Smart Hall Sensors for the Automotive Environment

Automotive designers naturally gravitate to Hall-effect magnetic sensors because of their light weight, small size and low cost. But cars are full of components that generate stray magnetic fields which can interfere with those sensors. Learn all about new Smart Hall-effect magnetic sensors and the critical parameters you need to understand to make them effective in automotive applications including electronic power steering (EPS), pedal sensing, chassis level sensing and gearbox/gearshift detection.

What you will learn:

• Uses of Hall-effect magnetic sensors in automotive designs


• Sources of stray magnetic interference in automobiles


• Key design parameters such as speed, resolution and redundancy


• Meeting automotive quality, reliability and safety requirements
