This paper discusses why appliance designers should consider Hall-effect sensor integrated circuits (ICs) for motor control. This document covers several key design characteristics that improve motor ...

Bipolar Hall-effect sensors are used in BLDC motors to detect the position of the rotating magnet. In this example, an eight-pole motor with a three-phase winding uses three bipolar latching ...

Fine-pitch-detection applications incorporating encoder ring-magnets require precise alignment of their location sensors. With that requirement in mind, Allegro Microsystems recently introduced the ...

Texas Instruments’ DRV5000 family of Hall-effect magnetic sensors include digital latch, digital switch, analog bipolar output options to meet demands for 2.5- to 38-V industrial applications ranging ...

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 ...

Allegro MicroSystems today announced three ICs: two analogue current sensors and a motor driver for fans. The first current sensor, ACS37630, is designed to be sat on top of a bus bar and partly ...

The Decs 50/5 controller drives brushless-dc motors without Hall sensors. Input voltage ranges from 10 to 50 Vdc with an output current of 5 A for a maximum power of 250 W on about the size of a ...
