What are Hall effect sensors?
Magnetic sensors are typically Hall effect sensors (named after Edwin Hall who discovered the effect in 1879), whereby a small voltage difference can be measured across a conductor with current flowing through it when a perpendicular magnetic field is applied. They are available as small, integrated solutions with signal or multiple outputs, and analog or […]

Understanding accelerometers
Accelerometers used to be expensive devices used in aircraft and missiles but now they are very cheap devices found everywhere – for example in your mobile phone. Their use in a mobile phone is not as critical as part of an aircraft navigation system and the accuracy and cost reflect that, with 3 axis devices […]
Temperature sensors: IoT tilts balance from traditional devices to chips
by Majeed Ahmad Temperature sensors come in a number of mechanical, electrical and solid-state electronics forms and are widely used in industrial, consumer, medical, automotive and computing segments. Take the case of an engineer who is using an analog temperature sensor—a thermistor—to monitor a fish aquarium – a mature application with a predictable temperature range. […]
