Electro-hydraulic / electric power steering and steer by wire systems must translate the intended steering angle into precise, responsive motor torque with zero tolerance for lag or drift over the vehicle's lifetime.

Vishay offers reverse blocking diodes, ORing controllers, and other circuit protection devices for input power protection and Schottky rectifiers, power MOSFETs, power modules, and motor driver ICs to handle the steering motor current demands with high efficiency. Our non-contacting Hall effect position sensors deliver accurate steering angle and torque feedback, while optocouplers, current sensing resistors, and capacitors enable a compact, functionally safe steering control unit.

Behind electric power steering is The DNA of tech.®
