Honeywell Hall-Effect Sensor

In 1968, we revolutionized the industry with the first solid-state keyboard combining Hall-effect sensing and associated electronics in a single circuit. These high-speed, extended life sensors are often directly compatible with other electronic circuits, responding to the presence or the interruption of a magnetic field by producing a proportional output.

Today, the Honeywell S&C family of magnetic position sensors includes:

• Digital and analog Hall-effect position sensor ICs (operated by permanent magnet or electromagnet)
• Magnetoresistive sensor ICs
• Hall-effect sensor ICs
• Gear-tooth sensors (sense movement of ferrous metal target)
• Magnets
