Hall-effect sensor based circuit design

Hall-effect sensor based circuit design

Hall-effect sensor based circuit design

(OP)

Good afternoon,

Does anybody know a tool or a software to design a hall-effect sensor (A132X family from Allegro MicroSystems) based circuit in order to measure magnetic flux leakage?

Thank you,
Issam

RE: Hall-effect sensor based circuit design

i recently used this or similar hall sensor... I just used the circuit shown as example in their data sheet. What is wrong with that? Why do you feel you need some tool or software product to make a hall sensor work when the data sheet shows how to hook it up and use it?

OK, but how to simulate the circuit and see the different outputs?

Exactly, I am looking for a FEA program that could easily be obtained.
So any suggestions?
Thank you.

RE: Hall-effect sensor based circuit design

What you are asking for per your OP does not exist. There are no commercial programs that mate FEA with circuit design.

> What "design" do you think there is to do?


Why not just buy a magnetometer and try it, or even just use your smartphone?

Of course I can. I can do anything. I can do absolutely anything. I'm an expert!

First, Some of that series is now obsolete.

Second, that device has THREE pins: +5Vdc, common, and output.

Third, voltage output is proportional to the applied magnetic field. The A132X family has a quiescent output voltage that is 50% of the supply voltage and output sensitivity options of 2.5 mV/G, 3.125 mV/G, and 5m V/G.

So Fourth, measure the output voltage and you have measured the magnetic flux.

Exactly WHAT do you need to design?? I don't see how a hall could be more plug and play and require ZERO design?
