It’s not easy being tasked with designing a 'better' DC/DC buck converter, which must transform a lightly regulated DC voltage into a tightly regulated source for motors, industrial equipment, and communications infrastructure; as always, the objective is higher efficiency, but without any penalty in size, complexity, or performance.

Kionix, a ROHM Group Company, announces the release of the KXTJ3, a new 3-axis accelerometer offering unprecedented value while providing the performance of much a more expensive accelerometer in a tiny, 2x2x0.9mm form factor.The KXTJ3 is a drop-in replacement for the KXTJ2, and offers improvements in a number of aspects, from better noise performance to extended range, to improve interrupt functionality.

ROHM has become a regular member of the CharIN (Charging Interface Initiative), an association to develop and establish the Combined Charging System (CCS) as the standard for charging battery-powered electric vehicles of all kinds.

The automotive industry has long been focussing on the higher efficiency of the combustion engine and electrification of the drivetrain in hybrid and fully electric vehicles to meet CO2emission goals. Now we finally see a tipping point with a greater availability ofSiC (Silicon Carbide) chips that offer extremely low power losses and higher temperature resistance.

The availability of a new thermal printhead has been announced by ROHM designed for receipt printers in payment terminals capable of being driven by a single-cell li-ion battery.Thermal printheads are electronic devices that print on special media (i.e. thermal paper) by precisely and repeatedly generating and dissipating heat. Conventional thermal printheads for payment terminals are driven by 2-cell li-ion batteries.

ROHM Group company LAPIS Semiconductor has announced the availability of 32bit microcontrollers well suited for data loggers used in logistics for acquisition and management of environmental information during package shipment.

Anglia is partnering with some of the biggest names in IoT technology to create ‘Meet the IoT’, a conference and exhibition that provides detailed and specific input on designing IoT systems, taking place at locations in the North and South of England in June.

For the first time,ROHM will be exhibiting at CeBIT 2017, an international information communication technology trade show held every year in Hanover, Germany, from 20th-24thMarch. CeBIT is the world’s largest B2B solutions trade show focused on the latest technologies such as IoT, Big Data, AI and robotics. This year Japan was selected as a partner country for the first time.
