Key Market Trends
Automotive Industry to Hold Considerable Market Share
With increased automotive technology advancements, the trends toward electric vehicle production are highly recommended in various countries. A complex architectural diagram of an electric car generally incorporates multiple current sensors. Besides this, current sensors are also needed for brushless (BLDC) electric motor control. The EVs of companies like BMW, Volkswagen, etc. use this motor-control-current device.
Typically, current sensors are found in battery current monitoring, solar power inverters, and power inverters that drive traction motors in mid and full hybrid electric vehicles. CMOS Hall-effect-based magnetic sensors integrate advanced features and provide high-level output signals functionality. Sophisticated magnetic sensors hold programmable memory and even microcontroller logic allowing for a fully custom-calibrated output. Additionally, it is possible to implement standard interfaces that simplify communication with other circuits in EVs.
Furthermore, the hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) is quickly becoming the most popular green car and employs complex electronic circuitry to control the flow of electric energy through the vehicle. In a single-motor HEV, the motor acts as a drive motor in parallel with the internal combustion engine or as a generator to charge the battery during regenerative braking. A typical HEV contains various systems that require electrical current sensors for maximally efficient operation, including AC motor and DC-DC converter applications. According to the US Department of Energy, in 2021, the sales of HEVs increased by about 76% compared to the previous year.
Players like Allegro MicroSystems have developed a broad family of current sensor integrated circuits (ICs) that are ideally suited for HEV applications. The features include signal processing and package design innovations enabling 120 kHz output bandwidth, high current resolution, low noise spectral density, reduced power loss through-hole compliance, and low-resistance integrated conductor packages.

The average price for Russia's Urals oil blend was $57.49 per barrel between Nov. 15 and Dec. 14, Russia's Finance Ministry said late on Thursday, below the Western cap of $60. That means Western shippers and insurers in countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict would still be able to provide services to cover shipments of Russian crude without fear of being sanctioned. The drop from the average Urals price of $71.10 in the previous month was not because the country observed the price cap – which Moscow has said is illegal and threatened to cut oil output in response – but due to a general downward trend in global oil prices over the period.
