Company Overview

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. provides innovative system-level solutions in the design and manufacture of advanced mixed-signal Hall-effect sensor and analog power ICs. Allegro develops total solutions for many power IC and sensing applications. They provide vertically integrated mixed-signal ICs, adding more components and greater functionality, being the only Hall-effect manufacturer with BiCMOS design capabilities. BCD (Bi-polar, CMOS, DMOS) products offer greater efficiency and control.

Products

Current Sensors

The current sensor IC families are innovative, monolithic, isolated Hall-effect based devices that provide a fully-integrated solution in industry-leading small-sized packages.

Key features:

  • Low insertion loss down to 100µOhm, power dissipation much less than shunt solution
  • Able to monitor both AC and DC currents (5A to 200A solutions)
  • Smaller form factor than shunt and current transformer solutions
  • 5 V, single supply operation
  • Voltage isolation rating certified by TUV America (up to 3kV)
  • RoHS compliant

 

Hall-Effect Sensor ICs

As the world leader in Hall-Effect Sensor ICs, Allegro offers a broad line of silicon-based products that serve many high-end applications within automotive and industrial electronics. Allegro's sensor ICs are based on Hall-effect technology, which allows contactless sensing devoid of mechanical wear, sensing either an external magnet or a ferrous object. Specifically, Hall-effect sensor ICs are used for highly accurate gear-tooth sensing, direction detection, linear sensing, speed sensing, position sensing and contactless switching.
