When using linear Hall effect sensors to measure angles, a bipolar sensor is generally most practical to use, although unipolar sensors can still be used for limited-angle measurements. Bipolar sensors respond to both the north and south poles of a magnet, and allow for wider-angle measurements. Unipolar sensors respond to one pole of the magnet allowing for only half of the movement range. The following subsections list some of the linear Hall effect devices from TI.
