GENEVA, SWITZERLAND: STMicroelectronics has worked closely with Microsoft in supplying several key components for the new Kinect for Xbox One.

"ST's ability to win important designs with Microsoft demonstrates the depth of our technology and ability to deliver leading-edge solutions," said Bob Krysiak, executive VP and president Americas Region, STMicroelectronics. "With the inclusion of a range of components ST is an important part of the value chain and is ultimately helping to enrich the Xbox One gamers' experience."

ST is among the industry leaders in manufacturing ASICs, with a broad range of Intellectual Property (IP) and process technologies in its portfolio.

Also, as one of the world's leading suppliers of power-management ICs, ST's devices enable energy-saving, high-power-density, and lower-standby-power solutions.
