Secular technology trends, including electrification, automation, AI data center expansion, and increasing energy efficiency, are driving growing demand for precision sensing and power solutions. In automotive markets, these trends are accelerating the adoption of electrified powertrains and safety-critical Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (“ADAS”), such as steering and braking systems. In industrial markets, these trends are driving greater power density, and increasing requirements for automation and thermal efficiency across AI data centers, robotics, and energy infrastructure. We believe these trends favor our differentiated sensing and power technologies and support sustained demand for our solutions.
Our technology leadership is built on decades of innovation across both magnetic sensor and power ICs. We develop highly differentiated solutions by combining proprietary circuit technologies, application-optimized packaging, and deep system-level expertise, supported by unique and proprietary wafer process technologies. Our specialized capabilities include high-temperature operation, high-speed and high-precision signal processing, and compliance with stringent automotive safety and reliability standards. These capabilities are enabled by our 120-volt (“120V”) capable Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (“BCD”) wafer process technology, which integrates bipolar, complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (“CMOS”), and double-diffused metal-oxide semiconductor (“DMOS”) transistors on a single chip. This BCD wafer technology supports both sensing and power products and scales across multiple end markets.
This common technology foundation has enabled us to apply a consistent design and innovation blueprint across successive generations of products, establishing a strong competitive position in demanding automotive and industrial applications.
Within magnetic sensing, we offer the industry’s broadest portfolio of sensor ICs, spanning Hall-effect, giant magnetoresistive (“GMR”), and tunneling magnetoresistive (“TMR”) sensor technologies (together, “xMR”). We pioneered a systems-level approach that integrates value-added packaging elements, such as current-carrying conductors, magnets, and discrete components, along with precision analog circuits, intelligent digital logic, and calibration to develop specialized sensor ICs. This integration enables market-leading sensor ICs optimized for high-growth applications. We are among a limited number of semiconductor companies offering monolithic and high temperature rated TMR-based solutions, which provide higher sensitivity, low power consumption, and compact form factors. TMR is becoming a foundational element of our innovation strategy. An increasing percentage of new product development is focused on using TMR sensors to improve the performance or efficiency of hybrid electric vehicles (“HEV”s) and battery electric vehicles (“BEV”s) (together, “xEV”s), ADAS systems, and advanced robots.
In power ICs, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance solutions, including motor drivers, voltage regulators, isolated gate drivers (“IGD”), and power management ICs (“PMIC”s), built on our proprietary BCD process technology. We leverage a systems-level approach that integrates high-voltage power transistors with precision analog circuits, intelligent digital logic and control algorithms, and advanced power packaging, such as integrated capacitors and thermally enhanced leadframes, to develop specialized power solutions. This monolithic integration enables us to deliver market-leading efficiency, superior thermal performance, and high-temperature capability in compact form factors. We are a leader in high-voltage and high-current power ICs that incorporate embedded control algorithms to eliminate customer code development and reduce audible noise. Our power innovation strategy is increasingly

Our Market
Within the global semiconductor industry, we focus on the magnetic sensor and power IC markets, serving higher growth applications, primarily in automotive and industrial markets, including advanced industrial markets such as AI data centers, robotics, and energy infrastructure.
Automotive Focus Applications: xEV Powertrain and ADAS
We focus on vehicle electrification and automation, including xEV powertrains and the expanding adoption of ADAS. These trends are driving increased semiconductor content per vehicle and higher demand for both sensing and power solutions. The transition to electrified powertrains and 48V electrical architectures is increasing demand for our sensor and power products built on our proprietary 120V BCD process technology. Our 120V BCD-based solutions consolidate power management and protection, reducing component count and improving overall system reliability.
We are a leading provider of sensing and power solutions for vehicle electrification, building on decades of experience in powertrain efficiency and performance in conventional vehicles. Improving efficiency is critical as original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) seek to extend driving range, meet emissions regulations, and address heightened customer focus on environmental impact. As xEVs represent a growing share of global vehicle production, OEMs are redesigning systems to improve energy efficiency, creating opportunities for increased semiconductor content per vehicle. We believe our continued investment in research and development (“R&D”) positions us to drive both content expansion and market share gains in this high-growth focus area.
Our IGD portfolio provides additional content opportunities in xEV powertrains. Our first-to-market Power-Thru gate driver technology integrates an isolated DC-DC converter and an IGD into a single IC, reducing component count and improving efficiency compared to multi-chip solutions. This integration enables smaller printed circuit boards (“PCBs”) and more compact systems, such as on-board chargers and traction motor inverters. We continue to advance this technology to support high-voltage gallium nitride (“GaN”) and silicon carbide (“SiC”) solutions used in xEV power conversion systems.
Industry experts see ADAS adoption continuing to expand across vehicle classes globally, driven by demand for safety and automation features. Our sensor and power ICs are used in steering and braking systems that enable functions such as collision avoidance, lane-keep assist, automatic emergency braking, and self-parking. Even modest levels of automation utilize products across our portfolio, including sensors, PMICs, and motor drivers. We believe that our content per ADAS system will increase as ADAS architectures evolve from electric power steering to steer-by-wire systems and from electro-hydraulic braking to electro-mechanical braking systems. As these ADAS architectures become more sophisticated, more semiconductor content is required per system. While we are positioned for this long-term shift toward higher automation, we are currently capturing significant value in the existing market. Today, our solutions are already widely deployed in Level 1 and 2 ADAS systems across both xEV and internal combustion engine (“ICE”) vehicles, allowing us to participate in ADAS growth without reliance on full vehicle autonomy.
TMR technology, marketed under the XtremeSense™ brand, strengthens our sensor portfolio and is a pillar of our innovation strategy. TMR enables higher sensitivity, lower power consumption, faster response times, and smaller form factors compared to other magnetic technologies. TMR solutions are well-suited to support high-accuracy sensing in electric powertrains and safety-critical steering and braking systems.

In data center power supplies, our current sensor ICs improve efficiency and power density in power conversion systems, particularly as architectures transition to higher operating voltages such as 48V and 800V. Our galvanically isolated current sensors are well suited for these environments. We believe demand for our Hall-effect and TMR current sensors ICs will increase as data center power density requirements rise.
IGDs are also gaining traction in data center applications. Our compact, single-package gate driver solutions improve power density and efficiency and shrink the overall size of power conversion systems.
This momentum is reflected in our fiscal year 2026 performance, as data center sales represented an increasing percentage of our total revenue. Both motor drivers and current sensors contributed to fiscal year 2026 sales, while IGDs are being sampled and tested by customers for the next generation of data centers.
Factory automation and robotics represent additional high-growth opportunities driven by demand for precise motion control and energy-efficient systems. Robotics applications, including warehouse, industrial, collaborative, and humanoid robots, require high-accuracy, reliability, and safety specifications that align closely with our automotive ADAS heritage. We believe we are well positioned to leverage synergies across our sensor and power portfolios, including motor drivers as well as current, position, and angle sensors, to expand our presence in these emerging markets. Industrial customers value our rigorous quality standards and devices designed to perform reliably over long product lifecycles.
Other Industrial Markets
The other industrial markets comprise energy infrastructure, personal mobility, power tools, heavy transport equipment, medical, and consumer applications.
Energy infrastructure growth is being driven by the increased electrification of a variety of products and processes, government regulations to reduce emissions, and the rising power demands of AI data centers. Applications, including solar inverters, xEV charging infrastructure, and grid infrastructure seek the same efficiency and power density as xEVs. We enable more efficient use of grid-delivered power by supporting higher-voltage, higher-efficiency power architectures that reduce losses between the grid connection and the point of load. By deploying XtremeSense™ TMR current sensors and integrated power ICs, we enable smarter, more efficient power conversion and fault detection. These ICs are essential for managing the extreme load fluctuations and bidirectional energy flows inherent in the “Age of Electricity.” Our technology allows grid infrastructure to support significantly higher power densities while reducing energy waste.
Personal mobility applications, including two-wheelers, are experiencing electrification trends similar to larger automobiles and require compact, high-performance solutions with long product lifecycles. Our automotive-grade quality standards provide industrial customers with robust, high-performance solutions that have earned trust across markets.
Consumer applications include smart home products, gaming equipment, power tools, and personal medical devices. Our low-power XtremeSense™ TMR and Hall-effect sensors, along with efficient motor drivers, enable more energy-efficient consumer products with extended battery life.

Market Opportunity and Served Available Market (“SAM”)
Within our target markets, our growth opportunity extends beyond unit deployment and is increasingly driven by structural market shifts and long-term megatrends that expand semiconductor content per system. These trends include electrification, automation, AI data centers, and robotics, each of which is driving higher system power, greater architectural complexity, and increased requirements for sensing, control, and power management. As these markets evolve, growth is increasingly defined by rising content per system rather than unit volumes alone, expanding our SAM even in periods of moderated end-market growth.
Across these target automotive and industrial markets, our sensor and power ICs are frequently deployed together to deliver complete solutions for precision motion control and efficient power management. These integrated solutions enable smaller, more efficient electric motors, improved power density, enhanced safety, and reduced total system cost, while supporting increasing semiconductor content per system in our target applications.
We are a market share leader in magnetic sensor ICs and believe there is an opportunity to grow this foundational business by aligning our portfolio with the highest growth applications within magnetic sensing. The transition to xEVs, ADAS, AI data centers, and robotics is driving demand for precise, high-bandwidth current and position sensing to enable efficient power conversion and motor control, as well as compliance with increasingly stringent performance and safety requirements. Our XtremeSense™ TMR technology underpins differentiated products, including industry-leading 10 MHz current sensors designed to support fast-switching GaN and SiC power devices. As system architectures evolve, specifically through the transition to electro-mechanical braking in vehicles and the build-out of high-power AI data centers, the sensing intensity per system is increasing in both volume and value, resulting in content gains. Adoption of TMR and inductive angular position sensors is also increasing to enable precise motion control in ADAS and robotics systems.
We are also expanding our power IC portfolio to increase content in automotive and industrial applications where electrification and energy efficiency are driving design changes. xEVs require a growing number of motors to support pumps, fans, and safety-critical systems. Next-generation vehicle architectures, such as electro-mechanical braking and steer-by-wire, meaningfully increase power IC semiconductor content per system. In parallel, AI data centers continue to evolve toward higher rack power, increased airflow requirements, and advanced liquid cooling solutions. These shifts increase demand for efficient motor drivers and power solutions while enabling content growth that scales faster than end-market unit volumes.
We also see an opportunity to expand our presence in IGDs as power conversion architectures evolve across xEVs, AI data centers, and energy infrastructure. The accelerating adoption of SiC and GaN power devices reflects customer demand for higher efficiency, smaller system size, and improved thermal performance. Our IGDs are designed to enable efficient, reliable operation of these next-generation power systems, supporting higher power throughput and contributing to meaningful increases in semiconductor content per system.
The same content expansion dynamics are emerging across industrial automation and robotics. As robots become more capable and are deployed at greater scale, systems will increasingly require multiple motors, precise position sensing, and advanced power management within each joint and subsystem. These increasing per system requirements create opportunities for multiple Allegro devices within a single robotic platform and represent an additional long-term expansion of our SAM.

Manufacturing and Raw Materials
Our fabless manufacturing strategy consists of a combined internal and external sourcing model. We operate as a fabless company for semiconductor wafer fabrications, relying entirely on third-party foundry partners. For our back-end manufacturing, we use a combination of internal and external resources. Our facility in the Philippines (“AMPI”) serves as our primary internal assembly and testing site. We supplement AMPI’s capacity with a network of external subcontractors located throughout the world. Additionally, we are expanding our regional manufacturing footprint by qualifying additional wafer foundries and outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (“OSAT”) partners in Asia, which enhances supply chain resilience and supports continuity of service to our regional customers.
Our manufacturing processes use raw materials, including silicon wafers, laminate substrates, lead frames, gold and copper wires, rare earth materials, including samarium used in our magnetic sensors, and molding compounds. We seek to obtain these materials from our suppliers in a timely manner to align our production with customer demand. We work closely with our key third-party suppliers, providing rolling forecasts to help ensure an adequate supply of materials and wafer capacity. However, these suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies, or increase prices due to factors beyond our or their control, including geopolitical and international trade restrictions. Our reliance on this hybrid manufacturing model and our supply chain involves a number of risks, which are described in more detail under “
