Product details
Overview
AH1801-SNG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, ultra-sensitive Hall effect switch with inverted output logic, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, consumes only 8–27 µA average supply current at 3V, and features ±40–60 Gauss operate point (Bop) and 10–30 Gauss hysteresis (Bhy) for reliable magnetic detection in low-power hand-held devices.
For engineers reviewing the AH1801-SNG-7 datasheet, AH1801-SNG-7 pinout, AH1801-SNG-7 application, or AH1801-SNG-7 equivalent, key selection factors include its DFN2020-6 package footprint, inverted output-on-no-field behavior, chopper-stabilized architecture for drift suppression, and verified operation across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The AH1801-SNG-7 integrates dual Hall plates with offset cancellation and a chopper-stabilized amplifier to suppress thermal drift and mechanical stress effects. Its internal latch ensures stable output state retention until magnetic field drops below release point (Brp), enabling robust switching in noisy environments.
It uses an active-low open-drain output with 0.1–0.3 V on-state voltage at 1 mA load and <1 µA off-state leakage. Power management includes ultra-low 5–18 µA disable-mode current and 3–9 mA enable-mode current, supporting duty-cycled wake-up schemes with 75–150 µs awake time.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion and alkaline battery systems |
| Average Supply Current | 8–27 µA at 3 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on sensing applications |
| Operate Point (Bop) | ±40–60 Gauss - detects weak magnetic fields from small magnets or low-strength actuation |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | 10–30 Gauss - prevents chatter near threshold and improves noise immunity |
| Output Type | Inverted open-drain - pulls low when magnet present; high-impedance otherwise, requiring external pull-up |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for consumer and industrial portable equipment environments |
| ESD Rating | >5 kV HBM - protects against electrostatic discharge during handling and assembly |
Pinout & Package
AH1801-SNG-7 is housed in a 6-pin DFN2020-6 package (2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.6 mm), with exposed thermal pad and pin 1 marked by a dot. The package supports automated optical alignment and provides enhanced thermal performance over 3-pin variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Positive power supply input - must be decoupled with 10–100 nF capacitor near pin |
| 2 | NC | No connection - internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout guidelines |
| 3 | Output | Open-drain output - sinks current when magnet detected; requires external pull-up resistor (10–100 kΩ) |
| 4 | NC | No connection - internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout guidelines |
| 5 | GND | Ground reference - connect directly to low-impedance ground plane for noise immunity |
| 6 | NC | No connection - internally unconnected; leave floating or tie to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 8–27 µA average current enables >5-year battery life in coin-cell-powered IoT sensors |
| Chopper Stabilization | Eliminates offset drift over temperature and time, maintaining consistent Bop/Brp across –40°C to +85°C |
| Inverted Output Logic | Output defaults high (open-drain) without magnet - simplifies interface with microcontroller GPIO interrupt inputs |
| North/South Pole Sensitivity | Detects either polarity - allows flexible mechanical design with magnet orientation freedom |
| RF Noise Immunity | Validated against common wireless interference sources - suitable for cellular and Bluetooth-enabled handhelds |

Use Value: Inverted logic eliminates external inverter; 10–30 Gauss hysteresis prevents false triggers from vibration or stray fields. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALLEGRO A1104LUA-T | Higher 3.5 mA supply current; 3-pin SOT-23 package; no inverted output | Requires external inverter for same logic; less suited for multi-year battery life | Select if higher magnetic sensitivity (15–25 Gauss Bop) is required and power budget allows |
| MELEXIS US5881LUA-ABA-00-BU | 3.3 V fixed supply; 2.5 µA typical IDD; DFN1616-4 package; non-inverted output | Needs level-shifting or logic inversion; smaller footprint but different pinout | Choose for lowest power in 3.3 V systems where inverted logic can be implemented externally |
Compared with A1104LUA-T and US5881LUA-ABA-00-BU, AH1801-SNG-7 uniquely combines inverted logic, DFN2020-6 packaging, and sub-30 µA operation-making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life battery applications where signal polarity alignment reduces BOM count.

FAQ
What is the function of the NC pins on AH1801-SNG-7?
Pins 2, 4, and 6 are no-connect terminals-internally unconnected and electrically isolated. Diodes Incorporated recommends leaving them floating or tying them to GND for mechanical stability and ESD protection, per their DFN2020-6 layout guidelines. They do not affect functionality or biasing.
Does AH1801-SNG-7 require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes. AH1801-SNG-7 features an open-drain output that sinks current when activated. A pull-up resistor (10–100 kΩ) between VDD and the Output pin is mandatory to establish a valid high logic level when the output is inactive. Without it, the output remains undefined.
Is AH1801-SNG-7 still recommended for new designs?
No. Per Diodes Incorporated's ordering information, AH1801-SNG-7 carries "NRND" (Not Recommended for New Design) status. It remains available for legacy support, but designers should consider newer alternatives like AH1808 or APX803 series for new projects requiring extended lifecycle assurance.
How does chopper stabilization improve AH1801-SNG-7 performance?
Chopper stabilization dynamically cancels amplifier input offset voltage by modulating the signal path at high frequency and demodulating it post-amplification. This reduces temperature-induced drift and 1/f noise, ensuring stable operate/release points (Bop/Brp) across –40°C to +85°C and over device lifetime.
