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 ...

A Hall-effect sensor is a transducer that converts a magnetic field directly into a usable electrical voltage. It enables engineers to perform non-contact measurement of shaft rotation, detect the ...

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 ...

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 ...

When an electric current passes through some materials, it generates a voltage perpendicular to the direction in which the current is flowing and of an applied magnetic field. This physical phenomenon ...

When mounted inside the traction inverter, TI’s TMCS2100-Q1 multi-axial coreless Hall-effect current sensor enables more efficient, longer-range, and more enjoyable driving experiences for HEVs and ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by measuring anomalous Hall resistivity 30 times faster than conventional ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. Traction inverters lie at the heart of today’s hybrid and electric (HEV/EV) vehicles. They had a humble beginning in the 1960s, though, when the shift ...
