Early in the study of electronics we are introduced to magnetism. The lines of force can be demonstrated by iron filings on a sheet of paper with a magnet underneath. In school science class, we made ...

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 ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Offering alternatives to shunt resistors, Hall-effect devices have evolved to offer the accuracy and stability necessary for measuring current in demanding high-voltage ...

Melexis has squeezed a magnetic circuit inside an SMD package to get an end-sensitive Hall effect latch for slimline motor applications. “We’ve responded to the automotive industry’s demand for more ...
