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 ...

This document presents an application guide of Hall-Effect integrated circuits (ICs). It covers low-cost simplified switching, low-cost linear sensor ICs, sensitive circuits for rugged service, linear ...

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 ...

There are plenty of PC joysticks out there, but that didn’t stop [dizekat] from building his own. Most joysticks measure position mechanically using potentiometers or encoders. Only a few high-end ...

Hall effect sensors are everywhere right now. Keyboards, game controllers, and DIY kits use them for more precise inputs. But with any newly popular device, it can be easy to immediately jump onto the ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

Current sensing is on a trajectory to intersect with the global high-voltage trend of robust, high-performing systems. Discover the tradeoffs between isolated shunt-based, closed-loop Hall-effect, and ...
