Early in the study of electronics we are introduced to magnetism. The lines of force can be demonstrated by iron filings on a sheet of paper with a magnet underneath. In school science class, we made ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
