ROHM Sensors & MEMS

ROHM offers a broad portfolio of sensors, Hall ICs, Ambient Light Sensor ICs, Optical Proximity Sensor ICs, Temperature Sensor ICs, Amplifier for Human Body Detector, Capacitive, Switch Control ICs, Touch Screen Control ICs, MEMS Sensors, Optical Sensors (Module Sensors).

›Geomagnetic Sensor IC

3-axis magnetic sensor which incorporates magneto-impedance (MI) elements to detect magnetic field and a control IC in a small package. The MI sensor features significantly lower current consumption and noise compared with conventional methods, making it suitable for not only for standard ecompass applications but sets requiring even higher accuracy as well.

›Hall ICs

For applications requiring open/close or slide detection (i.e. in mobile phones), ROHM offers magnetic switch Hall ICs and Hall ICs for wheel keys and trackballs.

›Color Sensor ICs

Rohm's Color Sensor ICs sense Red, Green and Blue light (RGB) and converts them to digital values. The high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and excellent IR-cut characteristics makes this IC the most suitable to obtain the illuminance and color temperature of ambient light for adjusting LCD backlight of TV, mobile phone and tablet PC.

›Optical Sensor for Heart Rate Monitor

ROHM's Optical Sensor for Heart Rate Monitor incorporates an LED driver and a green light detection photo-diode. It drives LED and provides the intensity of light reflected from body. LED brightness can be adjusted by LED driver current and light emitting period. The photodiode having the high sensitivity for green light, excellent wavelength selectivity and excellent lrcut characteristics achieves accurate pulse wave detection.

ROHM proximity sensors can be used with pyroelectric infrared sensors in human body sensing applications.

›Capacitive Switch Control ICs

ROHM electrostatic sensor control ICs integrate sensor data processing and application functions, reducing host CPU load.

›Optical Sensors

ROHM's optical sensors include high sensitivity, high reliability phototransistors, infrared light emitting diodes, transmission type photointerruptors and reflective type photointerruptors.

›Current Sensor IC

Ultra-High-Sensitivity contactless current sensor utilizing MI technology. It enables current detection without drawing current into the package. Contactless current sensing minimizes power loss. A contact-type low-side current sensor IC that utilizes a shunt resistor is also offered.

›Ambient Light Sensor ICs

ROHM ambient light sensors feature optical characteristics close to the human eye, enabling automatic backlight adjustment in displays for lower power consumption and optimum visibility.

›Pressure Sensor ICs

ROHM's piezoresistive pressure sensor makes it easy to obtain high accuracy pressure information by performing temperature correction based on proprietary algorithms via an internal IC. Detects differences in height (altitude) through pressure changes in wearable devices, activity monitors, and advanced detection for indoor navigation in smartphones and tablets.

›Temperature Sensor ICs

ROHM temperature sensor ICs integrate a temperature detection function on a single chip, reducing costs for customers.

›Shock Sensor Amplifier

ROHM’s impact sensor amp is ideal for amplifying impact detection sensor signals in control applications such as HDDs.In addition to excellent S/N characteristics, a notch filter is built in that reduces the effects of the resonance point of shock sensors.
