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 ...

The Hall Effect provides the capability for several non-contact magnet measurements. From speed and direction to current sensing, application requirements have driven suppliers to develop products ...

Allegro MicroSystems, Inc. announced a new dual-channel, Hall-effect direction detection sensor IC, providing various digital output signals that indicate speed and direction of a target rotation. The ...

Every once in a while we stumble across something so simple yet so clever that we just have to call it out. This custom linear Hall effect sensor is a perfect example of this. By way of backstory, ...

Recently, I’ve been working on a solar off-grid monitoring system. In the system are a few split-core Hall effect sensors to monitor DC current in the solar panel current, the battery charge current, ...

Melexis has brought out a linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is available in multiple ...

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 ...

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 ...
