The latest automotive designs require smart sensors to deliver the high level of precision and robustness linked with the capability of local pre-processing of the measured data. HAL 28xy devices meet ...

This application note presents some of the fundamental information about Hall-Effect sensors. It also presents the basics of magnetics, and the added value of programmable sensors and sensor interface ...

The increasing requirement for stray-field compensation is creating new challenges for the design of magnetic sensors. Paired with increased functional safety requirements, as per ISO 26262 for ...

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 ...

Factory-programmable digital Hall-effect sensors developed by Melexis Technologies integrate EEPROM memory that enables configuration of magnetic switching thresholds (including hysteresis).

NewTek Sensor Solutions has launched the RVD Series Hall Effect angle sensors. The combination of Hall Effect technology and the non-contact design of these sensors measures rotational position ...

Competitive gamers look for every advantage they can get, and that drive has spawned some of the zaniest gaming peripherals under the sun. There are plenty of hardware components that actually offer ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...
