Providing greater convenience, comfort, and safety
ROHM has developed a variety of sensor products based
on a wide range of technologies, from piezoelectric thin-film
deposition technology cultivated from high reliabilit y
semiconductor exper tise, silicon d eep etc hing, and
multilayer filter technologies to wafer bonding and advanced
packaging technologies.
With the addition of LAPIS Semiconductor, a pioneer in
sensing processing technology, in 2008, and global MEMS
accelerometer supplier Kionix in 2009, the ROHM Group
has established itself as a market leader in the sensor field,
offering an u
nprecedented lineup.
ROHM's industry-leading lineup includes motion sensing
devices capable of accurately detecting position and
movement, environmental sensors offering real-time
detection of ambient conditions, interface devices optimized
for amplifying, analyzing, and processing sensor signals,
and MCUs designed to control multiple sensors - along with
short-range wireless communication ICs and modules that
support sub-GHz, Bluetooth
®
, and wireless LAN. Combining
these gives designers the freedom and flexibility to create
sensor-based applications that can detect and transmit a
variety of information, opening up new possibilities.
ROHM offers total solutions optim
ized to customer needs by
combining proprietary technologies and market-proven
expertise covering the entire manufacturing process, from
silicon ingots used as core materials to device development,
including algorithms and driver software along with control
ASICs and wireless communication modules.
Leveraging the combined resources of the entire Group will
allow ROHM to engage in CSR activities while pursuing
greater safety, efficiency, convenience, and environmental
impact for t
he consumer, industrial, and automotive markets.
