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. Operation beyond this safe operating area may cause thermal runaway or damage; therefore, consideration of the SOA is essential, particularly in applications where inrush current or overcurrent may occur.　　Hot-swap circuit　　The complete circuitry supports the hot-swap function, which enables the removal or insertion of components while the device's power supply remains active. Comprising MOSFETs, protective elements, and connectors, it suppresses inrush currents occurring during component insertion and provides overcurrent protection, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the system and connected components.　　Inrush Current　　The high current exceeds the rated current value that flows momentarily when switching on electronic equipment. Controlling this prevents damage to devices and stabilizes the system by reducing the load on components within the power supply circuit.　　On-resistance(RDS(on))　　The resistance value between the drain and source terminals when the MOSFET is in operation (on). The lower the value, the less power loss occurs during operation.

Panasonic Industry Commercializes Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) with The Industry's Lowest Profile*1 to Support High-Output Power Delivery Required for USB Type-C Connections

　　Panasonic Industry Co., Ltd., a Panasonic Group company, announced  that it will begin commercial production of its two models of Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP), 50TQT33M and 63TQT22M. These capacitors are incorporated into power circuits used for information and communication equipment, including laptops and tablets. They offer an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance in a body with the industry’s lowest profile of 3 mm, supporting high-output power delivery through USB Type-C connectors. Mass production for these models is planned to start in December 2025.　　These capacitors are ideal for voltage stabilization and noise reduction in power supplies compliant with USB Power Delivery (USB-PD)[1] 3.1. While previous USB-C connectors supplied up to 100 W (20 V/5 A), USB-PD 3.1 expands this to 240 W (48 V/5 A). This enables widespread use of USB-C connectors for high-speed data transfer and rapid charging, and is expected to further expand applications to larger equipment requiring high power output, such as displays.　　On the other hand, information and communication equipment such as laptops are increasingly required to be thinner and more compact. Capacitors therefore must combine an ultra-high withstand voltage, high capacitance, and a low profile in order to fit into limited space. Panasonic Industry began mass production of Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors (POSCAP) in 1997 and, as an industry leader, has continuously delivered first-of-their-kind products. Leveraging proprietary powder molding technology and film formation technologies, the company has newly developed two models that achieve both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance in a package with the industry's lowest profile of 3 mm.　　Through these unique device technologies, Panasonic Industry will continue to contribute to enhancing the functionality of electronic equipment, including laptops, while also reducing the environmental impact through smaller, lighter devices and lower material usage.　　Key features:　　1. Achieves both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance*2 to support high-output USB Type-C power delivery, in a 3 mm profile—the lowest in the industry*1—enabled by proprietary powder molding and film formation technologies　　2.

Contributes to reduced material usage lower environmental impact through low-profile design　　*1 As of September 18, 2025, Conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors with rated voltages of 50 V and 63 V and capacitance of 22 μF or higher (Panasonic Industry data)　　*2 USB-Power Delivery 3.1 (180 W/240 W output) compliant high-capacitance conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors with rated voltages of 50 V and 63 V, and a capacitance of 22 μF or higherDetailed features:　　1. Achieves both an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance to support high-output USB Type-C power delivery, in a 3 mm profile—the lowest in the industry—enabled by proprietary powder molding and film formation technologies　　To achieve capacitor performance required for USB-PD 3.1 power supplies in a low-profile body, both high capacitance and a high withstand voltage must be ensured, despite their trade-off relationship. High-capacitance tantalum powder is necessary for electrode materials, but its fine particle size makes molding difficult, creating challenges for stable production. Forming a uniform dielectric film on the surface of the electrodes is important for enhancing the withstand voltage. However, since electrodes made with high-capacitance tantalum powder contain extremely small internal pores, dielectric oxide films tend to develop imperfections.　　Panasonic Industry overcame these challenges by establishing proprietary technology to mold high-capacitance tantalum powder with uniform density, and by optimizing the film deposition process to create flawless dielectric films. This enabled the development of two new models that combine an ultra-high withstand voltage and high capacitance, meeting the USB-C high-output power delivery requirements in a 3 mm low-profile package.Cross-sectional view of POSCAP and enlarged view of the inside of the electrode body　　2. Lineup of USB-PD 3.1-compliant models rated at 50 V and 63 V　　Until now, Panasonic Industry’s POSCAP lineup extended only up to 35 V, with no models compatible with USB-PD 3.1, which extends the rated voltage specification to 36 V (180 W) and 48 V (240 W). The two new models, rated at 50 V and 63 V, each achieve a high capacitance of 22 μF or higher in a package with the industry's lowest profile of 3 mm. The full lineup provides flexibility to meet diverse applications and equipment specifications.　　3. Contributes to reduced material usage lower environmental impact through low-profile design　　Compared to the industry standard size*3, the new models reduce volume by 25%, contributing to a lower environmental impact through reduced material usage.　　*3 Comparison with the industry standard size (7.3 mm × 4.3 mm × 4 mm) of conductive polymer tantalum solid capacitors used in USB-PD 3.1 compliant power suppliesApplications:　　Voltage stabilization and noise reduction of USB-PD 3.1-compliant power supplies for laptops, displays, and peripheral equipment　　Arc discharge[2] countermeasures for USB-PD 3.1-compliant connectors　　Specifications:　　Life: 2,000 hours at 105°C; guaranteed operating temperature range: -55°C to 105°C　　Ripple current[3]: 100 kHz, 105°C　　ESR[4]: 100 kHz, 20°C　　*4 Product dimensional tolerance:　　Length (L): ±0.3 mm; Width (W): ±0.2 mm; Height (H): ±0.2 mmTerm descriptions:　　[1] USB-PD　　The power delivery standards established by the standard-setting organization USB Implementers Forum, Inc.

TAIYO YUDEN Commercializes 1005M-Size Embeddable Multilayer Ceramic Capacitor with 22-μF Capacitance for AI Servers

　　TAIYO YUDEN CO., LTD. has commercialized and begun mass production of embeddable multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) that achieves a capacitance of 22-μF in a 1005M size (1.0 x 0.5 mm).　　This ceramic capacitor is an MLCC designed for decoupling applications on IC power lines used in AI servers and other types of information devices.　　Components embedded in a board require high precision in terms of flatness of the external electrodes for connection to the circuit. With respect to this requirement, TAIYO YUDEN has commercialized an embeddable MLCC that achieves a 22-μF capacitance in a 1005M size by enhancing external electrode formation technology and other elemental technologies.　　Mass production of the capacitor began at our Tamamura Plant (Sawa District, Gunma Prefecture) in August 2025. Samples are available for 20 yen per unit.　　Technology Background　　AI servers and other types of devices with advanced information processing capabilities are equipped with ICs that consume extremely large amounts of power. For decoupling purposes in such power supply circuits, small, high-capacity MLCCs are required to handle large currents.　　Additionally, to minimize circuit loss and noise, it is important to route the power supply circuit close to the ICs. Traditional power supply circuits are routed around ICs. But, technological developments are progressing, allowing them to be placed closer, such as on the back of the board or directly under the ICs. Thus, embeddable MLCCs need to be equipped with high-precision external electrodes to connect to the lines.　　To satisfy this need, TAIYO YUDEN has improved its external electrode formation technology and commercialized 1005M-size embeddable MLCC with a capacitance of 22 μF.　　TAIYO YUDEN is continuing to develop new MLCCs with higher capacitance and other distinguishing features.　　■ Application　　Decoupling applications on IC power lines used in AI servers and other types of information devices

ROHM has Developed New Smart Switches Optimized for Zonal Controllers

　　ROHM has developed six new high-side Smart Switches (Intelligent Power Devices, short: IPDs) BV1HBxxxEFJ series (BV1HB008EFJ-C, BV1HB012EFJ-C, BV1HB020EFJ-C, BV1HB040EFJ-C, BV1HB090EFJ-C, BV1HB180EFJ-C) with highly accurate current sensing capability and ON resistances from 9 mΩ to 180 mΩ. They are ideal for protecting loads and subsystems from abnormalities such as overcurrent, overvoltage, and overtemperature, ensuring reliable operation and safeguarding sensitive components in automotive lighting, body control such as, door locks and power windows. Extensive diagnostic capabilities, e.g., open load and reverse battery detection, further enhances safety and reliability.　　Vehicle electronic control systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated with the advancement of autonomous driving and electric vehicles (EVs). This evolution has heightened the importance of electronic protection from a functional safety standpoint, driving the shift toward Zonal Controllers architecture that manages vehicle functions in designated zones. As a result, the use of smart switches for electronic load protection and control is rapidly growing.　　Zonal controllers must each manage a large number of loads, but conventional smart switches often lack the drive capability required for high-capacitance loads. ROHM’s new smart switches address this challenge, delivering key performance attributes such as low ON resistance and high inductive energy clamp while significantly improving capacitive load drive capability. By commercializing high-performance smart switches tailored to zonal controllers’ requirements, ROHM is contributing to automotive electrification and the elimination of mechanical fuses.　　The new products feature exceptional high-capacitance load driving capability, maximizing performance at the critical interface between Zonal Controllers and output loads (including various ECUs). Leveraging proprietary cutting-edge process technology makes it possible to achieve both low ON resistance and high inductive energy clamp – two characteristics typically involve a trade-off. The result is a well-balanced integration of three key performance metrics: drive capability, ON resistance, and energy tolerance. This enhances system design safety, efficiency, and reliability. The devices also incorporate a best-in-class* high-precision current sensing function (±5%) that provides effective protection for harnesses connected to output loads. At the same time, the compact, high heat dissipation HTSOP-J8 package ensures excellent design versatility.　　Going forward, ROHM remains committed to improving safety, security, and energy efficiency in the automotive field by continuing to develop high reliability, high performance devices.　　*ROHM study on high-side Smart Switches - September 30th, 2025　　Application Examples　　Body applications, powertrain/inverter systems, other switch-related circuits　　Terminology　　Zonal Controllers　　An emerging design concept in automotive electronic architecture, zonal controllers represent a shift away from the conventional approach of assigning dedicated ECUs for each function, such as lighting, door locks, and power windows. Instead, the vehicle is divided into zones, with a zonal controller manages multiple functions in its zone.　　Intelligent Power Devices (IPD) / Smart Switches　　Smart power switches are semiconductor devices that electronically control the delivery of power by turning it on and off, while also providing integrated protection and diagnostic features such as overcurrent, overvoltage, thermal shutdown, current sensing, and open load detection to enhance system reliability and safety.　　Capacitive Load Driving Capability　　A technical term referring to the ability of an electronic circuit or semiconductor device to operate reliably when driving capacitive loads. It is especially important in circuit configurations involving zone ECUs and their output stages (including individual ECUs) where large electrolytic capacitors are commonly used. If this capability is inefficient, inrush current cannot be adequately suppressed, leading to overheating that can result in malfunctions or reduced operational lifespan.

Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. expands lineup of isolated DC-DC converters for PoE IEEE802.3af

　　Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has expanded its lineup of isolated DC-DC converters for PoE*1 with the launch of an IEEE802.3af-compliant isolated DC-DC converter for PD*2 (hereinafter, ‘the product’). Murata has already started mass production of the product, and samples are available upon request.　　*1PoE: Power over Ethernet. A technology that enables power supply over LAN cables used to build networks.　　*2PD: Powered Device. A device that receives power in a PoE system.　　PoE technology enables power supply over LAN cables used to build networks, improving installation flexibility, and reducing costs. In recent years, network-enabled devices such as security cameras and biometric authentication equipment have increasingly adopted PoE technology. Against this backdrop, demand for compact power modules for PoE-compatible devices is growing. In particular, biometric authentication devices typically require around 10 W of power, making the IEEE802.3af standard, which supports up to 15 W, an ideal match.　　Accordingly, Murata has developed this product compliant with IEEE802.3af. The product’s compact, low-profile design (1.02×0.58×0.27 inches (26×14.8×6.8mm)) enhances layout flexibility on circuit boards. It is mainly suited for camera modules and biometric authentication devices that require space-saving and low-noise characteristics, and contributes to the miniaturization of other communication devices.　　Key features　　Isolated DC-DC converter module compliant with IEEE802.3af Class specifications　　Compact and low-profile (1.02×0.58×0.27 inches (26×14.8×6.8mm)) for high layout flexibility　　Wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) for versatile applications　　Applications　　IEEE802.3af-compliant devices including wireless access points, biometric authentication devices, security cameras, camera modules, IP phones, and audio speakers　　Specifications
