If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds ...

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 ...

A new micropower linear Hall sensor targets extended battery life and precision motion feedback in gaming peripherals, IoT ...

Melexis has brought out a linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is available in multiple ...

Designed for EVs and HEVs, these current sensors deliver accurate, isolated measurement for batteries, motors, and safety ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

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 ...

Melexis has unveiled the MLX90296, a new micropower linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5µA at 100Hz and integrates digital filters for improved performance. Its flexible architecture is ...

Littelfuse has introduced a new range of automotive-qualified current sensors aimed at improving the performance, efficiency, ...

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 ...

Hall effect sensor ICs—boasting an installed base of billions of devices—steadily evolve while serving a broad range of motor control and automation applications. And automotive applications like ...

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. announced a new dual-channel, Hall-effect direction detection sensor IC, providing various digital output signals that indicate speed and direction of a target rotation. The ...
