As systems extend and expand the exploitation of the latest power semiconductors (IGBTs, MCTs, etc.) that manifest the very relentless advance in power output limits, a prerequisite (and parallel) ...

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 ...

Introduction to Allegro MicroSystems’ ACS37030 and ACS37032 current sensors. A look under the hood of the sensors. Allegro MicroSystems' latest high-bandwidth current sensors take advantage of gallium ...

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 ...

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 ...
