Product details
Overview
AH175-PG-B-A from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latch sensor designed for high-temperature rotor position sensing and RPM detection in automotive and industrial motor control systems. 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 (Bulk Pack) package.
For engineers reviewing the AH175-PG-B-A datasheet, AH175-PG-B-A pinout, AH175-PG-B-A application, or AH175-PG-B-A equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release points (Bop/Brp), thermal derating curves, open-collector drive capability, reverse-polarity protection, and AEC-Q100 suitability for under-hood motor feedback systems.
Technical Context
The AH175 integrates a Hall voltage generator, amplifier, comparator with built-in hysteresis (30–120 Gauss), and open-collector pre-driver stage - enabling robust digital switching in noisy environments. Its internal band-gap regulator ensures stable internal biasing across supply (3.5–20V) and temperature (-40°C to +150°C).
Magnetic response is polarity-sensitive: South pole exposure above Bop (15–60 Gauss, A-grade) pulls OUT low; output remains latched until field reversal drops below Brp (-60 to -15 Gauss). Saturation voltage remains ≤400mV at 10mA sink, supporting direct interface with logic-level or discrete transistor drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5V to 20V DC - enables direct connection to 12V automotive batteries without external regulation. |
| Output Type | Open-collector pre-driver - allows flexible pull-up to any compatible logic rail (e.g., 3.3V, 5V, or 12V). |
| Sink Current | 25mA max - sufficient to drive small relays, optocouplers, or base/gate of discrete power switches. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood motor control, transmission sensors, and industrial actuators. |
| Hysteresis | 30–120 Gauss - suppresses chatter in fluctuating magnetic fields near switching thresholds. |
| Power Dissipation | 550mW (SIP-3 Bulk Pack @ 25°C) - derates linearly to 0mW at +150°C per published thermal curve. |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Built-in - prevents damage if Vcc and GND are swapped during installation or service. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) - 3-pin single-inline package with straight leads, optimized for through-hole mounting in high-reliability motor assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vcc | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.5–20V DC; powers internal regulator, Hall element, and output stage. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and output current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 3 - OUT | Open-collector output | Sinks up to 25mA when active; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latch operation | Requires magnetic polarity reversal to toggle - eliminates false triggers from unidirectional field drift. |
| Wide supply range (3.5–20V) | Eliminates need for external LDO in 12V battery-fed systems - reduces BOM count and layout area. |
| Integrated reverse-polarity protection | Withstands accidental Vcc/GND swap - critical for field-serviceable automotive modules. |
| High-temperature junction rating (+150°C) | Supports placement adjacent to motors, gearboxes, or exhaust components without thermal derating penalties. |
| Lead-free & halogen-free "Green" construction | Complies with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and automotive ELV directive - suitable for global OEM production. |

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-only packaging | Optimized for low-voltage battery-powered devices and space-constrained PCBs | Select when operating below 3.5V or requiring SOT23 footprint; not drop-in for SIP-3 layouts. |
| US1881 | Similar SIP-3 package, wider Bop range (10–90 Gauss), no built-in reverse-polarity protection | Used in cost-sensitive industrial encoders where external protection is acceptable | Choose only if reverse-protection is implemented externally and higher hysteresis tolerance is needed. |
Compared with AH175-PG-B-A, AH3724 offers better low-voltage compatibility and smaller footprint but lacks SIP-3 availability, while US1881 matches the package but shifts design responsibility for polarity protection to the system level - making AH175 the preferred choice for ruggedized automotive deployments where board-level protection is impractical.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH175-PG-B-A activation?
The AH175 activates when a South pole approaches the branded side of the package with flux density exceeding Bop (15–60 Gauss, A-grade). Output remains latched until field reversal drops below Brp (-60 to -15 Gauss). North pole exposure alone does not trigger switching - bipolar latch behavior requires polarity reversal.
Can AH175-PG-B-A drive an LED directly without a current-limiting resistor?
No. While the device sinks up to 25mA, it lacks internal current limiting. A series resistor must be used between the pull-up rail and OUT pin to limit LED current - e.g., 470Ω for ~12mA at 12V supply. Exceeding 25mA risks permanent damage to the output transistor.
Is AH175-PG-B-A qualified to AEC-Q100?
Yes - Diodes specifies that AH175 meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements (−40°C to +150°C ambient) for automotive applications. Full qualification documentation, including HTOL, ESD, and thermal cycling reports, is available upon request from Diodes' automotive sales team.
Why is AH175 marked "NRND" and what does that mean for existing designs?
"NRND" (Not Recommended for New Designs) indicates Diodes has introduced newer alternatives like AH3724 with improved specs. However, AH175-PG-B-A remains fully manufactured, supported, and available for legacy production - with no announced obsolescence date or last-time-buy constraints.
