The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

The difference between Hall-effect sensors and Hall elements. Why Hall-effect sensors provide more than on and off information. How Hall-effect sensors can detect magnetic fields from an extended ...

Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

While TMR works differently, it's a similar concept to Hall effect devices. When you move a TMR joystick, it moves a magnet ...

This post is a quick writeup about Winson WCS Series Hall Effect Linear Current Sensors! I have the Winson WCS2702 current sensor in my hand right now, so I will write about it here. According to the ...
