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 ...

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 ...

The Apple iPhone brought the benefits of integrated multi-sensor technology to the masses, and while the application of sensors and their associated algorithms has multiplied and changed the world ...

Melexis Technologies NV introduces two new parts to its programmable digital Hall Effect sensor line. Melexis Technologies NV introduces two new parts to its programmable digital Hall Effect sensor ...

This article focuses on latches, one of the general categories of Hall-effect integrated circuits that outputs digital signal. This document include an introduction of latches or latching switches, ...

Measuring a magnetic field can be very easy with some pretty low tech, or it can be very high tech. It just depends on what kind of measurement you need and how much effort you want to expend. The ...
