The DRV5053 is an analog bipolar Hall Effect sensor with a wide voltage range from 2.5 V to 38 V. This chopper-stabilized Hall IC provides a magnetic sensing solution with superior sensitivity ...

This technical document discusses a simple method of converting a PWM output signal into an analog output signal employing a Hall effect sensor or PWM sensor. This article covers the behavior of PWM ...

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 ...

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 ...

High-Performance Hall Sensor Capability Proven to Enable Cost-Effective SoCs ERFURT, Germany -- June 10, 2009 – X-FAB Silicon Foundries, the leading analog/mixed-signal foundry and expert in “More ...

Figure 1a shows a slotted optical switch. An LED is mounted in a plastic housing, facing a phototransistor, but separated by a gap. If something moves into the gap, it blocks the light path between ...

The Hall Effect provides the capability for several non-contact magnet measurements. From speed and direction to current sensing, application requirements have driven suppliers to develop products ...

An example is the sensing of a rotary cam position. The oblong shape of the cam dictates use of a sensor able to detect different shapes and sizes. A simple prox sensor merely detects the presence or ...
