Have you ever wondered how a magnetometer works? We sure have, which was why we were happy to stumble upon this article on simple homebrew fluxgate magnetometers. As [Maurycy] explains, clues to how a ...

Fluxgate magnetometers represent a cornerstone technology in magnetic field measurements, utilising a ferromagnetic core excited by an alternating current to gauge weak, quasi‐stationary magnetic ...

A magnetometer is a device that measures magnetism: the direction, strength, or relative change of a magnetic field at a ...

Fluxgate current sensors have emerged as a robust technology for the measurement of both alternating and direct currents, harnessing the non-linear magnetic characteristics of ferromagnetic materials.

This is the story of how the world travels of a 19th century explorer, two bar magnets and the World War II hunt for enemy submarines led to the invention of the portable fluxgate magnetometer. And ...

The DRV421 magnetic-sensing IC from Texas Instruments integrates a fluxgate sensor and compensation coil driver, along with all the required signal-conditioning circuitry, in a 4×4-mm WQFN PowerPad ...

Aim-TTi has developed a current probe which is cable of measuring currents in PCB tracks. Measurement of current normally requires either the insertion of a shunt resistor, or for the conductor to be ...

Texas Instruments (TI) today introduced the industry's first magnetic sensing integrated circuit (IC) with a fully integrated fluxgate sensor and compensation coil driver, along with all the required ...
