Alps Alpine begins mass production of magnetic sensors for automotive

Alps Alpine has added two new products to its magnetic sensor lineup to support the ongoing electrification of vehicles. This builds on a track record in the automotive market in the areas of steering angle detection and electronic shifters.

Alps Alpine’s new magnetic sensors have a built-in amp to support size reductions and fulfill redundancy design needs with single-ended high output of 3Vpp. The dual-die model meets requirements for full redundancy design and can be supplied as a single product. Envisaged for use in automotive motors, the magnetic sensors can be used to create conditions resilient against outside magnetic disturbance. This is because they perform well in high-temperature environments up to 150°C while also achieving strong magnetic field resistance of 120mT through application of original thin-film technology.

The magnetic sensors are being mass produced with applications envisaged in automotive motors and 15 million units are expected to be sold in 2030.
