Understanding Hall Effect Sensors in Electronic Labs

Hall Effect sensors play a crucial role in detecting magnetic fields, enabling applications such as current sensing, rotational speed measurement in motors, and magnetic proximity sensing. They operate based on the Hall Effect phenomenon, where a magnetic field influences the flow of current in a semiconductor plate, leading to a potential difference. These sensors come in various types, offering digital or analog output, unipolar or bipolar sensing capabilities, and different detection directions like head-on and sideways, each serving unique purposes in electronic systems.

Presentation Transcript

1. HALL EFFECT SENSOR GT ECE ACADEMIC LABS SLIDES BY ZACHARY CHAN

2. OVERVIEW Hall Effect sensors can detect the strength of a magnetic field They can be used for current sensing and rotational speed in motors and as magnetic proximity sensing There are different types of Hall effect sensors: Digital vs Analog output Unipolar vs Bipolar sensing capabilities (whether the sensor can detect only North or only South or Both)

3. HALL EFFECT The Hall Effect occurs when a magnetic field is placed near a semiconductor plate with current flowing through it The magnetic force created by the magnetic field forces electrons towards one side of the plate, creating a potential difference between the two sides of the plate

4. HEAD ON DETECTION Head on detection involves a magnetic field moving towards or away from the face of the sensor Useful for proximity sensing

5. SIDEWAYS DETECTION Sideways detection involves a magnetic field moving parallel to the face of the sensor This type of detection is useful for detecting the rotational speed of a motor and for current sensing
