Product catalog summary
Introduction
ROHM's Advanced Development Project initiated in 2014 led to the creation of two innovative technologies: Nano Pulse Control™ and Nano Energy™. These technologies were developed to enhance the performance of power supply ICs, crucial components in ROHM's product portfolio.

Specifications and Technologies
  • Nano Pulse Control™: This ultra-fast pulse control technology allows for a switching ON time of just 9ns, enabling a step-down ratio of 24:1 in DC/DC converters. This technology is particularly beneficial for applications like 48V mild hybrid vehicles, allowing direct step-down from 48V to 3.3V with a single IC, reducing component count and space.
  • Nano Energy™: This technology significantly reduces power consumption in power supply ICs, achieving an ultra-low current consumption of 180nA. It supports long-term operation on a single coin battery, meeting the demands of the IoT industry for extended battery life and miniaturization.

Applications and Benefits
  • Automotive: Nano Pulse Control™ simplifies system design and reduces costs in 48V power supply systems for mild hybrid cars, industrial robots, and base stations by eliminating the need for a second stage in voltage conversion.
  • IoT Devices: Nano Energy™ enables long-term operation in battery-powered devices, reducing maintenance costs and supporting energy harvesting systems.

Development and Commercialization
ROHM's vertically integrated production system and proprietary design technologies facilitated the development of these breakthrough technologies. The BD9V100MUF-C and BD70522GUL are examples of products incorporating these innovations, offering high efficiency and reduced power consumption.

Conclusion
ROHM's Nano Pulse Control™ and Nano Energy™ technologies represent significant advancements in power supply ICs, addressing the needs of modern automotive and IoT applications by providing efficient, compact, and cost-effective solutions.
