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 ...

TDK Corp. has introduced the Micronas HAL 302x family of 2D Hall-effect position sensors for stray-field motor position sensing, delivering high angular accuracy performance in challenging mechanical ...

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 ...

Factory-programmable digital Hall-effect sensors developed by Melexis Technologies integrate EEPROM memory that enables configuration of magnetic switching thresholds (including hysteresis).

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 ...
