Asahi Kasei Microdevices/AKM - Sensors, Transducers

In 1983, Asahi Chemical Industry Co and Asahi Microsystems Inc. jointly established Asahi Kasei Microsystems, Inc., referred to as AKM in Japan, focusing on the development and production of various advanced sensor devices and precision integrated circuit products using analog/digital mixed signal technology. AKM has earned its reputation in the industry by successfully developing CMOS-based mixed signal integrated circuits. This innovation has also greatly reduced the cost of producing such integrated circuits and demonstrated good application prospects. ‌Through its products and solutions, the company aims to provide new experiences and values ​​to end users, realize the Asahi Kasei Group values ​​of "honesty", "challenge" and "creation", and contribute to the "life" and "living" of the global public. ‌ AKM's product line covers a variety of advanced sensor devices based on compound semiconductor technology. These sensor devices are widely used in systems that require long-term operation, such as the high-voltage SiC platform of electric vehicles, which requires high precision, high sensitivity, low heat generation, and miniaturization of current sensors. AKM's current sensors are developed precisely to meet these needs. Its technological innovation and product focus represent the general trend and direction of the current sensor field, and it has become a leader in market development. AKM's brand concept and technological innovation not only reflect its professional capabilities and foresight in the electronics field, but also demonstrate Asahi Kasei Group's deep understanding and satisfaction of the global market and user needs. Through continuous technological research and development and innovation, AKM is committed to providing users with more efficient and reliable electronic solutions, thereby occupying an important position in the global electronics industry.

A sensor is a detection device. It can sense the information being measured and convert the sensed information into electrical signals or other required forms of information output according to certain rules to meet the requirements of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control. The information input source sensed by the sensor can be any of light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure or many other environmental phenomena. Sensors are usually composed of sensitive elements and conversion elements.
