Major Current Sensor companies include:

  • Asahi Kasei Corporation (Japan)
  • Infineon Technologies AG (Germany)
  • Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. (US)
  • LEM International SA (Switzerland)
  • TDK Corporation (Japan).

In January 2025, Allegro MicroSystems introduced two new current sensor ICs, the ACS37030MY and ACS37220MZ, designed for precise current sensing in compact durable packages. These sensors offer a 40% smaller footprint compared to existing 16-pin packages, providing higher isolation and lower resistance to reduce power dissipation.

In October 2023, TDK Corporation and LEM International SA announced a collaboration to develop nextgeneration integrated current sensors (ICS) utilizing Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology. TDK will design custom TMR dies, which LEM will integrate into their ICS products. This collaboration aims to create sensors that are faster, more accurate, and exhibit lower noise than existing solutions, targeting applications in the automotive electrification, renewable energy, and industrial sectors.

Asahi Kasei Corporation is a Japanese multinational corporation with diversified interests in chemicals, materials, healthcare, and electronics. Under the electronics division, its unit Asahi Kasei Microdevices (AKM) deals in high-tech semiconductor technology products like audio devices, magnetic sensors, and power management ICs.
