Product details
Overview
AH175-PG-A-A from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latch sensor designed for high-temperature rotor position and RPM sensing in 3-phase BLDC motor control systems. It operates from 3.5V to 20V, delivers 25mA sink current, features open-collector pre-driver output, and supports -40°C to +150°C ambient operation with built-in reverse-polarity protection.
For engineers reviewing the AH175-PG-A-A datasheet, AH175-PG-A-A pinout, AH175-PG-A-A application, or AH175-PG-A-A equivalent, this page provides verified magnetic switching thresholds (Bop: 15–60 G, Brp: –60 to –15 G), thermal derating curves, SIP-3 package mechanical dimensions, and direct substitution guidance versus AH3724.
Technical Context
The AH175 integrates a Hall voltage generator, amplifier, comparator with hysteresis (30–120 G), and open-collector pre-driver - all powered by an internal band-gap regulator enabling stable operation across its 3.5–20V supply range. Its bipolar latching behavior requires magnetic polarity reversal to toggle state.
It exhibits Bop/Brp asymmetry optimized for robust commutation timing in motor feedback loops, with saturation voltage ≤400 mV at 10 mA sink and supply current ≤6 mA in quiescent mode. Thermal performance is defined per package: SIP-3 (550 mW @ 25°C) and SC59 (230 mW @ 25°C), with linear derating to zero at +150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5 V to 20 V DC - enables direct connection to automotive battery rails without external regulation |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood and powertrain-mounted motor sensing |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA - drives standard optocouplers or logic-level MOSFET gates directly |
| Magnetic Hysteresis | 30–120 Gauss - prevents chatter during slow or noisy field transitions in rotating machinery |
| Output Type | Open-collector pre-driver - allows flexible pull-up configuration and interface with 3.3V/5V/12V logic domains |
| Power Dissipation (SIP-3) | 550 mW at 25°C, derated linearly to 0 mW at 150°C - defines maximum continuous duty in sealed enclosures |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Built-in - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-connected applications |
Pinout & Package
The AH175-PG-A-A is supplied in SIP-3 (Ammo Pack) package - a 3-pin single-inline package with gull-wing leads, 14.0–15.0 mm body length, and branded surface marking "175".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Positive power supply input | Accepts 3.5–20 V DC; powers internal regulator and sensing circuitry |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply and output current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| OUT | Open-collector digital output | Sinks up to 25 mA when active; requires external pull-up for logic-high level definition |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latching operation | Requires South-pole activation (Bop ≥15 G) and North-pole release (Brp ≤−15 G) - ensures deterministic state retention in rotating fields |
| Wide supply range with internal regulation | 3.5–20 V operation via on-chip band-gap regulator - eliminates external LDO in 12 V automotive systems |
| High-temperature reliability | Specified performance from −40°C to +150°C ambient - validated for engine compartment and inverter-integrated motor feedback |
| Integrated reverse-voltage protection | No external diode required for battery-reversal scenarios - reduces BOM count and PCB area in cost-sensitive designs |
| RoHS-3 and halogen-free compliance | Meets EU Directive 2015/863/EU; <900 ppm Br, <900 ppm Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - satisfies Tier-1 automotive material declarations |
Applications
| Motor Commutation Sensing | Rotor Position Feedback |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AH3724 | Higher sensitivity (Bop: 5–35 G), lower VCC min (2.5 V), SC59-only packaging | Better suited for low-field, low-voltage portable or battery-powered systems | Select AH3724 for new designs requiring wider magnetic dynamic range or smaller footprint |
| US1881 | Unipolar operation, no hysteresis spec, 20 mA sink, same SIP-3/SC59 options | Limited to simple proximity detection; not suitable for motor commutation requiring polarity reversal | Use only where unidirectional field detection suffices and latch memory is unnecessary |
Compared with AH3724 and US1881, AH175-PG-A-A offers superior thermal stability and bipolar latching essential for motor timing, but lacks the low-voltage flexibility of AH3724 and the simplicity of US1881's unipolar response.

FAQ
Is AH175-PG-A-A pin-compatible with AH3724?
No - AH175-PG-A-A uses SIP-3 packaging with 1–2–3 pinout (Vcc–GND–OUT), while AH3724 is SC59-only with 1–2–3 pinout (Vcc–OUT–GND). Physical layout and pin assignment differ; board redesign is required for substitution.
What does "NRND" mean for AH175-PG-A-A?
"NRND" (Not Recommended for New Designs) indicates Diodes has superseded AH175 with AH3724 for future projects. However, AH175-PG-A-A remains fully manufactured and supported for existing production, with no announced obsolescence date or last-time-buy constraints.
Can AH175-PG-A-A operate at 24 V supply?
No - absolute maximum VCC is 20 V. Exceeding this risks permanent damage. For 24 V systems, use an external 20 V clamp or step-down regulator; the internal band-gap regulator does not support overvoltage tolerance.
Does AH175-PG-A-A require an external pull-up resistor on OUT?
Yes - the open-collector output requires an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level. Typical values range from 2.2 kΩ (for 12 V systems with fast rise time) to 10 kΩ (for low-power 3.3 V interfaces); value depends on load capacitance and switching speed requirements.
