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 ...

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 ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. High-voltage systems including electric vehicles, industrial robots, communications infrastructure equipment, and renewable-energy installations often ...

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 ...

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 ...

There are two sensor choices, reed and Hall-effect switches. They have many similarities but also significant differences, explains Martin Reizner. Demand for reed switches has risen significantly in ...
