Allegro is claiming a record for its latest Hall-effect position sensor IC, describing it as “the smallest sine/cosine 3D sensor currently available in the market”. Called A33230, it comes in 3 x 2.9 ...

The AS5410 embarks as the first 3D Hall platform linear position sensor. It allows absolute position sensing of a two-pole magnet immediately after startup without the need for a reference run within ...

Six new Hall effect sensor switches have been unveiled by Diodes, all of which have been optimised to save power in position and proximity detection roles in a variety of consumer, home appliance and ...

Allegro Microsystems is advocating GMR – giant magneto-resistive – effect sensors instead of Hall effect for automotive rotary wheel position sensing. The company, which makes both Hall and GMR ...

Let's assume a motor with three Hall sensors, but what follows can be applied to whatever number of Hall sensors. The Pittman motor is equipped with three Hall sensors at 120-degrees spacing and with ...
