Researchers have invented Hall effect magnetic field sensors that are operable at high temperatures and harmful radiation conditions. The sensors will find applications in space craft and nuclear ...

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 ...

When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the current is flowing and of an applied magnetic field. This physical phenomenon ...

Texas Instruments is claiming “industry’s most accurate 3D Hall-effect position sensor” for one that provides 2.6% full-scale total error at room temperature ...

The TMAG5134 in-plane Hall-effect switch from TI offers a cost-effective alternative to magnetoresistive (MR) sensors for position sensing. An integrated magnetic concentrator enables detection of ...

Diodes is aiming at contactless rotary motion and proximity detection with a 3D Hall-effect magnetic field sensor. Automotive applications are envisaged, include infotainment rotary and push selectors ...

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 ...
