As the market leader in magnetic sensing, Allegro's current sensor integrated circuits (ICs) offer market-leading accuracy in measuring the electrical current flowing through vehicle motors. This accuracy enables precise motor control, resulting in a superior driving experience and increased range by minimizing power losses.
Overcurrent detection and self-diagnostics integrated into the IC allow BMW to achieve the highest level of safety and reliability, while reducing the number of components used in the traction inverter.
“For more than two decades, Allegro has worked closely with leading automotive customers to develop innovative, high-performance magnetic sensors that help increase power density and improve the efficiency of power electronics systems used in electric vehicles,” says Michael Doogue, Chief Technology Officer at Allegro. “We value our strong relationship with the BMW Group, whose innovative mindset, focus on high performance, and technical expertise positively influence Allegro’s technology and product roadmaps. Our expertise in Hall, TMR, coreless technologies, and Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) rated sensors enables our customers to meet their design objectives and accelerate their time to market.”
