Collaboration with top manufacturers in the industry

Increasing energy savings by optimizing entire systemsRather than single devices, ROHM has long been proposing total solutions that fuse digital and analog technologies, utilizing the strengths of LSIs, discrete components, and modules. In recent years, ROHM has been working with CPU manufacturers from the development stage in order to optimize entire systems and better respond to customer needs.

Intel CorporationROHM has been collaborating with Intel since around 2008, co-developing chipsets and reference boards for embedded devices for automotive systems and industrial equipment along with power supply ICs for tablets and in-vehicle infotainment.

In September 2013, ROHM began collaborations with Freescale Semiconductor, Inc., which is one of the automotive market leaders in worldwide. ROHM supports Freescale MCUs by providing automotive-grade ICs and discrete devices.
