Micronas have announced the HAL 28xy series, a family of Hall-effect sensors optimized for automotive and mechatronic applications that demand accuracy and flexibility combined with low cost.
The HAL 28xy is the first Hall-effect sensor family to include a microcontroller, a temperature sensor, advanced on-chip compensation, and a digital interface.
The latest automotive designs require smart sensors to deliver the high level of precision and robustness linked with the capability of local pre-processing of the measured data.
HAL 28xy devices meet these needs with a programmable on-chip microcontroller that makes each device more adaptable and more accurate and provides diagnostics for additional reliability and ease of service.
