ROHM Develops New High Power Density SiC Power <span style='color:red'>Module</span>s Compact high heat dissipation design sets a new standard for OBCs
  ROHM has developed the new 4-in-1 and 6-in-1 SiC molded modules in the HSDIP20 package optimized for PFC and LLC converters in onboard chargers (OBC) for xEVs (electric vehicles). The lineup includes six models rated at 750V (BSTxxx1P4K01) and seven products rated at 1200V (BSTxxx2P4K01). All basic circuits required for power conversion in various high-power applications are integrated into a compact module package, reducing the design workload for manufacturers and enabling the miniaturization of power conversion circuits in OBCs and other applications.  In recent years, the rapid electrification of cars is driving efforts to achieve a decarbonized society. Electric vehicles are seeing higher battery voltages to extend the cruising range and improve charging speed, creating a demand for higher output from OBCs and DC-DC converters. At the same time, there is an increasing need in the market for greater miniaturization and lighter weight for these applications, requiring technological breakthroughs to improve power density - a key factor - while enhancing heat dissipation characteristics that could otherwise hinder progress. ROHM’s HSDIP20 package addresses these technical challenges that were previously becoming difficult to overcome with discrete configurations, contributing to both higher output and the downsizing of electric powertrains.  The HSDIP20 features an insulating substrate with excellent heat dissipation properties that suppresses the chip temperature rise even during high power operation. When comparing a typical OBC PFC circuit utilizing six discrete SiC MOSFETs with top-side heat dissipation to ROHM’s 6-in-1 module under the same conditions, the HSDIP20 package was verified to be approx. 38°C cooler (at 25W operation). This high heat dissipation performance supports high currents even in a compact package, achieving industry-leading power density more than three times higher than top-side cooled discretes and over 1.4 times that of similar DIP type modules. As a result, in the PFC circuit mentioned above, the HSDIP20 can reduce mounting area by approx. 52% compared to top-side cooled discrete configurations, greatly contributing to the miniaturization of power conversion circuits in applications such as OBCs.  Going forward, ROHM will continue to advance the development of SiC modules that balance miniaturization with high efficiency while also focusing on the development of automotive SiC IPMs that provide higher reliability in a smaller form factor.  Product Lineup  *1: Tc=25°C VGS=18V *2: Combines chips with different ON resistances  *3: Q1, Q4 pins *4: Q2, Q3, Q5, Q6 pins  Application Examples  Power conversion circuits like PFC and LLC converters are commonly used in the primary side circuits of industrial equipment, allowing the HSDIP20 to also contribute to the miniaturization of applications in both the industrial and consumer electronics fields.  ◇ Automotive systems  Onboard chargers, electric compressors and more.  ◇ Industrial equipment  EV charging stations, V2X systems, AC servos, server power supplies, PV inverters, power conditioners, etc.  Sales Information  Pricing: $100/unit (samples, excluding tax)  Availability: OEM quantities (April 2025)  Supporting Information  ROHM is committed to providing application-level support, including the use of in-house motor testing equipment. A variety of supporting materials are also offered such as simulations and thermal designs that enable quick evaluation and adoption of HSDIP20 products. Two evaluation kits are available as well, one for double-pulse testing and the other for 3-phase full bridge applications, enabling evaluation under close to actual circuit conditions.  For more information, please contact AMEYA360 or visit the contact page on ROHM’s website.

At the same time, we have established an integrated production system throughout the manufacturing process, solidifying our position as a leading SiC supplier.  ・EcoSIC™ is a trademark or registered trademark of ROHM Co., Ltd.  Terminology  Power Factor Correction (PFC)  A circuit that enhances the power factor by shaping the waveform of input power in the power supply circuit. By using a PFC circuit, the input power is made closer to a sine wave (power factor = 1), improving power conversion efficiency. While PFC circuits typically rely on diode rectification, OBCs often employ active bridge rectification using MOSFETs or bridgeless PFC. This approach is favored because MOSFETs offer lower switching losses, and especially in high power PFCs, using SiC MOSFETs reduces heat generation and power losses.  LLC Converter  A type of resonant DC-DC converter known for its high efficiency with low noise power conversion. The name LLC comes from its basic configuration, which combines two inductors (L) and a capacitor (C) in the circuit. By forming a resonant circuit, switching losses are significantly reduced, making it ideal for applications requiring high efficiency, such as OBCs, power supplies for industrial equipment, and server power supplies.

  Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today introduced an advanced all-in-one sensor module designed for indoor air quality monitoring. The RRH62000, the first multi-sensor air quality module from Renesas, integrates multiple sensor parameters in a compact design and accurately detects different particle sizes, volatile organic compounds, and gasses harmful to human health. With a Renesas microcontroller (MCU) on board, the module offers an intelligent sensor management solution for a growing market of air monitoring applications, including air purifiers, smoke detectors, HVAC systems, weather stations, and smart home systems. Its robust firmware also enables customer products to comply with various air quality standards around the world.  The RRH62000 features one of the smallest footprints in its class of sensor modules, measuring only 46.6 x 34.8 x 12 mm. It packs Renesas’ RA Family MCU and seven sensor signals: the laser-based PM1/ 2.5/ 10 sensor, ZMOD4410 gas sensor, and the HS4003 humidity and temperature sensor. Together, these sensors can detect particulate matter, total volatile organic compounds (TVOC), estimated CO2, temperature, and humidity all in one system. All key components have been pre-integrated and fully calibrated at the factory, allowing developers to start their sensor system designs right out of the box.  "Our RRH62000 module represents the next step in sensor fusion technology, which combines data from multiple sensors and turns it into comprehensive and actionable insights for environmental monitoring," said Uwe Guenther, Sr. Director, Modules and Solutions Product Line at Renesas. "We are dedicated to providing integrated sensing solutions that simplify development for customers and will continue to drive innovation in sustainable products that reduce environmental impact and enhance safety and comfort in our lives."  Public interest in air quality and its effects on health has increased significantly since the COVID-19 pandemic. People are now more aware of how air pollutants can affect respiratory health and overall well-being. Less known is that pollutants are typically six to ten times more concentrated indoors than outdoors. These include dust, paint fumes, smoke from cooking, pollen, and particulates from HVAC filters, which can enter the respiratory system and cause lung damage, cancer, and other health problems.  In order to meet these new challenges, Renesas’ new sensor module is equipped to monitor a broad range of air quality conditions. Using laser-based technology, which offers higher precision compared to conventional LED methods, it can monitor concentrations of PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 particulates -- particles with diameters of 0.3- to 10µm -- as well as absolute or relative TVOC measurements in different power mode settings, providing the highest level of accuracy for these pollutants. The RRH62000 delivers seven sensor outputs simultaneously, and its onboard MCU allows the system to detect surrounding air quality data in real time.  The RRH62000 combo module comes with building standard firmware plus artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, which lets engineers configure the sensors to conform to the requirements of various green air quality standards in public buildings, such as The Well Building Standard (WELL), Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) and RESET. With these features, for example, a school in China can use the same hardware as one in the U.S. or another location and simply update the AI-enabled firmware for its needs.  Intelligent sensor devices, such as the Renesas RRH62000 and recently announced RRH46410 gas sensor module, can support demand-controlled ventilation, allowing HVAC systems to adjust airflow based on carbon dioxide levels and occupancy information to maintain optimal air quality and energy efficiency. Similarly, these modules use AI algorithms to predict when HVAC filters must be replaced or detect an anomaly before system failure occurs, significantly saving cost and time for system maintenance.
