Hall Effect Sensor

Abstract:

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a Hall effect sensor apparatus comprising a Hall effect integrated circuit and two or more flux concentrating arms. The flux concentrating arms may be located on opposite sides of the Hall effect integrated circuit and may be attached to a circuit board, but need not be attached to the Hall effect integrated circuit. The two flux concentrating arms may extend along two different directions of an axis of the Hall effect integrated circuit. There may be gap between the flux concentrating arms and the Hall effect integrated circuit and/or the circuit board.
