Product details
Overview
AH175-PG-B-B from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latch sensor designed for high-temperature rotor position and RPM sensing in brushless DC motor control. It operates from 3.5V to 20V, delivers 25mA sink current, features built-in reverse-polarity protection, and functions across –40°C to +150°C. Its open-collector pre-driver output switches low when magnetic flux exceeds Bop (15–60 Gauss) and holds state until reversal falls below Brp (–60 to –15 Gauss).
For engineers reviewing the AH175-PG-B-B datasheet, AH175-PG-B-B pinout, AH175-PG-B-B application, or AH175-PG-B-B equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic hysteresis (30–120 Gauss), junction temperature rating (+150°C), SIP-3 bulk-pack package footprint, and compatibility with three-phase Hall motor commutation logic.
Technical Context
The AH175 integrates a Hall voltage generator, amplifier, comparator with hysteresis, and open-collector pre-driver - all powered by an internal band-gap regulator that enables stable operation across its 3.5–20V supply range. Its bipolar latching behavior requires magnetic polarity reversal to toggle output state, eliminating need for external timing components.
It supports automotive-grade thermal reliability via AEC-Q100-aligned design (though not formally qualified), with power dissipation derated from 550mW at 25°C to 0mW at 150°C in SIP-3 bulk-pack configuration. Magnetic thresholds are specified per grade (A/B), with typical Bhy = 80 Gauss for noise immunity in noisy motor environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5V to 20V DC - supports direct connection to 12V automotive rails without external regulation |
| Output Type | Open-collector pre-driver - interfaces directly with NPN/PNP driver stages or logic-level inputs |
| Sink Current | 25mA max - drives standard optocouplers or small-signal transistors without buffering |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +150°C - enables placement near motor windings or under-hood locations |
| Magnetic Hysteresis | 30–120 Gauss - suppresses chatter during slow or noisy magnetic transitions |
| Power Dissipation | 550mW @ 25°C (SIP-3 Bulk Pack) - defines maximum continuous load at ambient before thermal shutdown |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Built-in - prevents damage if Vcc and GND are swapped during assembly or field service |
Pinout & Package
The AH175-PG-B-B is supplied in SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) - a 3-pin single-inline package with straight leads, optimized for through-hole mounting in high-reliability motor control assemblies.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vcc | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.5–20V; powers internal regulator, Hall element, and comparator |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and output stage; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 - OUT | Open-collector output | Sinks up to 25mA when active; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latching operation | Requires South-to-brand-side magnetic field to turn on, and polarity reversal to turn off - eliminates need for external reset signals |
| Integrated band-gap regulator | Stabilizes internal bias over supply and temperature - ensures consistent switching thresholds from 3.5V to 20V |
| High-temperature capability | Junction rated to +150°C - allows direct mounting on motor housings or near heat sources without derating |
| Lead-free & green construction | Meets RoHS 3 and halogen/antimony-free requirements (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - compliant for global automotive shipments |

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 Bop/Brp symmetry (±30 Gauss), lower ICC (2.5mA typ), SC59/SIP-3 options | Optimized for low-power, space-constrained designs; same thermal rating but improved magnetic consistency | Select AH3724 for new designs requiring tighter hysteresis control and reduced quiescent current |
| US1881 | Unipolar operation, 2.7–24V supply, 50mA sink, TO-92/SOT23 packages | Lacks bipolar latching - requires alternating North/South fields for toggling; better for simple proximity detection | Choose US1881 only where unipolar response suffices and higher sink current is needed |
Compared with AH175-PG-B-B, AH3724 offers superior magnetic repeatability and lower power consumption for next-gen motor control, while US1881 trades latching behavior for broader voltage range and higher drive strength - making it suitable only for non-latching use cases.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH175-PG-B-B activation?
The AH175-PG-B-B activates when a South pole approaches the branded side of the package (Bop = 15–60 Gauss). It remains latched until a reversed (North) field drops below Brp (–60 to –15 Gauss). This bipolar latching behavior is intrinsic to its internal comparator hysteresis and does not require external circuitry.
Can AH175-PG-B-B be used with a 5V microcontroller I/O pin?
Yes - its open-collector output can interface directly with 5V logic by adding a pull-up resistor (e.g., 10kΩ) from OUT to 5V. The device's 25mA sink capability safely drives standard GPIO inputs, and its 3.5–20V supply range allows independent Vcc biasing separate from the MCU rail.
Is AH175-PG-B-B qualified to AEC-Q100?
No - AH175-PG-B-B is not AEC-Q100 qualified. While it meets the thermal and electrical specifications required for automotive under-hood use (–40°C to +150°C, reverse-polarity protection), formal qualification requires additional stress testing and documentation. Diodes recommends AH3724 for AEC-Q100-compliant designs.
Why is AH175 marked "Not Recommended for New Designs"?
Diodes has designated AH175 as NRND due to the introduction of the AH3724, which improves magnetic threshold symmetry, reduces quiescent current, and extends long-term reliability. AH175-PG-B-B remains fully supported for existing production and legacy repair, but AH3724 is the preferred replacement for new schematics.
