Appliance Design - October 2008 - (Page 35) ELECTRONICS tions by one of the leading European test institutes, the VDE, which approved it. The STM32 is the first 32-bit MCU having IEC60335-1 certified self-diagnostic routines. Providing that these modules are used unchanged and according to STMicroelectronics integration guidelines, they will not be re-evaluated in-depth, which eases the process and reduces the time and cost necessary to have an end-application certified. With safety-related features and extensive Class B compliance support material, the STM32 is an ideal candidate for medium/highend appliance platforms, where it can drastically reduce the time-to-market overhead to comply with the new standard. In addition, the STM8 8-bit microcontroller product line, which targets the household appliances market, also embeds a dual watchdog and failsafe clock circuitry, and is supported by self-test routines approved by the VDE in February 2008. These developments will help appliance designers bring new, electronically controlled appliances to market more quickly while meeting safety standards. < For more information, visit: www.st.com/mcu Fig. 3.
