The Hall-Effect sensor has a core, Hall-Effect device and signal conditioning circuitry. The current conductor passes through a magnetically permeable core that concentrates the conductor’s magnetic ...

A new generation of small Hall-effect-based current sensors simplify the task. Hall-effect devices measure current via the intensity of the magnetic field generated by the current flow.

Hall effect sensors are slowly taking over the world of gaming peripherals, but what are they and do they actually make a difference?

Micronas, with its linear Hall-effect sensor units, has done unique and pioneering work in advancing this ability in an innovative way, with great commercial success.

Hall effect sensors offer a more durable and reliable alternative to potentiometers. These sensors work by detecting changes in magnetic fields to determine the joystick’s position.

Even with Hall Effect sensors, I found that sometimes small movements would not be picked up by the controller —sometimes to catastrophic in-game results.
