Semiconductor products are environmentally-friendly because they use little energy and are space-saving.
In product development, ROHM seeks further resource savings, energy conservation and improvements in product recycling (elimination of contained harmful substances). This three-fold approach reduces the environmental impact at customer locations.

Whether with electric power, gas or heavy oils, energy consumption directly produces greenhouse gas (CO2). Energy conservation is the most effective initiative to prevent global warming. In the future we must replace the electrical appliances on the market with more energy-efficient electronics (low power consumption type). ROHM's semiconductor products are used in virtually all electrical appliances. We intend to contribute to the energy conservation movement by focusing our product developments on low power consumption solutions.

Examples of Products Contributing to Ener

	Thermal printhead for card printers High efficiency and steady heat conduction makes it possible to erase point cards and the like.			H-Bridge Driver IC Circuit current under a no load state is 1/10 to 1/20 of traditional drivers due to a PWM driver and protection circuit.
	Ultra-low saturation linear IC power supply for PC chipsets Highly efficient NchFET and dual power supply terminal design reduce loss.			Digital input Class D headphone amplifier (BU7839GVW) Power consumption is reduced by 80% compared to conventional Class A or B products due to completely digital operation, from input to output.
	Low on-resistance power MOSFET, low VCE(sat) transistor This is a transistor group that contributes to higher efficiencies in power supply and power management circuits.			Compression audio decoder LSI (BU8907GU) Replays MP3/AAC/WMA while consuming more than 94% less energy than traditional CPU playback software.
	Mobile printer thermal head This extends battery life by 20%.			Low VF/low IR Schottky barrier diode This part is useful for improving the conversion efficiency of DC/DC converters.
	Low Iop laser diode Red (660nm band) laser diode that uses 50% less current than conventional lasers.			High-intensity LED Provides the same light intensity with one-quarter of the conventional power supply.
