  ROHM has developed an ultra-compact 1.8V - 5V, rail-to-rail CMOS operational amplifier (op amp) - the TLR377GYZ. It is optimized for amplifying signals from sensors such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, used in smartphones, small IoT devices, and similar applications.

ROHM Develops the Industry's Smallest* CMOS Op Amp Optimized

  The size of smartphones and IoT devices continues to decrease - requiring smaller components. To accurately amplify small signals as needed in high precision sensing, op amps must improve low input offset voltage and noise performance while continuing to shrink the form factor.

  The TLR377GYZ succeeds in balancing miniaturization with high accuracy (which has been difficult to achieve with conventional op amps) by further evolving proprietary circuit design, process, and packaging technologies cultivated over many years.

  Op amps’ input offset voltage and noise generation degrade amplification accuracy and can be suppressed by increasing the size of the built-in transistors - but at the expense of miniaturization. In response, ROHM developed proprietary circuits which achieve a maximum offset voltage as low as 1mV without increasing the size of the transistors. In addition, proprietary process technology greatly reduce flicker noise, while ultra-low noise is achieved with an input equivalent noise voltage density of 12nV/√Hz by optimizing the resistive components at the element level. Furthermore, the new product adopts a WLCSP (Wafer Level Chip Scale Package) with a ball pitch of just 0.3mm utilizing original packaging technology. This reduces size by approximately 69% compared to conventional products and 46% over existing compact products.

  The IC-mounted conversion board that can replace SSOP6 packages is also offered to support replacement considerations and initial evaluation. Both the new product and conversion board are available for purchase through online distributors. In addition, the high accuracy SPICE model - called ROHM Real Model - is available on ROHM’s website for verification simulations.

  Going forward, in addition to greater miniaturization and accuracy, ROHM will continue to improve op amp performance by reducing power consumption further utilizing proprietary ultra-low current consumption technology.

  Key Product FeatureA shut down function required by mobile devices is built in, reducing power consumption during standby mode.

  Application Examples• Smartphones, compact IoT devices equipped with measurement sensor amps, etc.

  High Accuracy Simulation Models: ROHM Real ModelsROHM Real Models are new high accuracy SPICE models that utilizes original model-based technology to faithfully reproduce the electrical and temperature characteristics of the actual IC, resulting in a perfect match between the IC and simulation values. This ensures reliable verification, contributing to more efficient application development - for example by preventing rework after prototyping. ROHM Real Models are now available on ROHM’s website.

  TerminologyInput Offset Voltage

  The error voltage that occurs between the input terminals of an op amp.

  Flicker Noise

  Noise inherent to electronic components such as semiconductors. Power is inversely proportional to frequency, so the lower the frequency the greater the power. Also called 1/f noise or pink noise. Other types of noise include thermal (i.e. Johnson-Nyquist, white) noise.

  Equivalent Input Noise Voltage Density

  The value obtained by short-circuiting the input terminals and referring the noise voltage density appearing at the output to the input terminals, i.e., since amplifiers have gain (amplification factor), dividing the output noise voltage density by the gain allows for a fair evaluation of the amplifier’s intrinsic noise characteristics.

  ROHM Real Model

  A high-accuracy simulation model that succeeds in achieving a perfect match between the actual IC and simulation values utilizing ROHM’s proprietary model-based technology.

ROHM’s New SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes for High Voltage xEV Systems: Featuring a Unique Package Design for Improved Insulation Resistance
  ROHM has developed surface mount SiC Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) that improve insulation resistance by increasing the creepage distance between terminals. The initial lineup includes eight models - SCS2xxxNHR - for automotive applications such as onboard chargers (OBCs), with plans to deploy eight models - SCS2xxxN - for industrial equipment such as FA devices and PV inverters in December 2024.  The rapidly expanding xEV market is driving the demand for power semiconductors, among them SiC SBDs, that provide low heat generation along with high-speed switching and high-voltage capabilities in applications such as onboard chargers. Additionally, manufacturers increasingly rely on compact surface mount devices (SMDs) compatible with automated assembly equipment to boost manufacturing efficiency. Compact SMDs tend to typically feature smaller creepage distances, fact that makes high-voltage tracking prevention a critical design challenge.  As leading SiC supplier, ROHM has been working to develop high-performance SiC SBDs that offer breakdown voltages suitable for high-voltage applications with ease of mounting. Adopting an optimized package shape, it achieves a minimum creepage distance of 5.1mm, improving insulation performance when contrasted with standard products.  The new products utilize an original design that removes the center pin previously located at the bottom of the package, extending the creepage distance to a minimum of 5.1mm, approx. 1.3 times greater than standard products. This minimizes the possibility of tracking (creepage discharge) between terminals, eliminating the need for insulation treatment through resin potting when surface mounting the device on circuit boards in high voltage applications. Additionally, the devices can be mounted on the same land pattern as standard and conventional TO-263 package products, allowing an easy replacement on existing circuit boards.  Two voltage ratings are offered, 650V and 1200V, supporting 400V systems commonly used in xEVs as well as higher voltage systems expected to gain wider adoption in the future. The automotive-grade SCS2xxxNHR are AEC-Q101 qualified, ensuring they meet the high reliability standards this application sector demands.  Going forward, ROHM will continue to develop high-voltage SBDs using SiC, contributing to low energy consumption and high efficiency requirements in automotive and industrial equipment by providing optimal power devices that meet market needs.  Application Examples◇ Automotive applications: Onboard chargers (OBCs), DC-DC converters, etc.  ◇ Industrial Equipment: AC servo motors for industrial robots, PV inverters, power conditioners, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and more  Online Sales InformationAvailability: The SCS2xxxxNHR for automotive applications are available now.  The SCS2xxxN for industrial equipment are scheduled in December 2024.  Pricing: $10.50/unit (samples, excluding tax)  Online Distributors: DigiKey™, Mouser™ and Farnell™  The products will be offered at other online distributors as they become available.  EcoSiC™ BrandEcoSiC™ is a brand of devices that leverage silicon carbide, which is attracting attention in the power device field for performance that surpasses silicon. ROHM independently develops technologies essential for the advancement of SiC, from wafer fabrication and production processes to packaging, and quality control methods.

Tracking (Creepage Discharge)  A phenomenon where discharge occurs along the surface of the package (insulator) when high voltage is applied to the conductive terminals. This can create an unintended conductive path between patterns, potentially leading to dielectric breakdown of the device. Package miniaturization increases the risk of tracking by reducing creepage distance.  Resin Potting  The process of encapsulating the device body and the electrode connections between the device and circuit with resin, such as epoxy, to provide electrical insulation. This provides durability and weather resistance by protecting against water, dust, and other environmental conditions.  AEC-Q101 Automotive Reliability Standard  AEC stands for Automotive Electronics Council, a reliability standard for automotive electronic components established by major automotive manufacturers and US electronic component makers. Q101 is a standard that specifically applies to discrete semiconductor products (i.e. transistors, diodes).
