Company Overview and Strategy
Allegro MicroSystems is the former semiconductor branch of Sprague Technologies, Inc. In 1990, Sprague was
purchased by Japan's Sanken Electric and renamed Allegro MicroSystems. Today, Allegro is functionally and
structurally an independently operating organization as a wholly owned subsidiary of Sanken Electric.
Allegro MicroSystems specializes in the design, manufacture, and marketing of advanced mixed-signal ICs. The
company is the world leader in Hall-effect sensor ICs and a prominent supplier of power and smart power ICs.
Allegro's customers are OEM's primarily serving the automotive and industrial markets, but also the consumer,
telecommunications, computer mass storage, and printer markets.
