ROHM Launches Energy-Efficient DC-DC Step-Down Converters for Consumer Use
ROHM Miniaturizes Power with High-Efficiency DC-DC Converter ICs
ROHM Semiconductor, a leading innovator in analog and power IC solutions, has unveiled a new generation of compact DC-DC step-down converter ICs. These groundbreaking products address the growing demand for space-saving and energy-efficient power management in consumer electronics and industrial applications.
Responding to the Need for Compactness and Efficiency
The increasing complexity of features in modern devices, from refrigerators and washing machines to PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) and inverters, necessitates efficient power management within limited board space. ROHM's new DC-DC converter ICs address this challenge perfectly.
Unveiling a New Era of Miniaturization
ROHM's innovative design approach delivers significant size reduction. The new ICs, including the BD9E203FP4-Z (2A buck converter), achieve an output current of 1A to 3A within the compact TSOT23 package (2.8 mm × 2.9 mm). This translates to a remarkable 72% reduction in component area compared to traditional SOP-J8 packages. This miniaturization empowers engineers to create smaller, sleeker devices without compromising on power management capabilities.
Efficiency Reigns Supreme: Minimizing Standby Power Consumption
Beyond size reduction, ROHM prioritizes efficiency. The new DC-DC converter ICs boast superior performance during light load conditions, a critical factor in reducing standby power consumption. This is particularly relevant for devices that remain in standby mode for extended periods. ROHM achieves this breakthrough through two key features:
- Smaller Package with Reduced Resistance: The adoption of a flip chip on lead frame TSOT23 design eliminates bond wire resistance, contributing to higher overall efficiency.
- COT Control Mode for Light Load Optimization: The BD9E105FP4-Z, BD9E202FP4-Z, and BD9E304FP4-LBZ specifically utilize a COT (Constant On-Time) control mode during light load operation. This mode optimizes efficiency at low power states, making these ICs ideal for applications demanding minimal standby power draw.
Continued Innovation for a Sustainable Future
ROHM's commitment to advancing analog design technologies is evident in these new DC-DC converter ICs. The company's dedication to miniaturization and energy efficiency empowers engineers to design more compact, eco-friendly consumer and industrial equipment.
