　　ROHM’s ultra-compact CMOS Operational Amplifier (op amp) TLR1901GXZ achieves the industry’s lowest operating circuit current. This IC is optimized to be applied as a measurement sensing amplifier in size-constrained applications such as handheld measurement instruments, wearable devices, and indoor motion detectors.

ROHM has Developed Ultra-Compact CMOS Op Amp: Delivering Industry-Leading* Ultra-Low Circuit Current

　　As the demand continues to grow for more sophisticated control in battery-driven devices, the importance of sensors that detect parameters such as temperature, humidity, vibration, pressure, and flow rate – along with the op amps used to amplify these sensor signals – continues to rise. At the same time, greater miniaturization and energy savings in applications is a necessary step to realizing a sustainable society –placing similar demands on individual devices as well.

　　In response to these evolving market needs, ROHM has advanced its process, packaging, and proprietary Nano Energy™ circuit technologies to develop an op amp that addresses three key requirements: lower power consumption, higher accuracy, and compact size. The newly developed TLR1901GXZ achieves an ultra-compact footprint of less than 1mm2 by adopting a WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) with a fine ball pitch of 0.35mm while delivering an industry-leading low operating current of 160nA (typ.). This not only contributes to high-density mounting in space-constrained applications, but also to a significantly extended battery life.

　　Moreover, the TLR1901GXZ features an exceptionally low input offset voltage of just 0.55mV (max.), one of the best among ultra-low current op amps. This represents an approximate 45% reduction compared to typical products on the market. A maximum input offset voltage temperature drift of 7uV/°C ensures high accuracy operation over the operating temperature range.

　　Design flexibility can be further enhanced by pairing the op amp with ROHM’s ultra-compact general-purpose resistors, such as the MCR004 (0402 metric / 01005 inch) and MCR006 (0603 metric / 0201 inch), for applications like gain adjustment. The MCR004 series lineup includes the MCR004E –an environmentally friendly, fully lead-free option designed to support sustainable designs. Adapter boards featuring SSOP5 package ICs are offered as well to support initial evaluation and replacement assessments.

　　Going forward, ROHM will continue to pursue further power savings in op amps by advancing both miniaturization and original ultra-low power technologies. At the same time, we are committed to improving device performance by reducing noise and offset, expanding power supply voltage ranges, and contributing to solving social issues through more precise application control.

ROHM Develops Breakthrough Schottky Barrier Diode Combining Low VF and IR for Advanced Image Sensor Protection

　　ROHM has developed an innovative Schottky barrier diode that overcomes the traditional VF / IR trade-off. This way, it delivers high reliability protection for a wide range of high-resolution image sensor applications, including ADAS cameras.　　Modern ADAS cameras and similar systems require higher pixel counts to meet the demand for greater precision. This has created a growing concern – the risk of damage caused by photovoltaic voltage generated under light exposure during power OFF. While low-VF SBDs are effective countermeasures, low IR is also essential during operation to prevent thermal runaway. However, simultaneously achieving both low VF and IR has been a longstanding technical challenge. ROHM has overcome this hurdle by fundamentally redesigning the device structure – successfully developing an SBD that combines low VF with low IR which is ideal for protection applications.　　The RBE01VYM6AFH represents a novel concept: leveraging the low-VF characteristics of rectification SBDs for protection purposes. By adopting a proprietary architecture, ROHM has achieved low IR that is typically difficult to realize with low VF designs. As a result, even under harsh environmental conditions, the device meets market requirements by delivering VF of less than 300mV (at IF=7.5mA even at Ta=-40°C), and an IR of less than 20mA (at VR=3V even at Ta=125°C.) These exceptional characteristics not only prevent circuit damage caused by high photovoltaic voltage generated when powered OFF, but also significantly reduce the risk of thermal runaway and malfunction during operation.　　The diode is housed in a compact flat-lead SOD-323HE package (2.5mm × 1.4mm / 0.098inch × 0.055inch) that offers both space efficiency and excellent mountability. This enables support for space-constrained applications such as automotive cameras, industrial equipment, and security systems. The RBE01VYM6AFH is also AEC-Q101 qualified, ensuring suitability as a protection device for next-generation automotive electronics requiring high reliability and long-term stability.　　Going forward, ROHM will focus on expanding its lineup with even smaller packages to address continuing miniaturization demands.　　Key Specifications　　Application Examples　　Image sensor-equipped sets such as ADAS cameras, smart intercoms, security cameras, and home IoT devices.　　Terminology　　Photovoltaic Voltage　　A term commonly used with optical sensors, referring to the voltage produced when exposed to light. In general, the stronger the light intensity or higher the pixel count the greater voltage generated.

ROHM has Developed New Smart Switches Optimized for Zonal Controllers

　　ROHM has developed six new high-side Smart Switches (Intelligent Power Devices, short: IPDs) BV1HBxxxEFJ series (BV1HB008EFJ-C, BV1HB012EFJ-C, BV1HB020EFJ-C, BV1HB040EFJ-C, BV1HB090EFJ-C, BV1HB180EFJ-C) with highly accurate current sensing capability and ON resistances from 9 mΩ to 180 mΩ. They are ideal for protecting loads and subsystems from abnormalities such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature, ensuring reliable operation and safeguarding sensitive components in automotive lighting, body control such as, door locks and power windows. Extensive diagnostic capabilities, e.g., open load and reverse battery detection, further enhances safety and reliability.　　Vehicle electronic control systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated with the advancement of autonomous driving and electric vehicles (EVs). This evolution has heightened the importance of electronic protection from a functional safety standpoint, driving the shift toward Zonal Controllers architecture that manages vehicle functions in designated zones. As a result, the use of smart switches for electronic load protection and control is rapidly growing.　　Zonal controllers must each manage a large number of loads, but conventional smart switches often lack the drive capability required for high-capacitance loads. ROHM’s new smart switches address this challenge, delivering key performance attributes such as low ON resistance and high inductive energy clamp while significantly improving capacitive load drive capability. By commercializing high-performance smart switches tailored to zonal controllers’ requirements, ROHM is contributing to automotive electrification and the elimination of mechanical fuses.　　The new products feature exceptional high-capacitance load driving capability, maximizing performance at the critical interface between Zonal Controllers and output loads (including various ECUs). Leveraging proprietary cutting-edge process technology makes it possible to achieve both low ON resistance and high inductive energy clamp – two characteristics typically involve a trade-off. The result is a well-balanced integration of three key performance metrics: drive capability, ON resistance, and energy tolerance. This enhances system design safety, efficiency, and reliability. The devices also incorporate a best-in-class* high-precision current sensing function (±5%) that provides effective protection for harnesses connected to output loads. At the same time, the compact, high heat dissipation HTSOP-J8 package ensures excellent design versatility.　　Going forward, ROHM remains committed to improving safety, security, and energy efficiency in the automotive field by continuing to develop high reliability, high performance devices.　　*ROHM study on high-side Smart Switches - September 30th, 2025　　Application Examples　　Body applications, powertrain/inverter systems, other switch-related circuits　　Terminology　　Zonal Controllers　　An emerging design concept in automotive electronic architecture, zonal controllers represent a shift away from the conventional approach of assigning dedicated ECUs for each function, such as lighting, door locks, and power windows. Instead, the vehicle is divided into zones, with a zonal controller manages multiple functions in its zone.　　Intelligent Power Devices (IPD) / Smart Switches　　Smart power switches are semiconductor devices that electronically control the delivery of power by turning it on and off, while also providing integrated protection and diagnostic features such as overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal shutdown, current sensing, and open load detection to enhance system reliability and safety.　　Capacitive Load Driving Capability　　A technical term referring to the ability of an electronic circuit or semiconductor device to operate reliably when driving capacitive loads. It is especially important in circuit configurations involving zone ECUs and their output stages (including individual ECUs) where large electrolytic capacitors are commonly used. If this capability is inefficient, inrush current cannot be adequately suppressed, leading to overheating that can result in malfunctions or reduced operational lifespan.
