The ST Blog
Company blog · blog.st.comhardwareai
The ST Blog is the company blog at blog.st.com, writing about hardware and ai. Since 2019, 9 different Hacker News readers have linked it 11 times, most often “Neural Processing Unit in the most powerful STM32 (2024)”. It is still writing: the last post was on 2026-10-30, and you can follow it by feed.
Too few sampled comments (7) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link STMicroelectronics' blog for product announcements about its microcontrollers and microprocessors, such as the 90nm STM32G0, STM32N6 and STM32MP2 launches.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 7 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
The official STMicroelectronics blog covering edge AI, microcontrollers, sensors, power management, IoT, smart driving and more. Technical insights and tutorials from a global semiconductor leader.

What Hacker News says?
Makes sense. The STM32G series, which still has 150C Tjmax, is ST's first 90nm MCU[1] so yeah. [1]: https://blog.st.com/stm32g0-mainstream-90-nm-mcu/

HN discussionON Semiconductor has 700nm down to 180nm for hire in the US. https://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/content.do?id=18397 https://www.onsemi.com/PowerSolutions/content.do?id=16678 ST has been boasting about their new STM32G series as being their first 90nm product, though I doubt it'll start a nm race in the microcontroller world... https://blog.st.com/stm32g0-mainstream-90-nm-mcu/

HN discussionIsn’t there some dynamic at play where STM will put one of these on a board, that board becomes a “standard” and then it’s cloned by other manufacturers, lowering cost?

HN discussionHere's what ST says[1]: The very high electron mobility of GaN material allows devices with very low on-resistance and exceptionally high switching frequencies, which are key advantages in the design of next generation power systems, especially those for electric vehicles and renewable energy applications. Regarding the band gap[2]: It has a wide bandgap of 3.4 eV and an electron mobility of 1,700 cm2/Vs. Comparativ…

on “TI expands internal manufacturing for gallium nitride (GAN) semiconductors”This is entirely unsurprising if you actually look at things other than big CPU/GPU/IO. Power regulators doesn't need small transistors, it wants big nice and fat transistors. You'd get at least one of them in every device and a bunch in any bigger device. Same with any power device, LEDs, and really anything that passes some current. Any microcontroller smaller than "runs full fledged linux" often cares about cost…
