed, you really need peripheral support - which very few chips have unless you upgrade to microprocessors that drive phones or tablets. Previous to DSI, folks would use SPI displays for up to about 320x240 (https://www.adafruit.com/search?q=spi+display) and 8-bit parallel for displays from 128x640 up to around 480x320 (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1774) and then for displays larger than that - 480x272 or greater - RGB TTL dotclock interface. SPI displays are nice because they have a built in framebuffer - but SPI is slow so you can't drive anything but the smallest screens. Parallel is faster, but still suffers from speed issues. RGB TTL displays have no framebuffer, so you have to write them continuously, and that requires built in RAM or PSRAM and hardware support to keep up with 20-60 FPS updates. Also, ideally, double-buffers to avoid tearing. However, you need a pin for each bit of colors, so easily 30 pins are needed - and even then RGB TTL tends to top out at 1024x600. For 720p or 1080p, most folks would go with HDMI, but you can get these displays with DSI interfaces: and DSI only uses 6-10 pins for 2 to 4 lanes of data plus a clock lane. These new chips are a nice step up from the STM32F7 and H7 series (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stm32h7-32-bit-high-performance-mcu) in that they have the low price, multiple pin package count, with improved RAM and display support. There's also variants with hardware crypto support, high-speed USB, and like we mentioned, with DSI host. There's also a new version of the NeoChrom graphics engine that has vector graphics support, vector font rendering, and JPEG hardware decoding which will allow for video playback with MJPEG (https://blog.st.com/neochrom-gpu-neochromvg-gpu/). We're excited to see DSI interfaces make their way into microcontrollers, and doubly so because the STM32U5 series (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/stmicroelectronics/stm32u5-series-ultra-low-power-mcus) is in stock for immediate shipment from DigiKey! We particularly like the feel of the STM32U599 as it has a l'il bit of everything without being top-of-the-line, and it comes in QFP (https://www.digikey.com/short/15vv8m9r) for easy integration no matter what fabrication setup you've got. Order some STM32's from DigiKey today and they will ship faster than you can render a bouncing ball, making its way to you by tomorrow afternoon.
