This application note presents some of the fundamental information about Hall-Effect sensors. It also presents the basics of magnetics, and the added value of programmable sensors and sensor interface ...

This document presents an application guide of Hall-Effect integrated circuits (ICs). It covers low-cost simplified switching, low-cost linear sensor ICs, sensitive circuits for rugged service, linear ...

The difference between Hall-effect sensors and Hall elements. Why Hall-effect sensors provide more than on and off information. How Hall-effect sensors can detect magnetic fields from an extended ...

There are plenty of PC joysticks out there, but that didn’t stop [dizekat] from building his own. Most joysticks measure position mechanically using potentiometers or encoders. Only a few high-end ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. High-voltage systems including electric vehicles, industrial robots, communications infrastructure equipment, and renewable-energy installations often ...

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 ...
