Product details
Overview
AH175-PG-A-B from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latch sensor designed for high-temperature rotor position and RPM sensing in brushless DC motors. It operates from 3.5V to 20V, delivers 25mA sink current, features open-collector output with 300mV saturation voltage at 10mA, and supports -40°C to +150°C ambient operation in SIP-3 package.
For engineers reviewing the AH175-PG-A-B datasheet, AH175-PG-A-B pinout, AH175-PG-A-B application, or AH175-PG-A-B equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release points (Bop/Brp), thermal derating curves for SIP-3, reverse polarity protection, and compatibility with three-phase Hall motor commutation logic.
Technical Context
The AH175 integrates a Hall voltage generator, amplifier, comparator with built-in hysteresis (30–120 Gauss), and open-collector pre-driver stage. Its internal band-gap regulator enables stable operation across 3.5–20V supply while compensating for temperature drift in magnetic thresholds.
Switching behavior is defined by bipolar latching: output pulls low when South-pole flux exceeds Bop (15–60 Gauss, A-grade), remains latched until flux reverses and falls below Brp (-60 to -15 Gauss), ensuring noise-immune edge detection in rotating-field environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5V to 20V DC - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails without external regulation |
| Output Sink Current | 25mA - drives standard logic-level inputs or small-signal MOSFET gates directly |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood motor control and industrial actuator environments |
| Magnetic Hysteresis | 30–120 Gauss - prevents chatter during slow or noisy field transitions in encoder applications |
| Output Saturation Voltage | ≤400mV at 10mA - ensures reliable low-state logic recognition with minimal power loss |
| Power Dissipation (SIP-3) | 550mW at 25°C, derates to 0mW at 150°C - defines maximum continuous drive capability in sealed enclosures |
Pinout & Package
The AH175-PG-A-B is housed in SIP-3 (Straight Lead, Bulk Pack) package with 3-pin vertical lead frame, optimized for through-hole mounting in high-vibration motor assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Positive Power Supply | Input for 3.5–20V regulated or unregulated rail; powers internal band-gap regulator and analog front-end |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for Hall sensor, amplifier, comparator, and output stage; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| OUT | Open-Collector Output | Sinks up to 25mA to GND when latched; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and voltage domain |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Built-in Power Reverse Protection | Withstands reverse supply polarity up to -20V without damage - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-connected systems |
| Temperature-Compensated Band-Gap Regulator | Maintains stable internal bias over -40°C to +150°C - ensures consistent Bop/Brp thresholds and output timing across full operating range |
| Open-Collector Pre-Driver Architecture | Enables flexible interface to 3.3V, 5V, or 12V logic domains via external pull-up - simplifies level-shifting in mixed-voltage motor controllers |
| Lead-Free & Halogen-Free Construction | Meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and IATF 16949 manufacturing requirements - suitable for automotive PPAP and industrial green compliance programs |
Applications

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 Gauss), lower VCC min (2.5V), SC59/SIP-3 options, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified | Designed for new automotive designs requiring PPAP and extended temperature validation | Select AH3724 for new designs targeting AEC-Q100 compliance and wider magnetic threshold tolerance |
| US1881 | Unipolar operation, 3.3–24V supply, 50mA sink, TO-92 package, no reverse polarity protection | Lacks latching behavior and reverse-voltage hardening - suited for simple proximity detection only | Use US1881 only where unipolar response suffices and external reverse-protection is acceptable |
Compared with AH3724 and US1881, AH175-PG-A-B offers proven thermal robustness and integrated reverse-protection in SIP-3, but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and has narrower magnetic sensitivity range - best retained for legacy industrial motor upgrades where cost and footprint match existing layouts.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH175-PG-A-B operation?
The AH175-PG-A-B is a bipolar latch: it switches ON when a South pole approaches the branded side (Bop = 15–60 Gauss), and remains latched until a North pole reduces flux below Brp (-60 to -15 Gauss). It does not respond to single-polarity fields and requires magnetic reversal for reset.
Can AH175-PG-A-B be used with a 3.3V microcontroller I/O pin?
Yes - its open-collector output allows use with 3.3V logic: connect an external 3.3V pull-up resistor to OUT, and configure the MCU pin as input with internal pull-up disabled. The 25mA sink capability ensures clean low-state signaling even with 10kΩ pull-ups.
Why is AH175 marked "NRND" and what does that mean for existing designs?
"NRND" (Not Recommended for New Designs) indicates Diodes has superseded AH175 with AH3724 for future projects due to improved specs and AEC-Q100 qualification. However, AH175-PG-A-B remains fully supported for production continuity, with no announced obsolescence date or last-time-buy constraints.
How does the SIP-3 package thermal performance compare between Ammo and Bulk variants?
Both SIP-3 (Ammo Pack) and SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) share identical thermal resistance and 550mW rated dissipation at 25°C. The only difference is lead form: Ammo uses spread leads for automated insertion, Bulk uses straight leads for manual or wave soldering - thermal derating curves are identical per datasheet Figure 4.
