Answers to Common Questions about TMR Magnetic Sensors
August 3, 2021
Due to their low power consumption, high sensitivity, small size and ready availability, RedRock® Magnetic Sensors are popular alternatives to existing Hall Effect Sensors and Reed Switches. Common design questions about RedRock® TMR Magnetic Sensors are addressed by a Coto Technology TMR Application Engineer.
Topics include:
- Is a decoupling capacitor required? If so, what is the optimal value?
- Where is the optimum location to position the decoupling capacitor for proper sensor operation?
- What are the effects of external resistors on the output pins relative to overall current consumption?
- What are the effects of external resistors on the input pins relative to initial sensor startup?
- What should I know when using multiple sensors?

Difference between Precision Wirewound and Foil Resistors
February 7, 2023
Introduction Precision wirewound resistors are used in a wide range of applications. They are used as voltage dividers, current sense resistors, timing circuits etc. In high power supplies, precision wirewounds are commonly used for voltage regulation. Foil type resistors have many advantages over the precision wirewound types but there are some applications where their performance…
Introduction to Spring Loaded Pogo Pins & Connectors
September 1, 2023
Spring-loaded pogo pin connectors, or simply pogo pins, are a type of electrical connector mechanism that features greater durability over other electrical contacts and a higher resilience against mechanical shock and vibrations. In comparison to traditional connectors, pogo pins offer enhanced robustness and reliability. Due to these advantages, pogo pins have become a mainstay…
