We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

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 ...

A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables ...

This sensor device is built to measure the amount of current being used, especially in power supplies as the design is based on Arduino. The main component used is the ACS712 sensor from Allegro ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Allegro Microsystems has introduced isolated differential current sensor ICs based on the Hall effect. Accuracy is typically +/-1% from 25 to 125°C, and +/-3% from -40 to +25°C. Both the ACS724KMA ...

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 two sensor choices, reed and Hall-effect switches. They have many similarities but also significant differences, explains Martin Reizner. Demand for reed switches has risen significantly in ...

Whether you're a motor designer/builder or buyer/user, understanding how the efficiency of brushless DC motors is improved with the use of Hall-effect sensors is important to your building and/or ...

With the rise of affordable 3D printers, we just don’t see the projects in Tic Tac boxes that we used to. That’s kind of a shame. Not only are you upcycling existing plastic when you use one, they’re ...
