Hall Effect Sensing and Application (1998) [pdf]
- shawndumas 11y ago"The Hall effect has been known for over one hundred years, but has only been put to noticeable use in the last three decades. The first practical application (outside of laboratory experiments) was in the 1950s as a microwave power sensor. With the mass production of semiconductors, it became feasible to use the Hall effect in high volume products. MICRO SWITCH Sensing and Control revolutionized the keyboard industry in 1968 by introducing the first solid state keyboard using the Hall effect. For the first time, a Hall effect sensing element and its associated electronics were combined in a single integrated circuit. Today, Hall effect devices are included in many products, ranging from computers to sewing machines, automobiles to aircraft, and machine tools to medical equipment."

- jacobolus 11y agoThis is a great resource, recommended for anyone trying to build little electronic gizmos. I’ve found it super helpful in trying to use various hall effect sensors. It also has nice sections on basics about magnets, etc. It’s been around since at least 1998. 2003 version from the internet archive: http://web.archive.org/web/20031005162109/http://content.honeywell.com/sensing/prodinfo/solidstate/technical/hallbook.pdf http://web.archive.org/web/20031005162109/http://content.hon... In the PDF metadata on that file, Creation Date: Oct 14, 1998, 6:29 AM Too bad there’s no date written anywhere in the text; I’d still recommend adding a [1998] to this discussion topic though.
