The A139x family, released by Allegro since 2005, is a Hall-effect sensor IC family that has only 10 mW power consumption in the active mode with tri-state output and user-selectable sleep mode. A ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...

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 ...

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 ...

Hall effect sensors are everywhere right now. Keyboards, game controllers, and DIY kits use them for more precise inputs. But with any newly popular device, it can be easy to immediately jump onto the ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

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 ...

Graphene-based Hall sensors represent a significant advancement in magnetic field measurement by harnessing the exceptional electrical and mechanical properties of graphene. Owing to its atomically ...

Motor control circuits in appliances including refrigerators, washing machines and air conditioners, need to operate more efficiently, reliably and safely while meeting cost requirements. With energy ...
