Abstract
This chapter discusses the designing of a Hall-effect transducer and the various types of transducers. The key characteristics of a Hall-effect transducer include: sensitivity, temperature coefficient of sensitivity, Ohmic offset, temperature coefficient of Ohmic offset, linearity, input and output resistance, temperature coefficient of resistance, and electrical output noise. Geometry plays an important role in the construction of a Hall-effect transducer. The specific geometry used, which device fabrication, however, can have a large impact on its performance and consequent suitability as a component. The main factors that can be optimized by the transducer geometry are: sensitivity, offset, and power consumption. One of the various types of transducers includes the bulk-type transducer. It is a slab of semiconductor material with connections to provide bias and sense leads to the device. The transducer is cut and ground to the desired size and shape and the wires are attached by soldering or welding. Advantages of the bulk-type devices are that: one has a variety of choices for selecting materials and the large sizes of bulk transducers result in lower impedance and noise levels.
