Utilization of new low voltage drive processes has resulted in stable operation at V_GS=1.2V with significantly lower ON-resistance than conventional 2.5V products for reduced power consumption - up to 90% less.

ROHM thermostat output temperature sensor ICs are available in the ultra-compact HVSOF5 package (1.6× 1.6mm t=0.6mm). Open Drain Active High operation ensures a temperature detection accuracy of +/-2.5ºC with no complicated circuitry required. Additional features include a power down function, low current consumption (75µA),and an analog temperature output pin, making them suitable for applications of all types, including overheat detection and temperature monitoring circuits.

ROHM is the first in the market to develop white LED drivers for backlights capable of real-time automatic brightness adjustment based on the ambient light as well as the brightness of the rojected image. The result is greater energy efficiency and less eye fatigue, even when viewing for long periods.

With superior spectrum sensitivity characteristics close to human visual acuity, ROHM's brightness sensors ensure a wide range of illumination measurements. Original photo IC technologies enable stable operation with a sensitivity tolerance of approximately ±10%, regardless of different light sources (i.e. fluorescent, incandescent). The result is high precision light adjustment capability with efficient power consumption.

ROHM' s lineup of AIEs (Adaptive Image Enhancers) features intelligent, hardware-based brightness correction in real time. Only areas that require brightness correction are adjusted, resulting in visibility similar to the human eye.

ROHM's Xenon tube driver not only integrates all circuits required for flash functionality on a single chip, but generates the ideal light intensity based on the distance to the subject, reducing power consumption. In addition, a newly developed phototransistor interface circuit reduces standby current to less than 1µA while maintaining high speed operation.

ROHM's LVDS serial differential transmission ICs feature a low swing mode and were designed to be energy-efficient. Low EMI is ensured by integrating noise countermeasures.
