Automotive Applications

• SiC Molded Power Modules for Electric Vehicles (EVs): ROHM will showcase , a 2-in-1 SiC molded module that improves the efficiency of traction inverters. A variant designed for auxiliary systems such as on-board chargers (OBCs) will also be on display. 

• Scalable PMIC Demonstration: ROHM will exhibit the reference design featuring the scalable PMIC ideal for automotive SoCs. This PMIC, which has been adopted in multiple power reference designs for next-generation cockpit SoCs, is scheduled to be installed in vehicles from leading European automakers.

Industrial Equipment

• New Three-Phase Motor Driver for Medium-Voltage Applications: ROHM will present a newly developed three-phase motor driver that leverages proprietary control technology to significantly reduce motor power consumption by minimizing switching losses. The compact design also contributes to smaller application size, making it ideal for electric drills, screwdrivers, and industrial cooling fans. 

• 3kW Totem Pole PFC with 650V GaN HEMT: ROHM will exhibit a 3kW output Totem Pole type PFC (Power Factor Correction) circuit incorporating 650V GaN HEMTs from the EcoGaN™ series. This high efficiency solution is optimized for power supplies in communication base stations, servers, and Energy Storage System (ESS).

Design-In Success Stories

• Murata Power Solutions: AI Server Power Supplies: ROHM’s EcoGaN series of 650V GaN HEMTs in the TOLL package has been integrated into AI server power supply units from Murata Power Solutions. Adopting ROHM’s GaN HEMTs, which combine low loss operation with high-speed switching performance, allows these power supply units to achieve greater efficiency and miniaturization.
