Description

ROHM Co., Ltd., a global manufacturer and seller of electronic components, was founded in 1940 in Kyoto, Japan. Originally known as Toyo Electronics Industry Corporation, the company adopted its current name in 1981. Its operations are structured into three main segments: Integrated Circuits (ICs), Discrete Semiconductor Devices, and Modules. ROHM's comprehensive IC offerings span a wide range of products including memory, amplifiers, power management units, timing devices, switches, logic circuits, data converters, various sensors (including MEMS), display and motor/actuator drivers, interface solutions, communication and speech synthesis LSI, audio/video components, and microcontrollers. Within its discrete semiconductor division, the company provides MOSFETs, bipolar transistors, and diodes, along with sophisticated power devices like SiC power devices, IGBTs, and IPMs, in addition to standard power transistors and diodes. Beyond these core categories, ROHM also manufactures passive components such as resistors and both conductive polymer and tantalum capacitors. Its module portfolio includes solutions for wireless communication and charging, as well as print heads. The opto device range features LEDs, LED displays, laser diodes, and optical sensors. Furthermore, the company offers commercial products like chipsets and specialized foundry services for thin-film piezoelectric MEMS, wafers, and WL-CSP. The company's diverse products are utilized across various industries, notably in industrial equipment, automotive systems, and consumer electronics. ROHM actively engages in strategic alliances, including a partnership with Geely Automobile Group Co., Ltd. focused on advancing automotive technologies, and a collaboration with Delta Electronics, Inc. for the development and production of gallium nitride power devices.
