AMS Osram
ams OSRAM is a global semiconductor and photonics company formed through the merger of ams AG and OSRAM, with strong magnetic sensor capabilities inherited from ams’ heritage in high-precision analog mixed-signal ICs. The company’s magnetic sensor product line spans a broad range of 3D magnetic position sensors, angle sensors, linear position sensors, and joystick sensors built on Hall effect and AMR technologies — including the widely used AS5xxx series of contactless rotary encoders that have become a reference standard for motor commutation, robotics, and industrial position sensing. ams OSRAM serves automotive, industrial, medical, consumer electronics, and communications markets, and its magnetic sensors are particularly valued for their high resolution, low power, and compact form factor in applications such as brushless DC motor commutation, multi-turn position detection, and joystick and pedal position sensing.
