ROHM’s Flexible Brushed DC Motor Driver ICs for a Wide Range Applications
  ROHM has developed two new motor driver ICs for brushed DC motors, BD60210FV (20V, 2ch) and BD64950EFJ (40V, 1ch). They are intended for use in home and office appliances such as refrigerators, air conditioners, printers, and robotic vacuum cleaners.  In recent years, the electrification of consumer and industrial equipment - especially white goods - has accelerated, increasing the demand for energy-efficient brushed DC motors. At the same time, motor drivers are expected to support multiple applications and use cases while reducing external component count and size.  To address these needs, these new products adopt highly versatile packages, making them ideal not only for new platform designs but also for redesigns and derivative products. Additionally, they achieve ultra-low standby current (Typ: 0.0μA, Max: 1.0μA), significantly contributing to power savings during standby operation.  The BD60210FV can function as a dual H-bridge (2ch) motor driver with direct PWM control, capable of driving two DC brush motors, a bipolar stepper motor driver, or solenoid driver. Its H-bridge circuit configuration eliminates the need for a boost circuit, minimizing external components and contributing to space-saving and simplified design. It supports input voltage from 8V to 18V and 1A/phase continuous current and 4A/phase peak current.  The BD64950EFJ features a single H-bridge (1ch) that supports both direct PWM control and constant current PWM control. Its low on-resistance design reduces heat generation, enabling efficient motor drive. With a 40V withstand voltage and 3.5A continuous current (6A peak), it is suitable for high-powered, high-voltage (24V) DC brush motor applications.  Both products are now in mass production (sample price: $1.5/unit, tax excluded). Online sales have also started, and they (BD60210FV, BD64950EFJ) can be purchased from online distributors such as AMEYA360. Evaluation boards (BD60210FV-EVK-001, BD64950EFJ-EVK-001) are also available to support application development and design.  ROHM will continue to expand its motor drive solutions for consumer and industrial equipment, contributing to greater comfort and energy savings in society.  Application Examples  •Consumer Equipment: Refrigerators (ice maker rotation, fan valve control), Air conditioners (louver control), Printers (carriage movement), Robotic vacuum cleaners (brush rotation), Water heaters and rice cookers (valve control), Humidifiers (fan control) etc.  •Industrial Equipment: Automatic doors and shutters (operation control), Small conveyors (transport control), Power tools (rotation control), Other small motor control applications, etc.  Terminology  H-Bridge  An electronic circuit used to control the rotation direction of a motor.

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.

ROHM at PCIM Europe 2025: Powerful Highlights for E-Mobility and Industrial Applications
  From May 6th to 8th ROHM will exhibit at the PCIM Expo & Conference, the leading international event for Power Electronics, Intelligent Motion, Renewable Energy and Energy Management, taking place in Nuremberg. On its booth 304 in hall 9, ROHM will showcase reference projects with renowned partners and present the evolution of its package designs and evaluation boards.  "PCIM 2025 in Nuremberg is the meeting place for innovation and progress in power electronics. This is where the brightest minds in the industry come together to shape the future of e-mobility and industrial applications. We will be presenting great customer applications to showcase the possibilities offered by our products in the best possible way. Whether in the PV industry or e-mobility sectors – we are involved and would like to talk to our customers on site about the key projects of the future," says Wolfram Harnack, President at ROHM Semiconductor Europe.  Highlights of ROHM’s presence at PCIM 2025 include:  For automotive applications, ROHM will exhibit an inverter unit utilizing the TRCDRIVE pack™ that consists of a 2-in-1 SiC Molded Module. Valeo and ROHM have been collaborating since 2022, initially focusing on technical exchange to enhance the performance and efficiency of motor inverters, a key component in the propulsion systems of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).  Power solutions for on-board chargers (OBCs), essential for e-mobility applications, will also be on the booth. ROHM will showcase the new EcoSiC™ molded power modules suitable for OBCs, along with OBC applications adopting ROHM’s power semiconductor devices.  ROHM’s Power Eco Family products: ROHM has grouped the four product lines of power semiconductors under the brand concept “Power Eco Family” and is contributing to the development of a sustainable ecosystem through improved application performance. We will show featured solutions and case studies at the booth.  In this context, one application example is the new GaN Lineup: ROHM’s EcoGaN™ series of 650V GaN HEMTs in the TOLL package has been adopted for AI server power supplies by Murata Power Solutions, a subsidiary of the Murata Manufacturing Group and a leading supplier of electronic components, batteries and power supplies in Japan. Integrating ROHM’s GaN HEMTs, which combine low loss operation with high-speed switching performance, in Murata Power Solutions’ 5.5kW AI server power supply unit achieves greater efficiency and miniaturization.  For more information, please refer to AMEYA360’s related news release.  The details of the Power Eco Family are as follows.  ● EcoSiC™ is a brand of devices leveraging silicon carbide which is attracting attention in the power device field for performance that surpasses silicon.  ● EcoGaN™ comprises compact, energy-efficient devices that utilize the low ON resistance, high-speed switching characteristics of GaN to achieve lower application power consumption, smaller peripheral components, and simpler designs requiring fewer parts.  ● EcoIGBT™ is ROHM’s brand of IGBTs consisting of both devices and modules designed to meet the needs of high-voltage applications in the power device field.  ● EcoMOS™ is ROHM's brand of silicon power MOSFETs designed for energy-efficient applications in the power device sector.  During the fair, ROHM’s power experts will participate in several panel discussions and conference presentations. Additionally, they will hold poster sessions at the PCIM Europe 2025 conference.
