Working Principle of A3144 Hall Effect Sensor
Every A3144 Hall Effect Sensor is made up of a material with a magnetic field. However, the magnetic field's charges are not active. When voltages are added to the input pins of the device, these changes become active. When a beam of charged particles passes through this magnetic field, a force is applied to the particles, and the beam is reflected in its original path. This beam is a conductor that carries current.
As a result of this entire process, two planes are formed: one with a magnetic field and the other with a deflected back beam or a current-carrying conductor. As a result, one plane has a positive charge while the other has a negative charge. Hall Effect voltages are the voltages that exist between these two planes. The gap between these two planes will be stopped if the force between the current carry conductor and the magnetic field is equal. If there is no current change, the flux density is measured by the hall voltages.
Where to Use A3144 Hall Effect Sensor
A hall-effect sensor, as the name implies, works on the hall-effect principle and is used to detect magnets. One pole can be detected on each side of the sensor. Because it uses transistor logic, it can be easily interfaced with a microcontroller.
So, if you need a sensor to detect magnets to measure the speed of a moving object or simply to identify objects, this sensor could be the right fit for your project.
How to Use A3144 Hall Effect Sensor
There are two types of hall-effect Sensors: one that outputs an analog signal and the other that outputs a digital signal. The A3144 is a digital output hall sensor, which means that if it senses a magnet, the output will fall low, however, if it detects nothing, the output will stay high. A pull-up resistor, as illustrated below, is also required to maintain the output high when no magnet is detected.
