The latest automotive designs require smart sensors to deliver the high level of precision and robustness linked with the capability of local pre-processing of the measured data. HAL 28xy devices meet ...

Optimized for automotive and mechatronic applications, the HAL 28xy series of Hall-effect sensors from Micronas include a microcontroller, a temperature sensor, on-chip compensation, and a digital ...

Additions to the varioHAL family of Hall-effect sensors with digital interfaces include the HAL 2830 and HAL 2850, both of which integrate a microcontroller, temperature sensor, on-chip compensation, ...

The wide range of automotive applications for the device include brake and accelerator position detection, gear-shift position detection, and steering-angle detection. The increasing requirement for ...

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 ...

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 ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...
