Less expensive than conventional capacitive touchscreen control; internal CPU supports dual-touch gesture sensing without external resistors; built-in compensation circuits facilitate volume manufacturing

The new BU21023/BU21024 series of high-speed, high noise immunity, low-voltage resistive touchscreen controllers are now available from ROHM Semiconductor. These new controllers are the industry’s first to enable multi-touch (two-point) operation and intuitive gesture control, including pinching, spreading and rotating – previously possible only with more expensive capacitive touch systems.

ROHM Semiconductor has expanded its widely used lineup of high speed switching, high voltage resistance MOSFETs for PFC circuits in switching power supplies and main switch circuits. A variety of package types are available in both, surface mount (i.e. CPT/D-PAK, LPT/D2-PAK) and through-hole (e.g. TO-3PF) configurations. The new series, truly lives up to its name PrestoMOSTM, as it features low trr characteristics for high speed, high speed switc...

OKI Semiconductor (part of the ROHM Group) is developing a new memory technology called ferroelectric RAM (FeRAM). This new series will amend the memory line-up of the ROHM Group, which already consists of EEPROM, DRAM and P2ROM and is presented at PCIM in Nuremberg (May 17-19, Hall 12, Booth 480).

Semiconductor manufacturer ROHM has developed the BD65491FV (1-channel) and BD65492MUV (2-channel) high-speed motor drivers for use in a broad range of digital camera lens drive and home appliance motor drive applications.

ROHM Semiconductor presents its new monolithic optical proximity and digital ambient light sensor IC family, meeting the needs for greener, more user-friendly sensing and providing greater interactivity with lower power consumption. The BH1771GLC series is ideal for all applications requiring touchless motion sensing.

The single converter design results in higher efficiency (85%) than conventional two-converter systems. Additional features include high frequency operation, a thin form factor, color (light temperature) switching, dual outputs, and universal input, making it easy to add increased functionality to LED lighting equipment.
