Researchers have invented Hall effect magnetic field sensors that are operable at high temperatures and harmful radiation conditions. The sensors will find applications in space craft and nuclear ...

Recently, [Solder Hub] put together a brief video that demonstrates the basics of a Hall Effect sensor — in this case, one salvaged from an old CPU fan. Two LEDs, a 100 ohm resistor, and a 3.7 volt ...

When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the current is flowing and of an applied magnetic field. This physical phenomenon ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments is claiming “industry’s most accurate 3D Hall-effect position sensor” for one that provides 2.6% full-scale total error at room temperature ...

The TMAG5134 in-plane Hall-effect switch from TI offers a cost-effective alternative to magnetoresistive (MR) sensors for position sensing. An integrated magnetic concentrator enables detection of ...

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 ...

Texas Instruments announced the addition of a new family of Hall effect magnetic sensors on its motor solutions and sensing portfolio. The rugged and fully protected DRV5000 sensor products is ...
