ROHM Semiconductor has a broad range of general purpose ICs which can be used in all kinds of applications in consumer, industrial and automotive applications. With the start of a promotion campaign in September there will be also a dedicated website to offer a good overview and a fast access to specifications.
Universal standard Operational Amplifiers and Comparators have been developed for commercial and extended industrial use. These series correspond to a variety of operating voltage ranges, operating temperature ranges and packages to use in many fields. Besides this bipolar LM-Series ROHM also offers CMOS types, which correspond to a low voltage and very low power consumption.
ROHM’s series of serial EEPROMs represent the highest level of reliability on the market. A double cell structure provides a failsafe method of data reliability, while a double reset function prevents data miswriting. FeRAM is a non-volatile memory that eliminates battery backup required to hold data. Erasing and programming cycles are not necessary, such as those used for various EEPROM or Flash. Therefore, the write cycle time can be equal to the read cycle time and the power consumption can be reduced significantly.
Compact, low dropout (LDO) regulators that offer a number of power-saving features have become industry-standard. ROHM offers an expanded line-up of fixed and variable output LDO regulators with and without shutdown switch, to meet the needs of a variety of portable devices and power supply configurations.
ROHM’s broad line-up of voltage detector ICs features high accuracy, low current consumption, high reliability and full compatibility with microcontrollers, CPUs, and DSPs. They are available in either open drain or CMOS output, making it possible to output a reset signal based on the output of the destination power supply for ease of use.
High speed, high throughput data transmission via USB interface has become a reality, significantly increasing the applicability. However with increasing speed and functionality comes a price: increased power consumption, making a power switch a necessity. ROHM’s power switches are not only reliable and easy to use, they also feature an energy saving design and stable operation.
