One of the common causes of damage to the Allegro Hall- effect devices that are magnetically back-biased is from the various leadforming operations performed to prepare the device for final assembly.

This paper introduces Hall-effect technology and then explores how it has been applied, in particular, differentiating between the primary types of Hall sensor ICs, and the highly differentiated range ...

We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

Hall-effect sensor technology has advanced and now offers accuracy, consistency, reliability and new feature sets at reasonable cost. The sensors are used in high-volume automotive applications where ...

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 ...

The technique is called high-side current sensing. However, measurements at that location are fraught with problems. Of primary concern is that the measurement is at main line voltage, a problem if ...

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Diodes Incorporated (Diodes) (Nasdaq: DIOD) announces the addition of two enhanced high-voltage, Hall effect switch IC families to its automotive-compliant* product ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

The quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional electron systems is normally considered a very robust phenomenon. The circulating currents of the Hall effect evolve into quantum mechanical edge states that ...
