Allegro Microsystems is advocating GMR – giant magneto-resistive – effect sensors instead of Hall effect for automotive rotary wheel position sensing. The company, which makes both Hall and GMR sensors, argues that GMR has lower noise and therefore reduces angular jitter when measuring the position of rotating shafts. “GMR is fundamentally a lower-noise magnetic sensing ...
