New applications for linear output Hall-effect devices such as displacement, angular position and current measurement require high accuracy in conjunction with small package size. The A1324, A1325, ...

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 ...

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 ...

The expanding use and importance of image sensors in safety-critical applications such as automotive and medical devices has transformed noise from an annoyance into a life-threatening problem that ...

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 ...

While most sensors that surround us and make modern technology possible are well-known and understood, magnetic sensors used in magnetometers are often overlooked or misunderstood, even though they’re ...
