Latching Switch Hall-Effect IC Basics

There are four general categories of Hall-effect IC devices that provide a digital output: unipolar switches, bipolar switches, omnipolar switches, and latches. Latching Hall-effect sensor ICs, often referred to as "latches," are digital output Hall-effect switches that latch output states.

Ring Magnet Speed Sensing for Electronic Power Steering

Proper control of Electric Power Steering (EPS) systems requires both speed and direction information from the steering input shaft. This control will typically come from both high-resolution speed information and fairly coarse position information.
