Smart Technology Boosts Human Life Brings Market Opportunities for Electronic Components

【Industry Focus in China's Instrumentation Network Industry】 With the promotion of the trend of the Internet of Things, the intelligentization around homes and living has become a field where global technology companies are rushing to invest heavily. According to the latest research by Juniper Research, by 2018, the total size of the smart home market will reach US$71 billion, and the Chinese smart home market will reach 139.6 billion yuan, accounting for approximately 32% of the global total. It can be foreseen that the market capacity of smart life in the future can be described as unprecedented, which also provides great opportunities for electronic components based on smart devices. Based on this background, ROHM held the "2015 ROHM Science and Technology Exhibition" with the theme of "Roma's Contribution to Smart Living" in five cities across the country from June to August 2015.

"ROHM Technology Exhibition" is a local exhibition organized by ROHM. ROHM has partnered with agents active in the Chinese market to bring ROHM products such as smart home control terminals and smart meter solutions to the domestic audience. Among the numerous products and solutions exhibited at the site, the following technologies and solutions related to smart meters and the Internet of Things are more representative.

1 The Internet of Things (IoT) technology As an important component of the Internet of Things, sensing and wireless communication chips play an increasingly critical role. The ROHM Group has a large number of excellent sensing and wireless communication products. ROHM has proximity sensors, color sensors, geomagnetic sensors, barometric pressure sensors and other products. Its LAPIS Semiconductor has sensor products including infrared image sensors and UV sensors, as well as Sub-GHz wireless communication LSIs, Bluetooth wireless communication LSIs, and Zigbee wireless communication LSIs. In addition, its Kionix is ​​known for its small accelerometers. It not only has ultra-high-precision sensor technology, but also joins MEMS technology and establishes the world's highest standards.

At present, ROHM Group's numerous sensing and wireless communication products have not only been widely used in products including smart wristbands, smart watches and other wearable devices, but also include smart home control terminals, thermometers, indoor air detection, and access control systems. It is also widely used in smart home products. It is believed that ROHM Group's rich sensing and wireless communication products can contribute to the accelerated development of the Internet of Things.

2 Smart Meter Platform Solutions According to ABI Research, a scientific think tank, by 2020, the installed capacity of smart meters worldwide will reach 780 million units, while the Asia-Pacific region will account for 65% of the total installed capacity. In 2014, the installed capacity of smart meters in China was nearly 210 million units. A large number of deployments in China will promote the development of the global smart meter market. With the continuous improvement of the functions of smart meters, the complexity of system design has also increased, and the platformization of chips has become an important trend.

"Shanghai Gezhou Electronics Co., Ltd." has adopted ROHM's main chip, DC-DC converter, LCD driver chip, E2PROM and Schottky diode single-phase smart meter platform solutions have successfully entered the State Grid supply chain. At the same time, as a creative product for smart buildings and smart homes, ROHM's MCU and leakage protection ICs are also widely used in the design and development of timer products.

3 Low-Power Technology In recent years, under the background of seeking solutions to power supply problems on a global scale, the “power conversion” that involves how to effectively transmit and utilize the generated power has attracted much attention. SiC power devices have attracted attention as key devices that can significantly reduce this loss in power conversion. According to iHS company's survey data, the market capacity of SiC power devices in 2014 was 120 million US dollars. However, compared to the $10 billion market for silicon power devices, the market for SiC is still small, but the market for SiC power devices will maintain an annual growth rate of 18% in the future, indicating that the market's acceptance of this device is entering an accelerated phase. .

All along, ROHM has maintained its technological leadership in the field of SiC power devices, and strived to provide the best products and technical support for the system's low-power design. Since the successful mass production of SiC MOSFETs in 2010, the world’s first mass production of SiC power module products in 2012, and recently the first in the world to develop SiC-MOSFETs with a trench structure, and has established Complete production system. Compared with planar SiC-MOSFETs already in mass production, the on-resistance is reduced by about 50% while the switching performance is improved (approximately 35% reduction in input capacitance), which significantly reduces the power regulators and industrial equipment for solar power generation. With the power loss of all related equipment such as power supplies and industrial inverters, there will be great potential in smart transportation, clean energy such as solar energy and wind power.

In recent years, ROHM has been committed to leading the smart life of the future and continues to focus on many frontier fields such as smart homes, wearable devices, and smart medical services. We are pleased to see that through the ROHM Technology Exhibition Tournament, which will be held five times a year, more outstanding products and technologies will be presented to the Chinese market, allowing more ROHM products and technologies to reach users and helping more and more domestic companies. Users succeed and make more contributions to smart life.
