STMicroelectronics (ST) recently launched two significant new products in analog and sensing: the TSB192 high-precision dual operational amplifier and the VD55G4/VD65G4 ultra-low-power global shutter image sensors. Targeting precision signal conditioning and intelligent visual perception respectively, these releases underscore ST's ongoing innovation in the industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics markets.

TSB192 4V-36V Dual Operational Amplifier

The TSB192 is a dual op-amp whose core strength lies in integrating ultra-low offset voltage, a wide supply voltage range, and an excellent bandwidth-to-power ratio. At 25°C, the device features a maximum input offset voltage of just 20µV and a drift coefficient of 100nV/°C, ensuring signal accuracy across the full temperature range. It offers a gain bandwidth product of 8MHz and a slew rate of 5V/µs, while consuming a maximum of only 2.2mA per channel, achieving an optimal balance between performance and power efficiency.

Critically, the TSB192 operates from a wide 4V to 36V supply voltage and features rail-to-rail output capability. This allows it to directly process signals from high-voltage sensors, simplifying system design. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, it is widely suitable for industrial test equipment, medical instruments, automotive electronics, and consumer applications.

VD55G4/VD65G4 Image Sensors

ST has expanded its BrightSense family with two new global shutter image sensors: the VD55G4 (monochrome) and VD65G4 (color). Both products utilize a 65nm/40nm 3D-stacked backside-illuminated architecture, offer a resolution of 0.56 megapixels (804 x 704), and integrate a global shutter.

Their key innovation is a dramatic reduction in power consumption. Through an optimized sensor architecture and a dedicated always-on monitoring mode, power consumption can be reduced to one-tenth that of conventional global shutter sensors—as low as 0.9mW—when operating at approximately 800x700 resolution and 10 frames per second. The sensors feature built-in smart wake-up functionality, which continuously monitors the scene for changes and only wakes the main processor upon detecting a valid event, thereby significantly extending battery life.

Furthermore, this sensor series opens up frame statistical data analysis capabilities to developers for the first time. It can output metadata, such as histograms, enabling the host MCU to perform scene analysis or adjust sensor parameters more quickly, reducing overall system processing load. The VD65G4, as an RGB color version, also meets the growing demand of AI vision systems that rely on color information.

The TSB192 is now in mass production, while the VD55G4 and VD65G4 are available to early adopters. Complete evaluation kits and software development resources are provided to help customers accelerate their product development.
