Magnetic sensors ICs are crucial components used in a wide variety of modern technologies to identify and measure magnetic fields. They convert these magnetic phenomena into measurable electrical signals. Furthermore, they work based on various physical principles, the most common being the Hall effect.
Hall Effect: When an electric current-transmitting conductor is positioned in a magnetic field, a voltage is produced perpendicular to the current and the magnetic field. This voltage is proportional to the capacity of the magnetic field.
Linear magnetic sensors provide an output signal that is linearly proportional to the capacity of the magnetic field. They are used for precise measurements of magnetic field intensity. They utilise the Hall effect to generate a voltage proportional to the magnetic field. This voltage is then intensified and processed within the IC to offer a linear output signal.
Compass magnetic sensors ICs are used to determine the direction or orientation by measuring the ground’s magnetic field. They are typically referred to as magnetometers or electronic compasses. These sensors usually use various Hall effect sensors or other magnetic sensing approaches to measure the magnetic field in three dimensions.
