Melexis unveils the MLX90296, a new micropower linear Hall-effect sensor that draws less than 5 µA at 100 Hz and integrates digital filters for enhanced performance. Its flexible architecture is ...

It's all about the relative failure rate. My understanding is that drift can and does happen on pretty much any non-Hall joystick, but that the Switch Joy-Cons were ...

Here, we introduce analog pointing devices (hereinafter called APDs) that use Hall sensors, to enable free movement of the cursor on screens for portable device, etc. There has been a growing demand ...

This Reference Design describes the design of a 3-phase BLDC (Brushless DC) motor drive, which supports Freescale's 56F801X Digital Signal Controllers, dedicated motor control devices. The ...

Controllers with Hall effect technology have been gaining ground in recent years, and for good reason. They offer greater precision and customization options than first-party gamepads, and the nature ...

Keyboard enthusiasts looking to pick up their next high-end board now have a choice to make: magnetic or mechanical? It's true that Hall effect keyboards, which use magnets and sensors rather than ...

A NIMS research team has developed a new experimental method capable of rapidly evaluating numerous material compositions by ...

Have you ever found yourself battling against your own controller rather than the game itself? Joystick drift is a common issue that plagues many PS5 users, causing characters to move without any ...

Members can download this article in PDF format. High-voltage systems including electric vehicles, industrial robots, communications infrastructure equipment, and renewable-energy installations often ...

Sensing current, especially in higher-voltage settings, is often a challenge. It’s generally more difficult than voltage sensing, as it is usually “invasive” and requires “breaking” into the ...

Electrical angle alignment of brushless dc (BLDC) motors is the process of determining how to apply electric current to the motor. In essence, it is determining where the magnets are with respect to ...

I’m admittedly not huge Switch fan, but my kids are - we have 1 original and 2 lites in our household. But as more details arise, the Switch 2 is less and less compelling. Let’s call it $500 (trariff ...
