The low power consumption, cost-effectiveness, and smaller footprints offered by Hall-effect sensors make them strong candidates for a wide range of designs and applications.

Insensitivity to TiltThe differential sensor, which possesses an inherent ability to reject offsets, when integrated into the package with a back-biased magnet, provides insensitivity to tilt. New ...

In addition to the Hall element, a Hall-effect current-sensor IC includes amplification to provide a usable output signal.

Hall-effect switches and instrumentation-grade sensors have become more commonplace in industrial applications, with a wide range of Hall-effect devices now packaged for designers of products and ...

Hall Effect sensors have been around for a long time. While the early bipolar versions were great at detecting magnetism, they had several drawbacks. For one, they couldn't control their response ...

How do vertical Hall sensors differ from other Hall-effect varieties? Vertical Hall sensors measure full 360° movement with a cross-shaped Hall element that produces both sinusoidal and ...

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 ...

After dealing with years of widespread reports of "stick drift" on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

Hall effect sensors are slowly taking over the world of gaming peripherals, but what are they and do they actually make a difference?

More and more keyboards and video game controllers employ Hall effect sensors, but what exactly is this technology? We break it down.
