2 diodes change Demagnetization-signal polarity -  04/12/01 EDN-Design Ideas Power-supply designers usually like flyback converters to operate in DCM  (discontinuous-conduction mode) rather than in CCM  (continuous-conduction mode).  In DCM, the flyback converter is a first-order system at low frequencies, which eases the feedback-loop compensation.  You can use a low-cost secondary rectifier, thanks to soft blocking conditions__ Circuit Design by Christophe Basso, On Semiconductor, Toulouse, Cedex, France

Build an Inexpensive Hall Effect Gaussmeter -  Have you ever wanted to find out how strong a magnet really was, or how the strength of the magnetic field varied as you changed the distance from the magnet or the temperature of the magnet, or how well a shield placed in front of the magnet worked?  Voltmeters are fairly inexpensive and easy to find, but where do you purchase a Gaussmeter   (also known as a magnetometer).   I built a hand-held Gaussmeter for measuring the polarity and strength of a magnetic field.   It uses a linear Hall effect device and some op-amps and resistors and things from Radio Shack.   __ Designed by Rick Hoadley

Current Monitor Uses Hall Sensor -  EDN-Design Ideas -- 01/05/12    Use a Hall-effect sensor to measure dc current in the range of 0 to 40A.   (Originally published in the March 31, 1987, EDN-Design Ideas)    The Fig 1 circuit uses a Hall-effect sensor, consisting of an IC that resIdeas in a small gap in a flux-collector toroid, to measure dc current in the range of 0 to 40A.  You wrap the current-carrying wire through the toroid; the Hall voltage VH is then linearly proportional to the current (I).  The current drain from VB is less than 30 mA.__ Circuit Design by Paul Galluzzi, Dynamics Research Corp, Wilmington, MA

Geomagnetic field Detector -  Where there is heat, let us bring cooling: a fan will do the job, but unfortunately fans are usually noisy.  In many cases there is no need for the fan to run continuously at full speed, and so it makes sense to control the fan speed in response to the temperature of the heatsink or device being cooled, switching the fan off entirely if it should fall to room temperature __

GMR Sensors Manage Batteries -  09/02/99 EDN-Design Ideas The past few decades have seen remarkable progress in magnetic-sensor technology.  Early and current sensors exploit the Hall effect; more recent devices use an effect called giant magnetoresistance(GMR].  GMR sensors use semiconductor processing of materi__ Circuit Design by D Ramirez and J Pelegri, University of Valencia, Spain

Hall Effect Gaussmeter -  Have you ever wanted to find out how strong a magnet really was, or how the strength of the magnetic field varied as you changed the distance from the magnet or the temperature of the magnet, or how well a shield placed in front of the magnet worked?  Voltmeters are fairly inexpensive and easy to find, but where do you purchase a Gaussmeter   (also known as a magnetometer).   I built a hand-held Gaussmeter for measuring the polarity and strength of a magnetic field.   It uses a linear Hall effect device and some op-amps and resistors and things from Radio Shack.   __ Designed by Rick Hoadley

High-Isolation converters use off the shelf magnetICs -  07/22/99 EDN-Design Ideas Isolated flyback converters usually evoke thoughts-or bitter memories-of custom transformers, slipped delivery schedules, and agency-approval problems.  Off-the-shelf flyback transformers carry isolation ratings of only 300 to 500V and rarely of as much as 1 kV.  Gate-drive transformers are readily available from stock with high isolation ratings and low cost, but they are wound __ Circuit Design by Mitchell Lee, Linear Technology Corp, Milpitas, CA

Home-Built Magnetic Levitator -  With this assembly, I was able to suspend a magnet about 1" below an electromagnet.   Here are the details on the circuit design.  This project requires you to have some familiarity with building and testing electronic circuits.   A great way to start is to obtain an "Engineer's Mini-Notebook" book from Radio Shack, by Forrest M.  Mims III, on building circuits.   He has a lot of different booklets out for all sorts of projects.   They go into a fair amount of detail so you'll start to learn how the circuits work, how to put things together, etc. __ Designed by Rick Hoadley

Inductive sensing with left-handed antenna for biomedical applications -  05/15/14 EDN-Design Ideas Could an inductive sensor help assay biological and other substances? A left-handed (LH) antenna based biosensor is developed to investigate the near-field electromagnetic interaction between antenna and sample with different dielectric properties.  These dielectric properties can be determined by analyzing the electromagnetic coupling between the antenna and the test samples without labeling or chemical reaction.  It has the advantages of real-time detection, small feature size, reduced sample volume, and minor environmental disturbance.  Such an antenna sensor can be effectively used to measure both liquid and solid biological samples.  __ Circuit Design by Chii-Wann Lin

Inductively sense aircraft engine valve position -  04/25/14 EDN-Design Ideas Aircraft engine designers are conservative by nature, but here's a way to improve performance anyway.  This design uses an inductor to sense the position of a valve on an aircraft engine as a way to get camshaft position information.  Knowing the camshaft position along with the crankshaft position allows fuel injection while the intake valve is open and the use of individual coils for each cylinder.  __ Circuit Design by Angus McCamant

Inductively sense workpieces of any material -  05/16/14 EDN-Design Ideas Create an inductive switch using the LDC1000 to replace mechanical switches in dirty environments.  The problem originally undertaken was to sense the presence and position of nonmetallic objects in a gritty environment – such as a paper mill or woodworking operation – that requires accurate workpiece sensing for certain cutting and routing operations.  Microswitches are fragile and clog easily.  __ Circuit Design by Fred Rupinski

Method offers fail-safe variable-reluctance sensors -  11/22/01 EDN-Design Ideas Variable-reluctance sensors are preferred for industrial and automotive environments, because they sustain mechanical vibration and operation to 300°C.  In most applications, they sense a steel target that is part of a rotating assembly.  Because the unprocessed signal amplitude is proportional to target speed, a sensor whose signal-processing circuitry is designed for high speed cease__ Circuit Design by Phil Levya, Maxim Integrated Products, Sunnyvale, CA
