A Hall effect sensor (also known as a Hall sensor or Hall probe) is any sensor incorporating one or more Hall elements, each of which produces a voltage proportional to one axial component of the magnetic field vector B using the Hall effect (named for physicist Edwin Hall).

Hall sensors are used for proximity sensing, positioning, speed detection, and current sensing applications[1] and are common in industrial and consumer applications. Hundreds of millions of Hall sensor integrated circuits (ICs) are sold each year[2] by ~50 manufacturers, with the global market around a billion dollars.[3]
