ROHM Semiconductors is a global leader in electronic components, specializing in power semiconductors, integrated circuits (ICs), and discrete devices. Serving industries such as automotive, industrial automation, and consumer electronics, ROHM is renowned for its innovative and energy-efficient solutions. The company’s cutting-edge technologies include SiC (Silicon Carbide) devices, PMICs, and terahertz components designed for high-performance applications. Committed to sustainability, ROHM focuses on advancing renewable energy systems, electric vehicles (EVs), and smart industrial solutions. Its dedication to precision, quality, and innovation has positioned ROHM as a trusted partner in global semiconductor markets.
Designed to maximally extract and convert high resolution digital audio data to analog audio signals, audio DAC chips are one of the most important components for determining the quality in audio equipment.
ROHM has developed compact wireless charger modules with an integrated antenna board: the BP3621 (transmitter) and the BP3622 (receiver). The new modules allow to add wireless power supply functionality to smaller devices such as smart tags/cards or PC peripherals.
ROHM has been awarded the highest rating of “Platinum” for its sustainability performance of 2021 by EcoVadis for the first time. The "Platinum" rating is given to the top 1% of about 80,000 companies assessed across all industries.
ROHM CO., LTD. and ROHM Wako CO., LTD. have announced to build a new production facility at its manufacturing subsidiary in Malaysia, ROHM-Wako Electronics (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (RWEM) to increase production capacity of analog LSIs and transistors due to growing demands.
ROHM Group company LAPIS Technology developed a chipset capable of providing up to 1W of wireless power for compact and streamlined wearable devices, and for industrial smart, miniaturized and sealed solution. The ML7661 (transmitter) and ML7660 (receiver) eliminate the need for an external MCU by incorporating a control circuit required for transmission/reception, resulting in the industry’s smallest system size in the 1W class. This makes it ideal for wearables with a large battery capacity designed to be worn for long time frames. Typical products are wristband blood pressure monitors, fitness trackers, smart watches, and hearing aids, for example. Moreover, the adoption of the high 13.56MHz frequency band enables the support for Near Field Communication (NFC).
ROHM has recently added a new thermal analysis function to its ROHM Solution Simulator. The new feature allows designers of electronic circuits and systems in the automotive and industrial markets to collectively verify power devices and driver ICs thermal issues on different solution circuits.
ROHM has developed thick-film shunt resistors, LTR100L, optimized for industrial and consumer applications. Often used to detect current in battery protection and motor drive circuits, shunt resistors require higher accuracy to improve reliability and ensure high efficiency operation.
ROHM has recently been certified as a preferred supplier of SiC power solutions by United Automotive Electronic Systems Co., Ltd., (UAES), a Chinese Tier 1 comprehensive automotive manufacturer.
