ZF Switches & Sensors is now offering a complete range of angular position sensors based on Hall Effect technology which responds to magnetic fields generated by a (rare-earth) magnet. The sensors ...

The presence of semiconductors in automobiles is increasing geometrically, in part due to automotive systems developers' desire for electronic motor control to address consumer requirements for safer, ...

TDK Corp. recently announced the availability of a new programming tool — the Magnetic Sensor Programmer (MSP) V1.0 — for its existing line of Hall-effect sensors. The MSP V1.0 is the optimal tool for ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

Two new types of integrated Hall sensors from Sentron AG, Zug, Switzerland, respond to a magnetic field parallel to the chip surface, unlike conventional Hall sensors, which only measure the field ...

Sensata Technologies has launched ACW4 Single Turn and TCW4 Multi Turn Absolute Hall Effect Sensors, which feature an over-molded, two-part modular construction that provides engineers with much ...

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 ...

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 ...

Insight on Diodes Inc.’s first automotive-compliant 3D linear Hall-effect sensor. How it allows for reliable and high-precision contactless rotary motion and proximity detection. Application targets ...
