The newest current sensor family from Allegro MicroSystems, Inc., the ACS704, is the first SOIC8-packaged Hall-effect current sensor with the current path integrated into the package for greater ...

Allegro MicroSystems Inc. has introduced the ACS704 family of Hall-effect magnetic field sensors in SOIC8 packaging, with the current path integrated into the package for better sensitivity and ...

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) ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has unveiled a new portfolio of current sensors, targeting a broad range of common-mode voltages and temperatures. Designed to help engineers simplify their designs and improve ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

Hall effect controllers are often fairly pricey, but these new models might buck the trend. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. If ...

No bananas were harmed in the making of this Hall effect drift-proof joystick replacement. OK, not really — two bananas were turned to mush. But it’s OK, they’re just bananas, after all. Why bananas, ...

After dealing with years of widespread reports of “stick drift” on the original Switch Joy-Cons, Nintendo watchers have been hoping the Switch 2 would make use of magnetic Hall effect sensors that ...

Have you ever found yourself battling against your own controller rather than the game itself? Joystick drift is a common issue that plagues many PS5 users, causing characters to move without any ...
