Flow Meter
One popular device that uses a Hall IC is a flow meter (Figure 15). The spoked wheel (paddle wheel), is
driven by some type of medium flowing through the pipe. A magnet is attached at the tip of each spoke.
In the presence of moving vapor or liquid, the magnets spin at a speed related to the viscosity of the medi-
um flowing through the device. The spinning magnets will switch the Hall IC, producing a square wave
output, with a frequency proportional to the flow rate.

Liquid or vapor entering in the
direction of the arrow spins the
paddle wheel switching the Hall
IC “ON” and “OFF”, creating a
square wave output

Power Control
Many switches must control significant power. A Hall IC can do this only through a relay or Power FET.
For a component cost of $1.00, an isolated 50 Volt, 50 Amp switch can be made.
