Abstract
An electronic circuit is described that allows the use of an inexpensi ve Hall probe as a high-performance magnetic-field sensor. The circuit contains a high-precision voltage reference, a proportional control t hermostat, a 16 bit serial analog-to-digital converter, and a digital control subsystem integrated into a single programmable logic device. The precision of the probe is of about 4 mu T. (C) 1997 American Insti tute of Physics.
