News Summary:
On October 1, 2026, Quobly demonstrated qubit readout, single-qubit gates, and two-qubit gates on a silicon quantum chip manufactured at STMicroelectronics' commercial 300 mm facility in Crolles, utilizing Quobly's QSOI technology built with an FD-SOI CMOS process. Also on October 1, STMicroelectronics introduced its STSPIN9P series, the company's first 75 V high-current motor driver, available in QFN 7 mm x 7 mm or 9 mm x 7 mm packages. This series aims to support factory automation, industrial automation, and home and building controls by addressing space constraints. Previously, on September 30, STMicroelectronics developed the SLLIMM Compact series of intelligent power modules (IPMs), which integrate a complete three-phase inverter stage into a compact direct-bonded copper (DBC) package. These modules combine a 600 V trench-gate IGBT power stage with freewheeling diodes, high-side and low-side gate drivers, bootstrap diodes, protection functions, and temperature sensing. Earlier on September 30, STMicroelectronics released the L4983 power factor correction (PFC) controller, featuring a proprietary multiplier emulator and harmonic distortion optimization circuit, designed to require few external passive components for building a continuous conduction mode (CCM) PFC circuit.
