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.
