Product details
Overview
AH1809-P-A from Diodes Incorporated is a low-sensitivity, micropower omnipolar Hall-effect switch IC designed for contactless position sensing in battery-powered smart meters, tamper detection systems, and industrial proximity switches. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, consumes only 8–16 µA average supply current at 3V, features ±130 Gauss typical operate point (Bop), and delivers open-drain output switching with 15 Gauss typical hysteresis.
For engineers reviewing the AH1809-P-A datasheet, AH1809-P-A pinout, AH1809-P-A application, or AH1809-P-A equivalent, key selection considerations include its SIP-3L package footprint, -40°C to +125°C operating range, 24 µW ultra-low power consumption at 3V, and bipolar magnetic field response without polarity dependency.
Technical Context
The AH1809 employs chopper-stabilized architecture with dual Hall plates to suppress offset drift and deliver stable magnetic switching across temperature. Its internal circuitry enables reliable operation under mechanical stress and RF noise, with guaranteed hysteresis of 5–20 Gauss over full temperature range.
It integrates wake/sleep cycling with 75–125 µs awake time and 75–125 ms period, achieving micropower performance while maintaining fast magnetic response. The output remains latched off in zero-field condition and activates only when |B| exceeds Bop, releasing when |B| falls below Brp.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V to 5.5V - Enables direct integration into 3V and 5V battery or rail-powered systems without regulation. |
| Average Supply Current | 8–16 µA @ 3V, 25°C - Supports >10-year battery life in smart meter tamper switches. |
| Operate Point (Bop) | ±100 to ±165 Gauss - Low sensitivity avoids false triggers from ambient fields; requires deliberate magnet placement. |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | 5–20 Gauss - Prevents chatter during slow magnetic transitions near threshold. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - Allows flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤5.5V and wired-OR interfacing. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - Qualified for outdoor smart meter enclosures and industrial control panels. |
| ESD Rating | 6 kV HBM - Robust against handling and system-level ESD events in production and field service. |
Pinout & Package
The AH1809-P-A is supplied in SIP-3L (Straight Lead) package, a 3-pin through-hole package with 2.51–2.57 mm height, 14.0–15.0 mm body length, and 1.40–1.60 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 = VDD, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUTPUT.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; internal regulator powers analog core and digital logic. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and output sink current; must be low-impedance. |
| 3 (OUTPUT) | Open-drain output | Sinks up to 2.5 mA; requires external pull-up; active-low magnetic presence indicator. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnipolar magnetic response | Switches on with either North or South pole - eliminates magnet orientation constraints in mechanical assembly. |
| Chopper-stabilized architecture | ±15 Gauss max Bop drift over -40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent trip points without calibration. |
| Micropower sleep mode | 5–10 µA IDD(sleep) @ 3V - reduces quiescent load during idle periods in battery-critical applications. |
| RF noise immunity | Validated against common industrial EMI sources - prevents spurious triggering in motor-driven or wireless environments. |
| Lead-free & green construction | <900 ppm Br/Cl, <1000 ppm Sb - meets RoHS 2 and environmental compliance for global metering deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar omnipolar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ALLEGRO A3263LLHLT-T | Higher sensitivity (±35 Gauss Bop); 3.3V fixed supply; SOT-23 package | Better for weak-field or tight-gap designs; less suitable for high-noise or wide-air-gap use cases | Select when magnet strength is limited and PCB space is constrained; avoid where ambient field immunity is critical |
| MELEXIS US1881EUA-ABA-000-SP | Wider supply range (2.7–24V); higher output drive (50 mA); TO-92 package | Supports direct solenoid/LED driving; requires larger footprint and higher quiescent current (120 µA) | Choose for direct-load interfacing or multi-voltage systems; not optimal for ultra-low-power battery nodes |
Compared with A3263LLHLT-T and US1881EUA-ABA-000-SP, the AH1809-P-A uniquely balances ultra-low power (8–16 µA), robust hysteresis (5–20 Gauss), and SIP-3L through-hole reliability-making it optimal for long-life, noise-immune, mechanically rugged metering and industrial position sensing.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH1809-P-A activation?
The AH1809-P-A is an omnipolar Hall switch: it activates with either a North or South magnetic pole applied perpendicular to the package marking side. No magnet polarity orientation is required during mechanical integration, simplifying assembly and reducing field-installation errors in smart meter or appliance applications.
Can AH1809-P-A operate directly from a lithium coin cell?
Yes. With 8–16 µA average supply current at 3V and 2.5V minimum operating voltage, the AH1809-P-A supports direct operation from CR2032 (3V) or even partially discharged Li-MnO₂ cells down to 2.5V, enabling decade-long battery life in tamper-detection nodes without voltage boosting circuitry.
Does AH1809-P-A require an external capacitor?
Yes. A 10 nF to 100 nF bypass capacitor (CIN) between VDD and GND is recommended per the datasheet to stabilize supply and improve RF noise immunity. This capacitor mitigates transient coupling from nearby motors or wireless transceivers, preventing false triggering in industrial or smart-home environments.
Is the SIP-3L package of AH1809-P-A compatible with wave soldering?
Yes. The SIP-3L package is qualified for standard wave soldering profiles per J-STD-020. Its straight-lead configuration and 2.51–2.57 mm height allow reliable through-hole insertion and wetting. Peak temperature exposure must remain ≤260°C for ≤10 seconds, consistent with Diodes' packaging specifications in DS35523 Rev. 4-2.
