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. The main trends in ...

A multitude of devices, vehicles, tools and equipment possess rotating elements such as motors, gears and teethed targets. In many instances, the rotational speed of these elements needs to be ...

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 ...

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 Hall effect is the production of a potential difference (namely, Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor in which an electric current flows in Because the rotating shaft (with its position ...

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 ...

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 ...
