The latest automotive designs require smart sensors to deliver the high level of precision and robustness linked with the capability of local pre-processing of the measured data. HAL 28xy devices meet ...

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 ...

The wide range of automotive applications for the device include brake and accelerator position detection, gear-shift position detection, and steering-angle detection. The increasing requirement for ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

Melexis Technologies NV introduces two new parts to its programmable digital Hall Effect sensor line. Melexis Technologies NV introduces two new parts to its programmable digital Hall Effect sensor ...

Miri is a creative writer with a passion for gaming and animation. She started gaming way back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis and has been a console gamer ever since. She's currently a ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds deceptively simple. There’s a metal plate with current flowing across it in one ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...
