Product details
Overview
AH175-WG-7-B from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latch sensor designed for high-temperature rotor position sensing and RPM detection in brushless DC motors. It operates from 3.5V to 20V, delivers 25mA sink current, features open-collector output, and supports ambient temperatures from −40°C to +150°C in SC59 (SOT23) package.
For engineers reviewing the AH175-WG-7-B datasheet, AH175-WG-7-B pinout, AH175-WG-7-B application, or AH175-WG-7-B equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release points (Bop/Brp), thermal derating curves for SC59, 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 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.
It functions as a digital latch: output switches low when south-pole flux exceeds Bop (e.g., 15–60 Gauss for Grade A), remains latched until flux reverses and falls below Brp (e.g., −60 to −15 Gauss), ensuring noise-immune edge detection in rotating machinery.
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 encoder environments |
| Magnetic Hysteresis | 30–120 Gauss - prevents chatter during slow or noisy magnetic transitions |
| Output Saturation Voltage | ≤400mV at 10mA - ensures clean logic-low level compatible with 3.3V/5V CMOS inputs |
| Power Dissipation (SC59) | 230mW at 25°C, derates to 0mW at 150°C - requires thermal-aware PCB layout per Diodes' SOT23 pad recommendations |
Pinout & Package
AH175-WG-7-B is packaged in SC59 (industry-standard SOT23 footprint), with 3-pin surface-mount configuration optimized for automated assembly and high-density motor control PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc (Pin 1) | Positive power supply input | Accepts 3.5–20V; powers internal regulator, amplifier, and comparator stages |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and output current; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| OUT (Pin 3) | Open-collector digital output | Sinks up to 25mA; requires external pull-up resistor to define logic-high level and voltage domain |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar Latching Logic | Retains output state between magnetic transitions - eliminates need for external memory or microcontroller polling in position tracking |
| Integrated Reverse-Polarity Protection | Withstands −20V supply reversal - protects against accidental battery misconnection in automotive and industrial wiring |
| Temperature-Compensated Thresholds | Bop/Brp stability over −40°C to +150°C - maintains consistent switching points without calibration across thermal cycles |
| Lead-Free & Halogen-Free Construction | Meets RoHS 2 (2011/65/EU) and Diodes' "Green" definition (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - compliant for global industrial and automotive shipments |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Commutation | Automotive Throttle Position Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting rotor magnet polarity in 3-phase BLDC motors for electronic commutation timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital Hall latch providing synchronized edge-triggered signals to motor driver ICs.

Use Scenario: Counting gear teeth or slotted disk rotations in CNC machine tool encoders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-detecting latch converting mechanical rotation into deterministic digital pulses. Use Value: 25mA sink capability drives long traces or multiple gate inputs without buffering; SC59 footprint saves board space in compact modules. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring fan RPM in server power supplies or industrial HVAC systems exposed to elevated ambient heat. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Magnetic zero-crossing detector feeding tachometer input of PMIC or microcontroller. Use Value: Derated power dissipation curve (230mW → 0mW from 25°C → 150°C) allows accurate thermal margining in sealed enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Diodes AH3774 | Higher sensitivity (Bop: 3–12 mT), integrated Schmitt trigger, 3.3V–26V supply | Designed for low-field detection in proximity sensing; lacks reverse-polarity protection | Select AH3774 only when operating near weak magnets or requiring tighter threshold control; verify external protection circuitry needed |
| Allegro A1120EUA-T | Wider temperature range (−40°C to +150°C), 20mA sink, no reverse-voltage protection | Optimized for cost-sensitive consumer encoders; SC59 package but lower max sink current | Prefer A1120EUA-T for non-automotive applications where reverse-polarity risk is absent and 20mA drive suffices |
Compared with AH175-WG-7-B, AH3774 offers finer magnetic resolution but requires added protection circuitry, while A1120EUA-T reduces cost and size at the expense of drive strength and fault resilience-making AH175-WG-7-B optimal for thermally demanding, safety-critical motor control where robustness is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH175-WG-7-B activation?
AH175-WG-7-B activates when a south pole approaches the branded side of the package, with Bop ranging from 15–60 Gauss (Grade A). It releases only upon magnetic reversal to a south-pole field weaker than Brp (−60 to −15 Gauss). North-pole approach does not trigger switching - polarity-specific operation is inherent to its bipolar latch architecture.
Can AH175-WG-7-B operate without an external pull-up resistor?
No. The OUT pin is an open-collector output and requires an external pull-up resistor to define the logic-high voltage level and current limit. Typical values range from 1kΩ to 10kΩ depending on rise-time requirements and supply voltage; omission results in undefined or floating output states during the "off" condition.
Is AH175-WG-7-B suitable for new designs despite the "NRND" marking?
Yes - "NRND" applies only to legacy SIP-3 variants (AH175-PG-A-A/B, AH175-PG-B-A/B); AH175-WG-7-B (SC59, tape-and-reel) is actively supported, listed in Diodes' current portfolio, and qualified for new designs requiring SOT23-compatible Hall latches with reverse-polarity protection and 150°C operation.
How does thermal derating affect AH175-WG-7-B's maximum output current at 125°C?
At 125°C, the SC59 package's power dissipation limit drops to 110mW. With VOUT(SAT) ≤400mV at 10mA, sustained 25mA sinking would exceed thermal limits. For continuous operation at 125°C, output current must be limited to ≤20mA - verified using Diodes' SC59 derating curve (DS31043, page 4) and PCB copper area per recommended pad layout.
