On-Board Magnetic Sensor: Enhancing Precision and Control in Embedded Systems
An On-Board Magnetic Sensor is a type of sensor integrated directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB) or embedded system to detect magnetic fields. These sensors play a crucial role in enabling real-time feedback, positioning, and motion control in various industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics applications. By measuring magnetic field strength and direction, on-board magnetic sensors contribute to efficient and accurate system performance.
What is an On-Board Magnetic Sensor?
On-board magnetic sensors are compact devices designed to sense magnetic fields and translate them into electrical signals that can be interpreted by microcontrollers or processors. These sensors are embedded directly within a system's hardware, providing localized sensing capabilities without the need for external connections or modules.
They commonly use principles such as:
Hall Effect
Magnetoresistance (AMR, GMR, TMR)
