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 ...

While TMR works differently, it's a similar concept to Hall effect devices. When you move a TMR joystick, it moves a magnet ...

Hall effect sensor ICs—boasting an installed base of billions of devices—steadily evolve while serving a broad range of motor control and automation applications. And automotive applications like ...

When operating industrial machinery, precision and accuracy are vital to a productive and safe working environment. Commonly, joysticks are used to aid in the maneuvering of heavy equipment for a ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The ACS37017 from Allegro MicroSystems is a Hall-effect current sensor designed for high-voltage power conversion systems in ...
