A three-axis magnetic field sensor from Melexis operates from a 1.8-V power rail shared with other components, such as logic devices. The MLX90392 sensor provides a 1.5-μA power-down mode to maximize ...

University of Leicester engineers have unveiled a concept for a device designed to magnetically "cloak" sensitive components, ...

There are many types of magnetic field sensors on the market. A brief list would include (but not be limited to) these, with the more exotic devices first: The MEMS solutions are gaining market share ...

Magnetic sensors quietly underpin everything from smartphone compasses to the stability systems that keep electric vehicles on the road, and the race to make them smaller, faster and more sensitive is ...

Impact of stray magnetic fields on the electrification of motor vehicles. The role of inductive sensors to reduce risk, cost, and size in EMI-laden applications. The clean and efficient design of ...

Researchers used an ultrathin graphene 'sandwich' to create a tiny magnetic field sensor that can operate over a greater temperature range than previous sensors, while also detecting miniscule changes ...

We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

Tiny deviations: the new metal detector looks for minute disturbances in Earth’s magnetic field. (Courtesy: iStock/muffinmaker) A compact, low-cost and low-power metal detector that can identify the ...
