Hall element

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To obtain the Hall element having various uses by arrangin pairs of voltage terminals in the width direction of a sheet consisting of the Hall element while being oppositely disposed along the longitudinal direction and cascade- connecting each pair of the terminals. CONSTITUTION:A plural pair of the voltage terminals V are formed to the sheet P having a Hall effect and cascade-connected by conductors 8, and a magnetic field K is given and Hall currents iH are flowed. Consequently, Hall voltage VH is each generated in the terminals V1-V2, V3-V4. When N pairs of the terminals are shaped and cascade-connected, NxVH is obtained. When the sheet P is zigzagged, the voltage terminals can be encased into a small area. According to this constitution, large Hall voltage is acquired without increasing magnetic field intensity and the Hall currents, and the element can be used within a wide range.
