Automotive Revolution

Allegro MicroSystems' designs for automotive applications with a zero-defect culture, a safety mindset, and a track record of innovations that have dramatically improved the efficiency of powertrain, safety, and comfort systems. As vehicle technology continues to advance and car design trends shift to hybrid and fully electric vehicles, autonomous driving and power-hungry comfort and entertainment systems, one thing hasn't changed and that's the need for safe, reliable and proven technology.

Revolution in 48 V:

As an industry leader in power and sensing solutions, Allegro knows vehicle electrification and emission controls require innovative solutions for a 48 V powertrain. They offer one of the industry's largest portfolios of mild-hybrid solutions for advanced 48 V systems. With solutions to help achieve a lower system weight, increased mileage, and improvements in battery efficiency, Allegro can help bring breakthrough innovations to life with the latest development tools and personalized technical support to help simplify designs and reduce time-to-market.

One of the largest selection of 48 V automotive-grade 0 gate drivers:

Allegro knows vehicle electrification and emission controls require innovative solutions for a 48 V bus and that’s why they offer one of the most extensive portfolios of grade-0 48 V solutions that reduce environmental impact in mild-hybrid engines. The robust and system optimized family of 48 V products are designed for safety, including architectures for BLDC, DC motors, and half-bridge with independent high-side and low-side outputs. The motor driver portfolio has been expanded with a family of 48 V-ready devices on an ISO26262 compliant design process.

Size matters:

Allegro's compact current sensor solutions allow for reduction of size in inverters, reducing vehicle weight, and the number of components within the system (reducing BOM for the customer), and ensuring high power density, increasing efficiency overall. Allegro offers core-based and coreless current sensing IC solutions that are high-bandwidth efficient, user-programmable, and equipped with safety features such as self-checks and isolation capabilities that make them ideal for use in inverters for electric vehicle applications.
