1 Abstract

This application note discusses how two one-dimensional linear Hall-effect sensors can be used to measure 2D angles, including both limited-angle and 360° rotation measurements. This document provides details on some calibrated and uncalibrated implementations to help meet angle measurement accuracy requirements. This report also covers the number of sensors needed, and the preferred magnet types for each method. For details on how one 3D linear Hall-effect sensor can be used to measure 2D angles, see the Angle Measurement With Multi-Axis Linear Hall-Effect Sensors application report.
