Rohm announces EvKit for IoT to develop 8-type multi-sensor
Published2017.11.07 14:30100% compatible with Arduino boards
Rohm announced the completion of development of a sensor expansion board that enables simple measurement of 8 types of information including acceleration, atmospheric pressure, geomagnetic field, and pulse on open platforms such as Arduino, Lazurite, and mbed.
Recently, as IoT applications in infrastructure, agriculture, automotive and other fields have expanded, numerous services, applications, and devices for realizing IoT have emerged, and various companies are pursuing business targeting this market.
On the other hand, system development for realizing IoT requires extensive specialized knowledge in software and hardware as well as considerable development resources. Additionally, since each device has different implementation and development environments, testing and evaluation of boards is challenging.
To contribute to easy and rapid prototyping of IoT devices, Rohm focuses on open platforms that enable simple evaluation and develops and sells tools for open platforms such as the Lazurite series.
The SensorShield EVK-002 is the second new product in Rohm's open platform-compatible sensor evaluation kit lineup. The lineup has been updated from the first well-received product, and a new pulse wave sensor has been added. Eight types of sensors in the production stage are mounted on the board respectively, and an expansion board set for open platform connection is provided.
By connecting to widely used Arduino Uno and others worldwide and simply applying software, a sensor environment can be easily established. By simply evaluating and adopting sensor devices, development resources for IoT devices and other products can be significantly reduced.

ROHM Develops Automotive OP Amp Series That Eliminates No Noise Design
ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed the automotive ground-sense OP Amp "BA8290xYxx-C Series" (BA82904YF-C / BA82904YFVM-C / BA82902YF-C / BA82902YFV-C), which achieves outstanding EMI immunity for in-vehicle electrical systems adopting critical systems such as EV/HEV engines and automotive sensors. The BA8290xYxx-C Series is a product developed by integrating three analog technologies—circuit design, layout, and process—from ROHM. While output voltage fluctuation across all frequency bands is ±3.5% to ±10% for general-purpose products, this product realizes outstanding noise immunity of ±1% or less. By installing it at the output stage of devices such as sensors that output minute signals, signals can be amplified without being affected by noise, eliminating the need for conventional filter-based noise countermeasure design. This greatly contributes to reducing design man-hours in system development and enhancing reliability.
