Simply Wall St · 1d ago
  • ROHM Co., Ltd. recently launched the BD83070GWL-EVK-002 evaluation board to showcase its BD83070GWL buck-boost DC-DC converter IC, which combines high efficiency, ultra-low quiescent current and an ultra-compact 12.87 mm² footprint for small battery-powered devices.
  • By pairing this board with publicly available reference designs and layout data, ROHM is lowering design barriers for wearables, IoT nodes and other compact electronics that require longer battery life and reduced board space.
