Development of Industry’s First 0.9V Drive MOSFETs for Mobile Devices by ROHM
Rohm made an announcement on development of industry’s first 0.9V type MOSFETs as part of expanding company’s ECOMOS series of low voltage drive. The newly developed drive is targeted for mobile devices such as portable audio, IC recorders, electronic dictionaries, portable radios as well as electronic toys to name a few. Rohm through development of this MOSFET has succeeded to control current leakage by optimizing the MOSFET gate layer and the channel profile making the 0.9V drive with a stable OFF state, enabling operation using only a single dry-cell (1.2V, termination voltage 0.9V) without requiring a step-up circuit, resulting in smaller, lighter sets with fewer external parts.

Release of Industry’s Thinnest LEDs by ROHM
Rohm now offers to the world industry’s thinnest LEDs. The PICOLED series by the company comes in a tiny 0.2mm thick package offering a high brightness. The newly developed PICOLED offers no brightness degradation in comparison to conventional products and at the same time achieves a reduction in mounting area and volume of 53% and 74% respectively over the standard 1608 size contributing to device miniaturization.
