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 ...

If you've spent time shopping for a new controller in the past few years, you've heard of the Hall effect, but what is it, ...

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 ...

Diodes Incorporated has launched its first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. The AH4930Q detects the magnetic field in the X, Y, and Z directions, enabling high-precision contactless ...

Miri is a creative writer with a passion for gaming and animation. She started gaming way back in 1994 on the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis and has been a console gamer ever since. She's currently a ...

MLX90296 Micropower Linear Hall sensors from Melexis. These Linear Hall sensors are designed for ultra‑low‑power magnetic sensing in portable, battery‑operated, and power‑constrained applications.

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...

Introduction to Allegro MicroSystems’ ACS37030 and ACS37032 current sensors. A look under the hood of the sensors. Allegro MicroSystems' latest high-bandwidth current sensors take advantage of gallium ...

Competitive gamers look for every advantage they can get, and that drive has spawned some of the zaniest gaming peripherals under the sun. There are plenty of hardware components that actually offer ...
