Since the revolution in solid state electronics, many innovative principles were investigated for a better and simpler design. Thus, Hall effect-based sensors and instruments gained importance. To employ this principle in several operating conditions and with different setups, several researchers contributed significantly over the decades, which ultimately led to the establishment of industries producing a wide range of Hall devices. The objective of this paper is to review the available configurations and current status of the Hall effect-based technologies. A detailed discussion is carried out on the various types of existing Hall-based devices, such as linear sensors, field-programmable sensors, switches, latches, speed and directional sensors, and vane sensors. The effect of materials and the influence of several undesired effects (such as offset voltage, temperature, noise, and drift) are also investigated. The compensation/reduction techniques are mentioned therein, and interested researchers are encouraged for the development of new techniques. This paper concludes with the discussion on the market scenario (such as electronics sector and automotive industry) and progression in current research on Hall devices while projecting some new research directions in this field.
