　　ROHM has developed external FET-type controller ICs utilizing PWM current control mode optimized for AC-DC power supply in various industrial applications. Mass production has begun for four variants designed to drive a wide range of power semiconductors: the BD28C55FJ-LB for low-voltage MOSFETs, BD28C54FJ-LB for medium- to high-voltage MOSFETs, BD28C57LFJ-LB for IGBTs, and BD28C57HFJ-LB for SiC MOSFETs.

ROHM’s New PWM Controller ICs with SOP Package for Power Supply in a Wide Variety of Industrial Applications

　　Although the global semiconductor shortage is beginning to ease, the supply of semiconductor components for power supplies in industrial applications continues to lag behind demand. This is particularly true for PWM controller ICs, where the limited number of manufacturers has resulted in chronic shortages, leading to numerous requests for product development.

　　In response, ROHM has developed PWM controller ICs that address the ongoing supply issue by meeting the industrial market’s stringent package and performance requirements. Depending upon the input AC voltage range of the application, a wide variety of semiconductors are used for power supply circuit. Each of these semiconductors demand different undervoltage lock out levels to prevent thermal runaway in case of supply/gate voltage drop. To solve this issue, ROHM has developed 4 variants with different undervoltage lock out levels.

　　The new products feature an input voltage range of 6.9V to 28.0V, circuit current up to 2.0mA, maximum startup current of 75µA, and a maximum duty cycle of 50%, offered in the standard SOP-J8 package (equivalent to the JEDEC SOIC8). The products are pin to pin compatible to standard products commonly used in power supply circuits, thus reducing re-design and modification efforts. All variants are equipped with a self-recovery-type undervoltage lockout function (UVLO) with voltage hysteresis. This significantly improves application reliability by reducing the threshold voltage error to ±5%, compared to the typical ±10% of standard products.

　　At the same time, these ICs are designated for long-term supply, thus ensuring continuous operation of long-life industrial equipment. Going forward, the lineup will be further expanded to include products suitable to drive high-voltage MOSFETs and GaN devices. More variants to support a maximum duty cycle of 100% are also being planned.

　　Application ExamplesIndustrial equipment: AC-DC power supplies, motor drive inverters, and other AC-powered devices

　　Product Information

　　Applicable Part Nos: BD28C54FJ-LB, BD28C55FJ-LB, BD28C57HFJ-LB, BD28C57LFJ-LB

　　TerminologyPWM Control Type

　　Short for Pulse Width Modulation, a method for controlling power using semiconductors. The output power is controlled by varying the ratio of ON and OFF times within a fixed cycle.

　　Duty Cycle

　　The proportion of ON and OFF times as percentage of the switching period is known as ON- and OFF-duty cycle, respectively. It is common to refer to the ON-time ratio as the duty cycle. Duty Cycle (%) = Pulse Width (t) / Period (T).

　　Self-Recovery Undervoltage Lockout Function (UVLO) with Voltage Hysteresis

　　This function safety stops IC operation before the circuit inside the IC becomes abnormal when the input voltage drops below a threshold. For self-recovery types, the IC can become unstable by repeatedly stopping and starting near the threshold voltage, so a protection circuit with hysteresis is used to create a voltage difference between the stop and restart points.

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

　　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.　　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 Offers LogiCoA™: the Industry's First* Analog-Digital Fusion Control Power Supply Solution

　　ROHM has established LogiCoA™, a power supply solution for small to medium power industrial and consumer equipment (30W to 1kW class). It provides the same functionality as fully digital control power supplies at low power consumption and cost equivalent to analog power types.　　Analog controlled power supplies are commonly used in industrial robotics and semiconductor manufacturing equipment that operate in the medium power range. However, in recent years these power supplies are also required to provide a high level of reliability and precise control that make it difficult to meet market demands with analog-only configurations. On the other hand, while fully digitally controlled power supplies enable fine control and settings, they are not widely adopted in the small to medium power range due to the high power consumption and cost of the digital controller. To address this issue, ROHM developed the LogiCoA™ power solution that leverages the strengths of both analog and digital technologies. High performance low power LogiCoA™ MCUs are utilized to facilitate control of a variety of power supply topologies.　　The LogiCoA™ brand embodies a design philosophy of fusing digital elements to maximize the performance of analog circuits. ROHM’s LogiCoA™ power solution is the industry’s first* “analog-digital fusion control” power supply that combines a digital control block centered around the LogiCoA™ MCU with analog circuitry comprised of silicon MOSFETs and other power devices.　　In a fully digital control power supply, the functions handled by digital controllers such as high-speed CPUs or DSPs can be processed by low-bit MCUs, making it possible to achieve increased functionality that is difficult to realize with an analog control power supply at low power consumption and cost. This solution allows for the correction of performance variations in peripheral components according to the power supply circuit by storing various settings such as current and voltage values in the LogiCoA™ MCU. As a result, there is no need to consider design margins unlike with analog control power supplies, contributing to smaller power supplies that provide greater reliability. On top, as operation log data can be recorded in the MCU's nonvolatile memory, it is ideal for power supplies in industrial equipment that require logging as a backup in case of malfunction.　　The evaluation reference design REF66009 allows users to experience the LogiCoA™ power supply solution in a non-isolated buck converter circuit. Various tools necessary for evaluation are also offered, including circuit diagrams, PCB layouts, parts lists, sample software, and support documents, while actual device evaluation is possible using the optional LogiCoA001-EVK-001 evaluation board.　　Going forward, ROHM will continue to develop LogiCoA™ MCUs to support various power supply topologies, contributing to achieving a sustainable society by making the power supply block (which accounts for the majority of power loss in applications) more energy efficient and compact.　　LogiCoA™ BrandLogiCoA™ is a brand that embodies a design philosophy of fusing digital elements to maximize the performance of analog circuits. By combining the advantages of analog circuitry with those of digital control, it is possible to maximize the potential of circuit topologies, contributing to more efficient power utilization. As LogiCoA™ is a design concept that can be applied not only to the power supply field, but also to power solutions as a whole, ROHM is considering its application in future products and solutions.　　Details of the LogiCoA™ Power Supply Reference DesignThe REF66009 evaluation reference design offered on ROHM's website allows users to verify the functionality of the LogiCoA™ MCU along with the basic operation of the LogiCoA™ power supply solution using a non-isolated 12V buck converter circuit.
