Product details
Overview
AH1803-SNG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an ultra-sensitive, micropower Hall effect switch with dual Hall plates and CMOS output driver, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It operates from 2.4–5.5 V, consumes only 8–27 µA average supply current at 3 V, features ±3 mT operate point (Bop), 1 mT hysteresis (Bhy), and functions across –40°C to +85°C - enabling reliable magnetic detection in flip covers and proximity sensing for smartphones.
For engineers reviewing the AH1803-SNG-7 datasheet, AH1803-SNG-7 pinout, AH1803-SNG-7 application, or AH1803-SNG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low power consumption (<30 µA avg), bipolar magnetic sensitivity (north/south pole activation), SC59/DFN2020-6 package compatibility, chopper-stabilized offset cancellation, and RF noise immunity in space-constrained handheld designs.
Technical Context
The AH1803-SNG-7 implements a chopper-stabilized architecture with two independent Hall plates and offset-cancelling amplifiers to suppress thermal drift and mechanical stress effects. Its logical latch ensures stable output state retention until magnetic flux drops below the release point (Brp), delivering clean digital switching without external debouncing.
It uses internal power-switching and sampling control with a 75–150 µs awake time and 75–150 ms period, ensuring predictable timing behavior during wake-up and low-power operation. The device's bipolar magnetic response (±2–4 mT Bop) and 0.5–1 mT hysteresis enable robust operation under varying temperature and mechanical conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AH1803-SNG-7 is packaged in the DFN2020-6 (2.0 × 2.0 mm, 0.65 mm pitch) lead-free, halogen-free "Green" package. Pin 1 = Vdd, Pin 2 = NC (recommended tied to GND), Pin 3 = Output, Pin 4 = NC, Pin 5 = GND, Pin 6 = NC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Vdd) | Power supply input | Accepts 2.4–5.5 V; decoupling capacitor (10–100 nF) required at this node for noise immunity |
| 2 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND for mechanical stability and EMI reduction |
| 3 (Output) | Digital output | CMOS push-pull - sinks 1 mA / sources –1 mA; active-low when magnet present |
| 4 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND |
| 5 (GND) | Ground reference | Must be low-impedance return path; shares reference with Vdd and Output |
| 6 (NC) | No connection | Internally unconnected; recommended to tie to GND |

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 A3212LLHLT-T | Higher Bop (±5 mT); 3.3–5.5 V only; SOT23-3 package | Requires stronger magnet; not suitable for 2.4 V coin-cell operation | Select if higher magnetic immunity is needed and supply ≥3.3 V |
| MELEXIS US1881EUA-ABA-000-REEL | Unipolar (south-only); 3–24 V range; TO-92 package | Larger footprint; incompatible with DFN2020-6 layout; requires different magnet polarity | Select for high-voltage industrial use where bipolar operation is unnecessary |
Compared with A3212LLHLT-T and US1881EUA-ABA-000-REEL, AH1803-SNG-7 uniquely supports 2.4 V operation, bipolar detection, and ultra-low µA-level current draw in a 2.0×2.0 mm DFN - making it optimal for miniaturized, long-life battery devices where magnet strength and voltage headroom are constrained.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH1803-SNG-7?
AH1803-SNG-7 responds to both north and south magnetic poles applied to the branded side of the package. Its bipolar operation eliminates magnet orientation constraints during mechanical integration - a key advantage over unipolar Hall switches that require strict pole alignment.
Does AH1803-SNG-7 require an external pull-up resistor?
No. AH1803-SNG-7 features a CMOS push-pull output stage capable of actively driving high or low without external components. The output delivers VOH ≥ Vdd−0.2 V and VOL ≤ 0.1 V at rated load, enabling direct interface to standard logic inputs.
Is AH1803-SNG-7 suitable for automotive applications?
AH1803-SNG-7 is specified for –40°C to +85°C operation and meets AEC-Q200 stress test recommendations for passive components, but it is not AEC-Q100 qualified. It is intended for consumer and industrial portable electronics, not safety-critical automotive subsystems.
Why does the datasheet mark AH1803-SNG-7 as "NRND"?
"NRND" (Not Recommended for New Design) indicates Diodes Incorporated has introduced newer-generation Hall switches (e.g., AH1806) with enhanced features. However, AH1803-SNG-7 remains fully manufactured, stocked, and supported - ideal for legacy designs, cost-sensitive projects, or where its specific Bop/Bhy profile is preferred.
