ROHM has announced the development of the PMR series of ultra-low ohmic jumper resistors featuring significantly reduced conduction resistance (0.5mΩ max.) and higher rated current.
Jumper resistors are used in a variety of everyday electronic equipment, in switching circuits, or to make a shortcut between circuits. Although ideally jumper resistors have 0Ω, this is impossible to achieve in the real world, where previously the best jumpers measure in the tens of milliohms. However, in recent years, the increased functionality and larger currents used in the latest electronic devices make it impossible to ignore power losses and voltage drops in jumper resistors, increasing the need for lower resistance values.
ROHM’s PMR jumper series meets this need by utilizing a unique chip structure and a resistive element composed of a special alloy for superior conductivity. The result is ultra-low resistance – 1/100 that of conventional jumpers – along with minimal power loss and voltage drops, even at large currents. The lineup consists of five models, from the 1608 size (22.4A) to the 6432 size (63.2A), in order to meet a wide variety of needs.

In recent years Silicon Carbide (SiC) has emerged as one of the most viable candidates in the search for a next-generation, low-loss power semiconductor element due to its low ON resistance and superior high temperature, high frequency.
ROHM has released a new sensor shield (expansion board) equipped with 8 sensor boards (e.g. accelerometer, barometric pressure, geomagnetic, heart rate sensors, etc.) designed for use with existing open platform MCUboards such as Arduino, and mbed.
ROHM has launched a 12 to 76V input, 3A variable output voltage, DC/DC Buck converter with integrated 76V MOSFET optimized for high power (high voltage x large current) applications such as motors, factory automation equipment, communications
