Allegro MicroSystems has announced the A31316 3D Hall-effect position sensor, the latest addition to its 3DMAG line of 3D sensors. Offered in a 4 × 4 mm body PCB-less package, this sensor is intended ...

Now, it’s been a shamefully long time since we’ve driven a car with a manual transmission, but as we recall it was pretty straightforward. It certainly didn’t require a lot of help with the shifting ...

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 ...

The CSA-1V is a single-axis integrated magnetic field sensor based on the Hall effect. It produces a linear, ratio-metric output voltage proportional to the applied magnetic field parallel with the ...

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 ...

Melexis has brought out the latest variant from its IMC-Hall current sensor – the MLX91218 Low Field (LF). The MLX91218-LF is designed for lower current applications (below 100 A). It enables smart ...

The trend in power electronics is no different than that in other electronics fields: a greater degree of integration coupled with a lower component count. Power electronics systems, however, include ...

Devices in the AH39xxQ series provide accurate speed and directional data or two independent outputs. These sensors are designed for industrial and automotive applications such as detecting rotational ...
