KYOTO, Japan, March 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed 45V-rated 500mA-output primary LDO regulators: BD9xxM5-C. These devices are suitable for supplying power to automotive electronic components such as ECUs that operate from vehicle batteries.

Key Points: 
  • This increases demand for primary LDOs that can directly step down the battery voltage to MCUs and other components used in ECUs.
  • At the same time, ECUs and other downstream devices often experience load current variations during operation, which also demand excellent load-transient response characteristics.
  • The BD9xxM5-C incorporates original QuiCur(TM) high-speed load response technology that delivers excellent response characteristics to load current fluctuations.
  • ROHM will continue to improve reliability while reducing power consumption in automotive applications by developing products utilizing its strengths in analog and other technologies.
