There are four general categories of Hall-effect IC devices that provide a digital output: unipolar switches, bipolar switches, omnipolar switches and latches. Unipolar switches are described in this ...

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 ...

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 best place to measure current consumption is in the main power feed. The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary ...

Two similar families of precision, analog-output current sensors use the Hall effect to measure tens of amps with low drift and high linearity while providing 3-kVrms galvanic isolation. Current ...

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...

Miri is a creative writer with a passion for gaming and animation. She started gaming way back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis and has been a console gamer ever since. She's currently a ...

2001 - PACE Award Winner Micronas GmbH What: Linear Hall effect sensors Judge's Citation: How positions, levels, locations, and changes are sensed and measured in real time within automotive systems ...
