Hall effect ICs for linear position detection and current measurement applications

Infineon linear Hall effect ICs, available now from RS Components, are designed for linear position detection and current measurement applications. These sensors may include features such as a ratiometric analogue output. The sensors can be used for applications in linear and angular position sensing, battery management, electronic fuses and motor control. A range of integrated circuits from the company utilize the Hall Effect to implement non-contact switching and sensing functions. The ICs fall into three basic categories: Linear Sensors, Switches, and Latches. Hall Effect switches are also available with two-wire current level operation.
