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 ...

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 ...

Every week I seem to be writing about how someone has used an Arduino to fashion an interesting gadget, and today's – while not as obviously useful as, say a Pong-playing wristwatch - is still ...

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 ...

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 ...

Diodes is aiming at contactless rotary motion and proximity detection with a 3D Hall-effect magnetic field sensor. Automotive applications are envisaged, include infotainment rotary and push selectors ...
