Fukushima SiC Applied Engineering has selected ROHM’s SCT2080KE SiC MOSFET for use in its SiC-Pulser series of high voltage pulse generators.Pulse generators are used in a variety of applications, including high voltage accelerators, plasma generators and laser processing machines. Conventional systems utilise silicon devices or vacuum tubes as switching elements. However, this often entails a large number of system components which results...

Forecasters say the Internet of Things (IoT) market will be worth between $7trn and $9trn by 2020. That is exciting chip makers and their distributors. Rutronik is keen to promote its activities on behalf of its suppliers and is rolling out a series of one-day seminars which will embrace networking with sensor developments, two technologies driving many developments related to the Internet of Things (IoT).

ROHM has announced the BM1383GLVfamily of piezoresistive pressure sensors which feature pressure accuracy and stable measurement at both low and high temperatures due to a built-in temperature correction function.Built with ROHMs MEMS technology, the piezoresistive sensing element outputs a signal which is proportional with the atmospheric pressure.

A colour sensor, designed for display-equipped devices capable of detecting the colour temperature, brightness and RGB components of ambient light, has been released by ROHM. By leveraging original infrared removal technology and computing methods, the BH1745NUC reduces the effects of infrared rays by more than ten times compared with conventional devices. This enables compatibility with dark (low permeability) optical windows.

Contributing to increased miniaturisation, greater stability and longer life for EDLCs, the BD14000EFV-C cell balancing IC has been released by ROHM. The device integrates over 20 discrete components required for EDLC cell balancing on a single chip, reducing mounting area by 38%. This also eliminates component variations, making it easy to configure EDLC systems.

Designed for power-efficient motor driving and inverter applications, the Intelligent Power Module (IPM) series has been released by ROHM Semiconductor. The series consists of IGBT based modules optimised for low or high speed operation, and MOSFET based IPMs which integrate the company’s Low Ron SuperJunction MOSFET, PrestoMOS. 10,15 and 20A versions of 600V IGBTs/IPMs are currently available, and 30A versions under development.

ROHM has plans to build a new facility at ROHM Integrated Systems (Thailand) (RIST) to address the increasing demand for expanding the post processing production capability of LSIs. The project, which is currently in the design phase, is scheduled to begin in December 2014 and be completed by December 2015.

Kionix, together with its parent company, ROHM Semiconductor, has announced the opening of a software development centre in Oulu, Finland, to reinforce its sensor software and development resources. The jointly formed software development centre will expand upon the company’s past and current presence in Finland, leveraging the many skilled and available resources in the area.

Designed for MCUs in a variety of automotive systems, including EVs and HEVs, the BD39001EKV-C power supply has been released by ROHM. Ensuring stable voltage supply, even when the battery voltage drops after idling stop, the device utilises a proprietary boost-buck switching method.

As the industry pushes forward to realise SiC’s full potential, Jochen Hüskens, Rohm Semiconductor, argues that the next generation of SiC power devices is well-positioned to enable new high-volume applications such as EVs and solid state transformers.
