ROHM launches wide SOA MOSFET for AI servers in compact 5×6mm package
  ROHM has developed the 100V power MOSFET - RS7P200BM - achieving industry-leading SOA in a 5060-size (5.0mm × 6.0mm) package. This product is ideal for hot-swap circuits in AI servers using 48V power supplies as well as for industrial power supplies requiring battery protection.  The rapid evolution and widespread adoption of AI technologies have increased the demand for stable operation and improved power efficiency in servers equipped with generative AI and high-performance GPUs. Particularly in hot-swap circuits, power MOSFETs with wide SOA are essential to handle inrush current and overload conditions, ensuring stable operation. Furthermore, within data centers and AI servers, the transition towards 48V power supplies, which offer superior power conversion efficiency, is progressing against a backdrop of energy conservation. This necessitates the development of high-voltage, high-efficiency power supply circuits capable of meeting these demands.  Therefore, ROHM has expanded its line-up of 100V power MOSFETs ideal for hot-swap circuits in AI servers to meet market demand. The new RS7P200BM adopts a compact DFN5060-8S (5060 size) package, enabling even higher density mounting compared to the AI server power MOSFET ‘RY7P250BM’ in the DFN8080-8S (8.0mm × 8.0mm size) package, which ROHM has released in May 2025.  The new product achieves a low on-resistance (RDS(on)) of 4.0mΩ (conditions: VGS=10V, ID=50A, Ta=25°C) while maintaining wide SOA of 7.5A at a pulse width of 10ms and 25A at 1ms under operating conditions of VDS=48V. This balance of low on-resistance and wide SOA, typically a trade-off relationship, helps suppress heat generation during operation, thereby improving server power supply efficiency, reducing cooling load, and lowering electricity costs.  Mass production of the new product began in September 2025 (sample price: $5.5/unit, excluding tax).  ROHM will continue to expand its product lineup for 48V power supplies, which are increasingly adopted in applications such as AI servers. By providing highly efficient and reliable solutions, we will contribute to reducing power loss and cooling loads in data centers, as well as enhancing the high reliability and energy efficiency of server systems.  Application Examples  •48V system AI servers and data center power hot-swap circuits  •48V system industrial power supplies (forklifts, power tools, robots, fan motors, etc.)  •Battery-powered industrial equipment such as AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles)  •UPS, emergency power systems (battery backup units)  EcoMOS™ Brand  EcoMOS™ is ROHM's brand of silicon power MOSFETs designed for energy-efficient applications in the power device sector. Widely utilized in applications such as home appliances, industrial equipment, and automotive systems, EcoMOS™ provides a diverse lineup that enables product selection based on key parameters such as noise performance and switching characteristics to meet specific requirements.  ・EcoMOS™ is a trademark or registered trademark of ROHM Co., Ltd.  Terminology  SOA(Safe Operating Area)  The voltage and current range within which a device can operate safely without damage.

ROHM’s Three-Phase Brushless DC Motor Gate Driver Achieving FET Heat Reduction while Suppressing EMI
  ROHM has developed the “BD67871MWV-Z” three-phase brushless DC motor gate driver for medium voltage applications (12 to 48V systems). By incorporating ROHM’s proprietary gate drive technology TriC3™, it greatly reduces FET’s switching loss while maintaining low EMI – traditionally a trade-off in motor driver ICs.  Motors account for approximately 60% of global electricity consumption, making control technology which affects energy efficiency, increasingly critical. In 12V to 48V motor drive applications, a simple configuration where an MCU controls three gate drivers has been the mainstream. However, in recent years, demands for high efficiency and precise control have grown, accelerating the adoption of solutions combining an MCU with an integrated three-phase motor driver. Further, a technical challenge in three-phase motor drivers has been the trade-off between “power consumption reduction” and “noise / EMI (electro-magnetic interference) reduction,”.  BD67871MWV-Z features ROHM's proprietary Active Gate Drive technology “TriC3™”, which rapidly senses voltage information from the external power FETs and adjust gate drive current accordingly in real-time. This greatly reduces FETs’ switching loss (and hence heat generation) FET power consumption during switching while simultaneously suppressing ringing to achieve low EMI.  Compared to ROHM's conventional constant-current drive products, TriC3™ gate drive has been demonstrated in actual motors that FET heat generation by approximately 35% while maintaining equivalent EMI levels. Furthermore, BD67871MWV-Z adopts UQFN28 package and pin layout which are commonly used in motor driver ICs for medium-voltage industrial equipment applications, contributing to reduced engineering effort required in circuit modifications and new designs.  Mass production of the new product commenced in September 2025 (sample price: $5.5/unit, tax excluded).  ROHM also offer general-purpose motor drivers (BD67870MWV-Z, BD67872MWV-Z) with the same package and pin configuration as the new product, designed for constant-voltage drive. From general-purpose types to the value-added types featuring the new TriC3™, we offer a comprehensive product lineup to supports a wide variety of applications and use cases. We are committed to contributing to improved motor efficiency, enhanced application functionality, and reduced power consumption.  Application Examples  •Industrial Equipment: Various motors such as electric drills/drivers and industrial fans  •Consumer Appliances: Various motors used in vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, air conditioners, ventilation fans and E-bikes (electric-assist sports bicycles)  TriC3™  A multi-step constant current drive technology developed by ROHM. By controlling gate current in three steps, it achieves high-speed, high-efficiency operation while minimizing EMI by suppressing ringing.  • TriC3™ is a trademark or registered trademark of ROHM Co., Ltd.  Terminology  EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)  EMI is used as an indicator of how much noise a product generates during operation, potentially causing malfunctions in surrounding ICs or systems. “Low EMI” means the product generates less noise.  Ringing  High-frequency oscillations or overshoot occurring during switching. This arises from the resonation between inductance and capacitance, including parasitic elements in the circuit. In the context of motor driving, ringing happens when the power MOSFETs are turned on and off.

ROHM Develops Breakthrough Schottky Barrier Diode Combining Low VF and IR for Advanced Image Sensor Protection
  ROHM has developed an innovative Schottky barrier diode that overcomes the traditional VF / IR trade-off. This way, it delivers high reliability protection for a wide range of high-resolution image sensor applications, including ADAS cameras.  Modern ADAS cameras and similar systems require higher pixel counts to meet the demand for greater precision. This has created a growing concern – the risk of damage caused by photovoltaic voltage generated under light exposure during power OFF. While low-VF SBDs are effective countermeasures, low IR is also essential during operation to prevent thermal runaway. However, simultaneously achieving both low VF and IR has been a longstanding technical challenge. ROHM has overcome this hurdle by fundamentally redesigning the device structure – successfully developing an SBD that combines low VF with low IR which is ideal for protection applications.  The RBE01VYM6AFH represents a novel concept: leveraging the low-VF characteristics of rectification SBDs for protection purposes. By adopting a proprietary architecture, ROHM has achieved low IR that is typically difficult to realize with low VF designs. As a result, even under harsh environmental conditions, the device meets market requirements by delivering VF of less than 300mV (at IF=7.5mA even at Ta=-40°C), and an IR of less than 20mA (at VR=3V even at Ta=125°C.) These exceptional characteristics not only prevent circuit damage caused by high photovoltaic voltage generated when powered OFF, but also significantly reduce the risk of thermal runaway and malfunction during operation.  The diode is housed in a compact flat-lead SOD-323HE package (2.5mm × 1.4mm / 0.098inch × 0.055inch) that offers both space efficiency and excellent mountability. This enables support for space-constrained applications such as automotive cameras, industrial equipment, and security systems. The RBE01VYM6AFH is also AEC-Q101 qualified, ensuring suitability as a protection device for next-generation automotive electronics requiring high reliability and long-term stability.  Going forward, ROHM will focus on expanding its lineup with even smaller packages to address continuing miniaturization demands.  Key Specifications  Application Examples  Image sensor-equipped sets such as ADAS cameras, smart intercoms, security cameras, and home IoT devices.  Terminology  Photovoltaic Voltage  A term commonly used with optical sensors, referring to the voltage produced when exposed to light. In general, the stronger the light intensity or higher the pixel count the greater voltage generated.
