In August 2014, ROHM Semiconductor Singapore Pvt Ltd developed low ohmic chip resistors optimised for current detection applications in compact equipment such as smartphones and wearable devices. The UCR006 series of ultra compact (0.6×0.3mm/0.2×0.1 inch), thick film chip resistors is offered in resistances as low as 100mΩ, providing greater energy savings. These are also the first 0.6×0.3mm/0.2×0.1 inch (0603-size (mm)/0201-size (inch)) resistors in the industry to ensure a temperature range of -55 to 155°C in the low ohmic region, and feature twice the rated power compared with competing products in the same size, enabling support for a wide range of applications. This higher power handling capability in a smaller size makes these resistors ideal replacements for larger 1005-size (mm)/0402-size (inch) resistors, contributing to further miniaturisation. ROHM’s latest series utilises new materials and a new structure to achieve class-leading low resistance (100mΩ) in a 0603-size (mm), thick-film design.
