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

The MLX92231 targets applications requiring Hall effect switch magnetic characteristics. Constructed on a proprietary mixed signal CMOS process technology, the MLX92231 integrate a Hall sensor element ...

The A139x family, released by Allegro since 2005, is a Hall-effect sensor IC family that has only 10 mW power consumption in the active mode with tri-state output and user-selectable sleep mode. A ...

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 ...

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 ...

After dealing with years of widespread reports of “stick drift” on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

Hall effect sensors are everywhere right now. Keyboards, game controllers, and DIY kits use them for more precise inputs. But with any newly popular device, it can be easy to immediately jump onto the ...

They're bigger and sturdier, but still not Hall Effect. Nintendo Switch 2, at least for now, will not incorporate one of the most-requested features users have wanted for years. If you're not already ...
