Mike Doogue, president and CEO of Allegro Microsystems, said in a September 2025 interview that he has been with the company for 27 years, starting as a chip designer and later becoming the company's first CTO before assuming the CEO role in February 2025. He described the transition as easier due to his long tenure and noted that the company ships over a billion ICs annually. Doogue stated that Allegro is number one in the world in magnetic field sensors and has world-class power IC technology focused on automotive-grade, high-temperature applications. He said the company peaked at about a billion dollars in revenue but is currently running at around $725 million due to customer inventory corrections. Doogue discussed several areas of focus, including high-voltage current sensors capable of withstanding thousands of volts of isolation for use in 800-volt automotive batteries and industrial applications. He said the company acquired a developer of isolated gate drivers that integrate a DC-to-DC converter and gate driver in a single package. Doogue also highlighted robotics as a major market expansion opportunity, noting that every joint in humanoid robots typically requires a motor driver with position and current sensor feedback. He emphasized the importance of customer intimacy and close collaboration, particularly in automotive where the company has decades-long relationships with tier ones and OEMs. Doogue advised people starting their careers to "figure out where you can add value" and to extend maximum effort on projects that matter.
“I actually made a little G probe on the cheap and surprisingly enough for me the sensor division of Allegro was about an hour's drive from Dartmouth and before you knew it I was having conversations with the company about what they do and what differentiates them in the semiconductor market.”
“We ship over a billion ICs into various applications every year and who would have thought that it started just on a little exploratory mission during university.”
“When I started, I was working in our speed sensor group. They are at the heart of ICE power trains, camshaft, crankshaft sensors, and even used in anti-lock brake systems on the wheels. They are used internally in EV power trains as well, especially hybrids.”
“My mentor Robbie Vig wanted someone from an engineering perspective to stand up and lead a new group doing electrical current sensing. This technology uses magnetic field sensors to sense current carrying wires with galvanic isolation, regardless of voltage levels.”
