Product details
Overview
APS11760LUAA-0SL from Allegro MicroSystems is a micropower vertical Hall-effect switch IC designed for automotive position sensing in harsh environments. It features unipolar south-sensing (BOP = ±40 G typ.), 6 µA average supply current at 12 V, open-drain output, and operates from –40°C to 150°C ambient temperature. It is used in gear shift selectors, door/lid open-close detection, and brake/clutch position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the APS11760LUAA-0SL datasheet, APS11760LUAA-0SL pinout, APS11760LUAA-0SL application, or APS11760LUAA-0SL equivalent, key selection criteria include its X-axis (parallel-to-package) magnetic sensitivity, AEC-Q100 qualification, ASIL A SEooC safety capability, 3-pin SIP through-hole package, and 40 V load dump tolerance.
Technical Context
The APS11760LUAA-0SL implements a chopper-stabilized vertical Hall sensor with dynamic offset cancellation and low-pass filtering, enabling stable operation up to 165°C junction temperature. Its micropower architecture cycles between 50 µs awake time and 160 ms sleep period (–xxx option), achieving 0.03% duty cycle and 6 µA average ICC at 25°C.
It integrates on-chip protection including reverse-battery clamping (–18 V), 40 V load dump compliance, output short-circuit current limiting (25 mA typ.), and ±11 kV HBM ESD immunity. The open-drain NMOS output delivers ≤500 mV saturation voltage at 5 mA and supports pull-up voltages up to 24 V.

Pinout & Package
APS11760LUAA-0SL uses the 3-pin SIP (Single In-line Package) through-hole package (suffix UA), lead-free with 100% matte tin-plated leadframes. It provides mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments and simplified manual or wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Ground reference for internal regulator and output stage; must be connected to system ground plane for EMC and thermal stability. |
| 2 | VOUT | Open-drain NMOS output; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7–10 kΩ) to define logic-high level and sink current when active. |
| 3 | VCC | Primary power input; accepts 3.3–24 V with integrated 40 V zener clamp for load dump transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Vertical Hall sensing (X-axis) | Enables detection of magnetic fields parallel to PCB surface-ideal for side-actuated levers, rotary encoders, and linear slides where magnet motion is lateral. |
| ASIL A SEooC hardware | Provides documented functional safety evidence per ISO 26262 for integration into ASIL B/C systems with external diagnostics or redundancy. |
| Micropower periodic sampling | 160 ms sleep interval reduces average power by >99.9% versus continuous operation-critical for always-on battery-powered modules. |
| Integrated reverse-battery protection | Withstands –18 V supply reversal without damage or latch-up, eliminating need for external series diode and associated voltage drop/power loss. |
| High EMC immunity | Validated performance in automotive-grade radiated and conducted emission tests-reduces need for board-level shielding or filtering components. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| APS11760LLHALT-0SL | Same sensing configuration (X-axis, unipolar south), identical electrical specs, but in 3-pin SOT23W surface-mount package (LH). | Requires rework of PCB layout for SMT assembly; not suitable for through-hole prototyping or high-vibration mechanical mounting. | Select when automated SMT production, space-constrained layouts, or thermal performance on 2-layer boards are priorities. |
| TLE4961-1M | Infineon bipolar Hall switch with 3.3–24 V supply, 3.5 mA typical ICC, and –40°C to 150°C rating-but no micropower mode or ASIL A documentation. | Lacks functional safety evidence and ultra-low-power capability; unsuitable for battery-backed or ASIL-integrated systems. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where continuous operation is acceptable and external safety analysis is performed. |
Compared with APS11760LLHALT-0SL, the APS11760LUAA-0SL offers identical sensing and electrical performance in a mechanically robust through-hole package ideal for prototyping and high-shock environments; compared with TLE4961-1M, it delivers certified ASIL A capability and 1000× lower average current-enabling new use cases in always-on safety-critical modules.

FAQ
What is the magnetic sensing orientation of the APS11760LUAA-0SL?
The APS11760LUAA-0SL features a vertical Hall-effect sensing element sensitive to magnetic flux parallel to the face of the IC package (X-axis orientation). This enables detection of lateral magnet motion-ideal for applications like gear shift levers, rotary actuators, and linear slide position sensing where the magnet moves perpendicular to the PCB plane.
Does the APS11760LUAA-0SL require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes, the APS11760LUAA-0SL has an open-drain NMOS output and requires an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level. A 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ resistor to a 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V rail is typical. The device's output saturation voltage remains ≤500 mV at 5 mA, ensuring clean low-state signaling even with higher pull-up values.
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the APS11760LUAA-0SL?
The APS11760LUAA-0SL is rated for a maximum junction temperature of 165°C. Its specified ambient operating range is –40°C to +150°C, and thermal resistance (RθJA) is 165°C/W for the 3-pin SIP (UA) package on a 1-layer PCB-enabling reliable operation in under-hood, transmission, and exhaust proximity applications without forced cooling.
Is the APS11760LUAA-0SL qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the APS11760LUAA-0SL is AEC-Q100 qualified for Grade 0 (–40°C to +150°C) and developed as a hardware Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) with ASIL A capability per ISO 26262. It includes on-chip diagnostics, fault-tolerant design, and comprehensive safety documentation to support integration into automotive safety-related systems.
What protection features does the APS11760LUAA-0SL include?
The APS11760LUAA-0SL integrates multiple protection features: 40 V load dump clamping on VCC, –18 V reverse-battery protection, output short-circuit current limiting (25 mA typ.), ±11 kV HBM ESD immunity, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO) with 2.25 V enable threshold. These eliminate the need for most external protection components in automotive 12 V/24 V systems.
