Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

As system performance demands escalate in industrial and automotive systems, Hall-effect sensors will continue to see widespread use. This article explores misconceptions regarding these sensors and ...

Competitive gaming equipment, such as controllers and keyboards, have recently seen some major changes to their design that make them more efficient and reliable than ever before. One of the most ...

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 ...

The A1301 and A1302 ratiometric, linear Hall-effect sensors in a SOT23 package are rated for operation to 150 degrees.

Optimized for automotive and mechatronic applications, the HAL 28xy series of Hall-effect sensors from Micronas include a microcontroller, a temperature sensor, on-chip compensation, and a digital ...
