ROHM Unveils Revolutionary CMOS Op Amp
In a remarkable advancement in semiconductor technology, ROHM Co., Ltd. has introduced the TLR1901GXZ, an ultra-compact CMOS Operational Amplifier (op amp) that boasts the lowest operating circuit current in the industry. This innovative product is specifically designed for usage in size-sensitive applications like handheld measurement devices, wearable technology, and indoor motion detection sensors.
Design Innovations and Specifications
The TLR1901GXZ leverages ROHM's cutting-edge process and packaging technologies alongside its proprietary Nano Energy technology. This op amp meets three crucial demands: reduced power consumption, heightened accuracy, and an ultra-compact size. With a footprint of less than 1mm²—thanks to its wafer-level chip scale package (WLCSP) featuring a fine ball pitch of 0.35mm—the TLR1901GXZ delivers an impressive typical operating current of just 160nA.
A standout feature of this product is its extremely low input offset voltage, capped at 0.55mV (max), one of the best ratings available within ultra-low current op amps. Additionally, it maintains a low input offset voltage temperature drift of 7µV per degree Celsius, ensuring reliable operational accuracy across a wide temperature range.
Future Developments and Enhancements
Looking ahead, ROHM aims to continue its commitment to further minimizing power usage in op amps by incorporating advancements in both size reduction and unique ultra-low power technologies. The company intends to enhance device performance by focusing on decreasing noise and offset values, extending the range of power supply voltages, and contributing solutions for societal challenges through more precise application controls.
This launch marks an exciting chapter for ROHM as it seeks to establish itself as a leader in precision measurement and control technologies.
Application Areas
The TLR1901GXZ is versatile and can be utilized in various settings, including:
- - Consumer Devices: Wearable technology, smart devices, and motion sensors.
- - Industrial Equipment: Gas detectors, fire alarms, handheld measurement tools, and environmental sensors tailored for IoT applications.
Pricing and Availability
The product is now available for online ordering, priced at $2.1 per unit (excluding tax). It can be accessed through major distributors like DigiKey and Mouser. As product availability expands, it will be offered through additional online channels, ensuring widespread accessibility for developers and manufacturers alike.
