To meet this demand and achieve space savings and design flexibility, power supply ICs must be capable of stable operation even with small-capacity capacitors. However, achieving such performance with output capacitors of 1µF or less has been technically difficult.　　To address this challenge, ROHM developed the “BD9xxN1 Series” LDO regulator (150mA output current) in 2022, incorporating its proprietary ultra-stable control technology, “Nano Cap™”. This innovation enables stable operation with output capacitors as small as 100nF, earning widespread adoption across numerous applications.　　The newly developed BD9xxN5 Series builds on the success of the BD9xxN1 Series by increasing the output current to 500mA – more than three times higher than before – significantly broadening its suitability for applications requiring higher power. In addition, very low output voltage ripple of approximately 250mV (with load current variation of 1mA to 500mA within 1µs) is achieved with a small output capacitance of just 470nF (typical). Beyond standard small MLCCs (multi-layer ceramic capacitors) in the range of several µF and large-capacity electrolytic capacitors, it also supports ultra-small MLCCs, such as the 0603M size (0.6mm × 0.3mm), with capacities below 1µF – where stability was previously difficult to achieve. This contributes to space saving as well as greater flexibility in component selection.　　Furthermore, high-precision SPICE models, “ROHM Real Model” are provided for accurate simulation and can be downloaded from the ROHM official website.　　SPICE Models: BD900N5xxx-C BD933N5xxxx-C BD950N5xxxx-C　　ROHM will continue to contribute to the high performance, miniaturization, and high reliability of electronic devices by further expanding its Nano Cap™ technology-equipped LDO series.　　Application Examples　　Automotive Equipment　　● Powertrain system power supplies for fuel injection systems (FI) and tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS)● Body system power supplies for body control modules (BCM)● Infotainment system power supplies for clusters ad head-up displays (HUD), etc.Industrial Equipment　　● Power supplies for controllers like Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), Remote Terminal Units (RTU), and industrial gateways● High-precision LDOs for analog loads and sensors measuring temperature, pressure, flow rate, etc.● Power supplies for monitoring and control panels in disaster prevention systems, access control systems and building automation.● Standby power supplies for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI) and panel equipment, etc.Consumer Electronics　　● Power supplies for control boards in refrigerators, dishwashers, air conditioners, etc.● Power supplies for home appliances like thermostats and doorbells● Power supplies for constant power applications in home security and network equipment, etc.　　What is Nano Cap™ Technology?　　Nano Cap™ refers to ultra-stable control technology achieved by combining advanced analog expertise covering circuit design, processes, and layout utilizing ROHM’s vertically integrated production system. Stable control eliminates the problem of unstable operation related to capacitors in analog circuits, contributing to a reduction in design resources for a wide range of applications in automotive, industrial equipment, consumer, and other fields.　　Terminology　　Primary　　In a power supply circuit, the side in charge of 1st stage conversion from a power source such as a battery is called the primary and the side responsible for 2nd stage conversion is referred to as the secondary.　　LDO Regulator (Low Drop Out Regulator / Low Saturation Regulator)　　A type of power supply IC that converts between two different DC voltage levels. Falls under the category of linear regulator (where the input/output voltages operate linearly) characterized by a small input-output voltage difference. Compared to DC-DC converter ICs (switching regulators), LDOs feature a simpler circuit configuration and lower noise.　　ROHM Real Model　　A high-accuracy simulation model that make it possible to also achieve a perfect match between the actual IC and simulation values utilizing ROHM’s proprietary model-based technology.

Industry’s Highest* Rated Power! ROHM Unveils the UCR10C Series of Sintered Metal Shunt Resistors

　　ROHM has developed the “UCR10C Series”, which has the industry's highest rated power for 2012-size shunt resistors (10 mΩ to 100 mΩ).　　Shunt resistors are required to handle higher power for current sensing in both the automotive and industrial equipment markets. Additionally, specific requirements for high junction reliability in these markets has increased annually.　　ROHM’s new products form a copper-based resistive element on an alumina substrate via sintering. By optimizing the heat dissipation structure, it achieves rated powers of 1.0W and 1.25W-double that of equivalent-sized products including thick film types and metal plate types. This enables the replacement of products with wide terminal types or larger alternatives, facilitating miniaturization and reducing the number of components required.　　Furthermore, the use of a metal resistive element achieves a low TCR (0 to +60 ppm/°C). This minimizes errors due to temperature changes, enabling high-precision current sensing. Moreover, it achieves the same level of durability as the metal plate types in temperature cycle testing (-55°C / +155°C, 1000 cycles). This ensures high bonding reliability even in applications with extreme temperature fluctuations, such as automotive use, enabling stable, long-term operation.　　This series is fully lead-free. No lead materials are present, even in RoHS-exempted areas, thus reducing environmental impact.　　As part of its future expansion plans, ROHM has also commenced development of the 3216-size (2W) sintered metal shunt resistor, the “UCR18C Series”, further enhancing its product line-up that combines high power, high precision and high reliability.　　Application Examples　　Various current detection applications in automotive, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics.　　Terminology　　Thick Film Types　　A chip resistor using a material called metal glaze as the resistive element. In addition to cost advantages, the thick film resistive element provides superior resistance to pulses and surges.　　Metal Plate Types　　A chip resistor using a metal plate as the resistive element. It offers superior thermal dissipation and achieves high precision through low TCR, providing performance advantages.　　Wide Terminal Types　　A structure where the electrodes are positioned along the long side of the chip resistor body. Compared to the common structure with electrodes along the short side, it improves heat dissipation efficiency and enables high-power handling.　　TCR (Temperature Coefficient of Resistance)　　An indicator showing how much a resistor's resistance value changes with temperature. A lower value means less resistance variation due to temperature fluctuations, providing more stable performance.　　The TCR of the UCR10C varies depending on the resistance value. Furthermore, the listed TCR is the guaranteed value for the +25/+155°C range for the 10mΩ product.

ROHM launches SiC MOSFETs in TOLL package that achieves both miniaturization and high-power capability

　　ROHM has begun mass production of the SCT40xxDLL series of SiC MOSFETs in TOLL (TO-Leadless) packages. Compared to conventional packages (TO-263-7L) with equivalent voltage ratings and on-resistance, these new packages offer approximately 39% improved thermal performance. This enables high-power handling despite their compact size and low profile. It is ideal for industrial equipment such as server power supplies and ESS (Energy Storage Systems) where the power density is increasing, and low-profile components are required to enable miniaturized product design.　　In applications like AI servers and compact PV inverters, the trend toward higher power ratings is occurring simultaneously with the contradictory demand for miniaturization, requiring power MOSFETs to achieve higher power density. Particularly in totem pole PFC circuits for slim power supplies, often called “the pizza box type,” stringent requirements demand thicknesses of 4mm or less for discrete semiconductors.　　ROHM's new product addresses these needs by reducing component footprint by approximately 26% and achieving a low profile of 2.3mm thickness – roughly half that of conventional packaged products. Furthermore, while most standard TOLL package products are limited by a drain-source rated voltage of 650V, ROHM's new products support up to 750V. This allows for lower gate resistance and increased safety margin for surge voltages, contributing to reduced switching losses.　　The lineup consists of six models with on-resistance ranging from 13mΩ to 65mΩ, with mass production started in September 2025 (sample price: $37.0/unit, tax excluded). 　　Product Lineup　　Application Examples　　・Industrial equipment: Power supplies for AI servers and data centers, PV inverters, ESS (energy storage systems)　　・Consumer equipment: General power supplies　　EcoSiC™ Brand　　EcoSiC™ is a brand of devices that utilize silicon carbide (SiC), which is attracting attention in the power device field for performance that surpasses silicon (Si). ROHM independently develops technologies essential for the evolution of SiC, from wafer fabrication and production processes to packaging, and quality control methods. At the same time, we have established an integrated production system throughout the manufacturing process, solidifying our position as a leading SiC supplier.• EcoSiC™ is a trademark or registered trademark of ROHM Co., Ltd.　　Terminology　　Totem Pole PFC Circuit　　A highly efficient power factor correction circuit configuration that reduces diode losses by using MOSFETs as rectifier elements. The adoption of SiC MOSFETs enables high voltage withstand capability, high efficiency, and high-temperature operation for the power supply.
