This application note presents some of the fundamental information about Hall-Effect sensors. It also presents the basics of magnetics, and the added value of programmable sensors and sensor interface ...

A team of researchers have developed the world's thinnest and lightest magnetic sensor matrix sheet system that visualizes the two-dimensional distribution of magnetism on various surfaces, with a ...

Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles on the road, and the race to make them smaller, faster and more sensitive is ...

Sensors help microprocessor-based systems find their bearings. Where would embedded systems be without them? Sensors provide the windows through which microprocessor-based systems can observe their ...

The types of magnetic sensors that are currently available. How the magnetic sensors work. Applications for the different magnetic sensors. Position sensors enable a variety of functions and controls ...

Pigeons may sense Earth’s magnetic field using their inner ear, sending signals to brain areas that help with navigation and ...

One of the primary ways that gyroscopic motion can be applied is in the monitoring and/or maintaining of the orientation of an object. A broad array of engineering applications are based on gyroscopic ...

Magnetic sensors detect moving ferrous metal. The simplest magnetic sensor consists of a wire coiled around a permanent magnet. A ferrous object approaching the sensor changes magnetic flux through ...

If you read about Hall effect sensors — the usual way to detect and measure magnetic fields these days — it sounds ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. In the seemingly endless quest for higher motor performance and improved system cost efficiencies, motor manufacturers ...
