ROHM Releases New Level 3 SPICE Models Featuring Enhanced Simulation Speed
  ROHM has announced the release of new Level 3 (L3) SPICE models that deliver significantly improved convergence and faster simulation performance.  Since power semiconductor losses greatly impact overall system efficiency, simulation accuracy during the design phase is critical. ROHM’s earlier Level 1 SPICE models for SiC MOSFETs addressed this need by precisely replicating key device characteristics. However, challenges such as simulation convergence issues and prolonged computation times revealed the need for further refinement.  The new L3 models utilize a simplified approach that maintains both computational stability and accurate switching waveforms while reducing simulation time by approximately 50% compared to the L1 models. This allows for high-accuracy transient analysis of the entire circuits at significantly faster speed, streamlining device evaluation and loss assessment in the application design phase.  As of April 2025, ROHM has released 37 L3 models for its 4th Generation SiC MOSFETs, available for download directly from the Models & Tools section of each product page.

ROHM Develops an Ultra-Compact MOSFET Featuring Industry-Leading* Low ON-Resistance Ideal for Fast Charging Applications
  ROHM has developed a 30V N-channel MOSFET — AW2K21 — in a common-source configuration that achieves an industry-leading ON-resistance of 2.0mΩ (typ.) in a compact 2.0mm × 2.0mm package.  With the rise of compact devices featuring large-capacity batteries, such as smartphones, the need for fast charging functionality to shorten charging times continues to grow. These applications require bidirectional protection to prevent reverse current flow to peripheral ICs and other components when not actively supplying or receiving power. What’s more, fast charging involves high current power transfer, leading smartphone manufacturers to demand stringent specifications for MOSFETs, including a maximum current rating of 20A, breakdown voltage between 28V and 30V, and an ON-resistance of 5mΩ or less. However, meeting these requirements with standard solutions typically necessitates the use of two large low ON-resistance MOSFETs, increasing board space along with mounting complexity.  In response, ROHM developed an ultra-compact low ON-resistance MOSFET optimized for fast high-power charging. The AW2K21 adopts a proprietary structure that enhances cell density while minimizing the ON-resistance per unit chip area. Two MOSFETs are integrated into a single package, allowing a single part to support bidirectional protection applications (commonly required in power supply and charging circuits).  The proprietary structure also places the drain terminal on the top surface, unlike on the backside in standard vertical trench MOS structures. This enables the use of a WLCSP, which achieves a larger chip-to-package area ratio that further reduces ON-resistance per unit area. As a result, the new product not only minimizes power loss but also supports high current operation, making it ideal for high-power fast charging applications despite its ultra-compact size.  For example, in power supply and charging circuits for compact devices, standard solutions typically require two 3.3mm × 3.3mm MOSFETs. In contrast, the AW2K21 can achieve the same functionality with a single 2.0mm × 2.0mm unit, reducing the footprint and ON-resistance by approximately 81% and 33%, respectively. Even compared to similarly sized GaN HEMTs, ON-resistance is decreased by up to 50%, contributing to lower power consumption and increased space savings across a variety of applications.  The AW2K21 is also suitable for use as a unidirectional protection MOSFET in load switch applications, where it maintains the industry’s lowest ON-resistance. At the same time, ROHM is further pushing the limits of miniaturization with the development of an even smaller 1.2mm × 1.2mm model.  Going forward, ROHM remains dedicated to supporting the miniaturization and energy efficiency of electronic systems through compact, high-performance solutions that contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.  Key Product Characteristics  Application Examples  • Smartphones  • VR (Virtual Reality) headsets  • Compact printers  • Tablets     • Wearables           • LCD monitors  • Laptops     • Portable gaming consoles    • Drones  And other applications equipped with fast charging capability.  Terminology  MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor)  A field-effect transistor (FET) featuring a metal oxide semiconductor structure (the most commonly used type). It consists of three terminals: gate, drain, and source. Applying a voltage to the gate (control terminal) regulates current flow from the drain to the source.  N-channel MOSFETs turn ON when a positive voltage is applied to the gate relative to the source. A common-source configuration MOSFET integrates two transistor elements that share a single source terminal.  ON-Resistance  The resistance between the Drain and Source of a MOSFET when it is in the ON state. A smaller RDS(on) reduces power loss during operation.  Breakdown Voltage  The maximum voltage that can be applied between the drain and source terminals of a MOSFET without causing damage. Exceeding this limit results in dielectric breakdown, potentially leading to device failure or malfunction.  WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package)  An ultra-compact package in which terminals and wiring are formed directly on the wafer before separated into individual chips. Unlike general packages where the chips are cut from the wafer and then molded with resin to form terminals, WLCSP allows the package size to match the chip itself, making it possible to further reduce size.  GaN HEMT  GaN (Gallium Nitride) is a compound semiconductor material used in next-generation power devices. It offers superior physical properties over conventional silicon, enabling higher frequency operation with faster switching speeds. HEMT stands for High Electron Mobility Transistor.

TAIYO YUDEN: World's First Multilayer Metal Power Inductor Capable of Withstanding Temperatures up to 165°C
  TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commercialized four items, including the multilayer metal power inductor MCOIL™ "LACNF2012KKTR24MAB" (2.0 x 1.25 x 1.0 mm, maximum height value shown), which complies with the "AEC-Q200" reliability qualification test standard for passive automotive components. Through advancements made in our proprietary metal materials and multilayer construction methods, we have achieved an upper operating temperature limit of 165°C for a multilayer metal power inductor, a world’s first *1 .  These products are used as choke coils in DC-DC converters used in automotive engine ECUs, control systems such as BMS, safety systems such as ABS, body-related systems such as ADAS, and information systems such as instrument clusters.  By extending the upper operating temperature limit range of our conventional product "LCCNF2012KKTR24MAD" (operating temperature range: -55°C to +150°C) to 165°C, these new products are able to contribute to the miniaturization and performance enhancement of power supply circuits by enabling high-density mounting in high-temperature environments such as in automobiles.  Mass production of these products began at our subsidiary, WAKAYAMATAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. (Inami-cho, Hidaka-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan), in April 2024. Samples are available for 50 yen per unit.  The advancements that we have seen in recent years in electronic controls in production vehicles, as typified by ADAS units, has led to a greater number of power supply circuits on vehicles, which in turn has led to growth in the demand for power inductors that are used in these circuits. Furthermore, performance also continues to improve through functional integration, such as in integrated cockpits that combine instrument clusters and infotainment devices. While the throughput of IC chips continues to grow as these devices become increasingly multifunctional and high-performance, there is also a growing need to make on-board electronic components smaller and thinner in order to arrange devices in highly dense configurations and integrate them into single modules. Components mounted at high densities become more susceptible to the effects of heat, as their reduced volumes makes it more difficult for the heat generated by the components to dissipate. Furthermore, since ECUs are increasingly being installed in engine compartments—a high temperature environment—on-board electronic components must be able to withstand high temperatures.  To address these challenges, TAIYO YUDEN further improved the reliability of the MCOIL™ LCCN series of multilayer metal power inductors, which had the advantage of being smaller and thinner, and launched the AEC-Q200 certified LACN series which provides an extended operating temperature range of - 55°C to +165°C.  TAIYO YUDEN focuses on the development of products that meet market needs, and will continue to expand its power inductor product lineup.  *1 As of May 30, 2024, according to TAIYO YUDEN study.  ■Application  Choke coils in DC-DC converters used in automotive engine ECUs, control systems such as BMS, safety systems such as ABS, body-related systems such as ADAS, and information systems such as instrument clusters.  ■Characteristics  *2 The saturation current value (Idc1) is the DC current value having inductance decrease down to 30%. (at 20℃)  *3 The temperature rise current value(Idc2) is the DC current value having temperature increase up to 40℃. (at 20℃)  *4 The rated current is the DC current value that satisfies both of current value saturation current value and temperature rise current value.  * Derating of rated current is necessary depending on the ambient temperature.

TAIYO YUDEN Expands Lineup of Multilayer Metal Power Inductors for Smartphones
  TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has begun mass production of three products, including the LSCND1412FETR47ME (1.4 x 1.2 x 0.65 mm; maximum height shown), in its MCOIL™ LSCN series of multilayer metal power inductors.  These power inductors are for use as choke coils in the power circuits of smartphones. Retaining the same form factor as our previous product "LSCND1412FETR47MC" (1.4 x 1.2 x 0.65 mm), the DC superposition allowable current of our new "LSCND1412FETR47ME" has been increased by 20% to 3.6 A (previously 3.0 A), and its DC resistance has been reduced by 10% to 38 mΩ (previously 42 mΩ). These improvements contribute to boosting the performance of power supply circuits in smartphones, which are becoming increasingly sophisticated and multifunctional.  Mass production of these products commenced at our subsidiary WAKAYAMATAIYO YUDEN CO. LTD. (Inami-cho, Hidaka-gun, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan). Samples are available for 50 yen per unit.  Technology Background  Smartphones are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with capabilities such as AI-based image and video editing, as well as voice and text translation. At the same time, there is demand for greater efficiency in order to keep their body small, and achieve long operating times with limited battery capacity. To achieve both high performance and high efficiency, a smartphone’s processor operates at high speeds with low voltage and high current, and employs a multi-core configuration where each core is equipped with its own power supply circuit, allowing it to improve both its processing power and efficiency by switching the cores used depending on load. This trend in power supply circuits has become particularly pronounced in cutting-edge smartphones, which require both high performance and high efficiency, and in recent years has led to an increase in the adoption of small and thin low-inductance power inductors capable of handling large currents.  To address these needs, at TAIYO YUDEN we have been using metallic magnetic materials with high DC superposition characteristics to optimize the design and other aspects of our MCOIL™ LSCN series multilayer metal power inductors—which have the advantage of allowing them to be made more compact and thinner—commercializing three products, including “LSCND1412FETR47ME,” which deliver 20% greater DC superposition allowable current and 10% smaller DC resistance compared to our previous products.  In response to market needs, we will continue to expand and improve our product lineup with higher functionality and reliability, as well as smaller and thinner products.  ■ Application  For use as a choke coil for power circuits in smartphones and other devices.  ■Characteristics  *1 The saturation current value (Idc1) is the DC current value having inductance decrease down to 30%. (at 20℃)  *2 The temperature rise current value(Idc2) is the DC current value having temperature increase up to 40℃. (at 20℃)  *3 The rated current value is following either Idc1(max) or Idc2(max), which is the lower one.  * “MCOIL” is a registered trademark or a trademark of TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. in Japan and other countries.  * The names of series noted in the text are excerpted from part numbers that indicate the types and characteristics of the products, and therefore are neither product names nor trademarks.

Murata Unveils High-Efficiency 1W DC-DC Converter with Reinforced Isolation and Ultra- low Capacitance
  Murata Manufacturing has launched the NXJ1T series, a high-performance 1W DC-DC converter designed to provide reinforced isolation for communication interfaces and analog front-end (AFE) measurement circuits. With 4.2kVDC isolation (Hi Pot Test) and compliance with UL62368 safety standards, the NXJ1T series delivers exceptional electrical isolation, noise immunity, and thermal reliability for industrial, energy, and medical applications.  As industries transition to higher voltage systems, particularly in 800V electric vehicles (EV) and supporting chargers, battery energy storage (BESS), and renewable energy infrastructure, the need for robust isolation in communication and sensing systems has become increasingly critical. Furthermore, in medical applications, where low leakage current and safety isolation are essential, reliable power solutions must also meet stringent regulatory requirements like ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1.  Murata’s NXJ1T series addresses these challenges, offering a compact (10.55mm x 13.70mm x 4.04mm), high-performance DC-DC converter engineered for safety and durability in the most demanding environments. It features an unregulated 1W 5V input to 5V/200mA output design, ideal for embedded systems. Murata's proprietary molding technology provides the NXJ1T series with high ingress protection against dust and particulates in harsh industrial environments and extreme temperatures. During development, the DC-DC converter has successfully undergone 1,000 temperature cycles between -40°C and 125°C, demonstrating its ability to withstand the highest levels of thermal stress.  Manufactured in the UK, the NXJ1T incorporates Murata’s proprietary block-coil transformer technology, providing high isolation, low leakage current, and exceptional performance. In contrast to many alternative solutions on the market, which utilize wireless power coils that exhibit low coupling factors, high switching frequencies (approximately 10 MHz), and low efficiencies of typically around 40-60%, Murata's block-coil transformer technology facilitates lower switching frequencies (500 kHz–2 MHz) and higher efficiencies of approximately 80%. The result is exceptional common mode transient immunity (CMTI) and significantly lower isolation capacitance, making the NXJ1T series an ideal choice for engineers requiring high-performance power isolation in electrically noisy environments.  Each device features UL62368 recognition including reinforced insulation to 200Vrms and basic insulation to 250Vrms, providing an added layer of protection in high-voltage environments, while the under-voltage lockout (UVLO) functionality enhances operational stability, preventing erratic behavior under fluctuating power conditions. Furthermore, in medical equipment, where low leakage current is critical for patient-connected applications, the NXJ1T’s ultra-low isolation capacitance helps minimize unwanted leakage, supporting compliance with stringent safety standards like IEC 60601-1 when used within a certified system.  With a standard industry pin out and compact surface mount device (SMD) package, the NXJ1T provides seamless system integration into applications such as CAN Bus systems in EV chargers, heavy industrial automation systems, and medical instrumentation including X-ray, laser, ultrasound, and surgical instrumentation. In these high-voltage deployments, the DC-DC converters can deliver long-term stability and safety in high-voltage applications.  “As power system voltages continue to rise across industrial, and medical sectors, engineers require robust isolation solutions that can withstand demanding environments while maintaining efficiency,” said Ann-Marie Bayliss, Product Manager at Murata. She continued, “With its advanced transformer technology, the NXJ1T series delivers class-leading isolation, ultra-low leakage current, and high reliability, helping designers create safer and more efficient systems across a wide range of applications.”
