TDK-Micronas is the center of excellence for magnetic field sensors and CMOS integration within the TDK Group. We have more than 25 years of experience in on-site manufacturing of semiconductors for sensor and actuator solutions for automotive and industrial electronics.

Automotive industry trends towards CO2 reduction, connectivity, vehicle electrification and autonomous driving demand an increasing number of magnetic field sensors in various applications. To meet this demand, TDK offers the largest portfolio of switches, linear, direct-angle and current sensors currently available under the Micronas brand name. Our sensors work in seat belt buckles, steering and door locking systems, wheel speed counters, transmission shifters, ignitions or pedal mechanics, among other applications. Furthermore, in modern electric vehicles, for example, hydraulic systems are replaced by small electric motors. To control BLDC, BDC and stepper motors in automotive applications, as well as in robotics and related industrial applications, TDK-Micronas develops cost-effective, compact and high-performance embedded motor controllers. These single-chip control solutions offer higher system efficiency, thereby reducing motor size and weight with improved reusability and flexibility. As a pioneer in technological advancement, TDK is making cars more comfortable, fuel-efficient and safer on roads around the world.

Major trends in the automotive industry, such as CO2 reduction and vehicle electrification, are demanding stricter controls, thus increasing the demand for magnetic field sensors. More than 85% of automotive magnetic field sensors are based on the Hall effect. TDK-Micronas offers the largest Hall-effect sensor portfolio for automotive applications, such as switches, linear, direct-angle and current sensors.
