3D Hall Sensor Targets Automotive Applications
Motion control systems in vehicles require sensing that Hall sensors frequently provide. In some instances, sensing all three directions can improve and simplify the systems design. For these applications, austriamicrosystems introduced the AS5410 linear position sensor based on a 3D Hall platform. The sensor measures absolute position in automotive & industrial applications and provides a […]
Three-dimensional Hall Encoders for Industrial Apps
Austriamicrosystems is developing a portfolio of 3D Hall products for automotive and industrial applications. The 3D HallinOne magnetic encoder family provides absolute and highest resolution angular or linear output data. The AS540x series uses two “pixel-cells” in a differential mode to guarantee robustness against all possible external influences like stray magnetic fields. In addition, the […]
Throttle Position Sensing Using Hall Effect Devices
A total of four Hall Effect sensors are used in Micronas’ throttle position demo as explained at Convergence 2010 by Jochen Seidler. The sensor could be a programmable sensor with a ratiomatic, linear output such as one from Micronas HAL 82x family. For more information on Micronas HAL 82x Hall Effect sensors, click here. To […]
