Product details
Overview
AH180-PG-A-S from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower omnipolar Hall-effect sensor switch in SIP-3L package, operating from 2.5V to 5.5V with 24μW typical supply power at 3V, ±40–60 G magnetic operate point, and open-drain output activated by either north or south pole - used in clam-shell phone cover detection.
For engineers reviewing the AH180-PG-A-S datasheet, AH180-PG-A-S pinout, AH180-PG-A-S application, or AH180-PG-A-S equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic sensitivity hysteresis (15 G typ), chopper-stabilized temperature stability, RoHS-compliant green molding compound, and SIP-3L lead-free packaging for space-constrained portable designs.
Technical Context
The AH180 employs dual Hall plates and chopper stabilization to cancel offset drift and suppress thermal stress effects, enabling stable switching across –40°C to +85°C ambient range. Its latch-free architecture delivers single-pole-triggered output without internal memory.
Magnetic response is defined by bipolar operate points (±40–60 G) and release points (±10–30 G), yielding 15 G typical hysteresis. The open-drain output requires external pull-up (10–100 kΩ) and supports 1 mA sink current with <0.3 V on-state voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - enables direct integration into 3.3 V and 5 V battery-powered rails without regulation. |
| Supply Current (avg) | 8–24 μA - ensures multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in cover-sense applications. |
| Operate Point (Bop) | ±40–60 G - detects weak magnetic fields from small magnets in thin clamshell lids. |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | 15 G typ - prevents chatter during marginal field transitions near threshold. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows wired-OR logic, level translation, and flexible pull-up configuration. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | 6 kV - protects against handling damage in high-volume assembly of consumer handhelds. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - supports full industrial range without derating in portable enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3L package: 3-pin single-inline package with gull-wing leads, 2.00 mm × 1.15 mm body, 0.51 mm nominal thickness, branded top surface, and active area depth of 0.43 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vdd | Power supply input - accepts 2.5–5.5 V; internal regulator not required. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return path for Hall plate bias and output stage. |
| 3 | Output | Open-drain output - sinks up to 1 mA; requires external pull-up resistor (10–100 kΩ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnipolar magnetic sensing | Detects either north or south pole - eliminates magnet orientation constraints in mechanical assembly. |
| Chopper-stabilized architecture | Reduces offset drift to <1 mV/°C - maintains consistent Bop/Brp over temperature without calibration. |
| Green molding compound (Br/Sb-free) | Complies with EU RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC - meets environmental compliance for global consumer shipments. |
| Low-power wake-up timing | 75–125 μs awake time - enables rapid response after sleep mode entry in power-gated systems. |
| RF noise immunity | Validated against common-band interference - sustains reliable switching in noisy cellular RF environments. |
Applications
| Clam-Shell Phone Cover Detection | Notebook Lid Switch |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-power Hall switch feeding wake signal to BLE SoC's deep-sleep wake pin. Use Value: Draws only 8–16 μA average current - extends 200 mAh coin cell life beyond 18 months in intermittent-use mode. |
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 A3212LLHLT-T | Higher supply current (45 μA avg), wider Bop range (±25–75 G), SC59 package only | Requires higher PCB area due to larger thermal pad; less suitable for ultra-thin clamshell gaps | Select if wider magnetic tolerance or legacy SC59 footprint compatibility is required |
| MELEXIS US5881LUA-ABA-000-REEL | Integrated pull-up resistor, fixed 3.3 V operation, DFN1616-4 package | No external pull-up needed but lacks voltage flexibility; incompatible with 5 V systems | Choose for simplified BOM count in 3.3 V-only designs where SIP-3L height is acceptable |
Compared with A3212LLHLT-T and US5881LUA-ABA-000-REEL, AH180-PG-A-S uniquely balances ultra-low power (8–24 μA), SIP-3L compactness (2.0 × 1.15 mm), and 2.5–5.5 V flexibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained, multi-rail portable cover-sense applications.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH180-PG-A-S operation?
AH180-PG-A-S is an omnipolar Hall switch: it activates with either a north or south magnetic pole presented to its branded surface. No magnet polarity orientation is required during mechanical integration - simplifying assembly and reducing field-test failures in clamshell or lid applications.
Does AH180-PG-A-S require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - AH180-PG-A-S features an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor between Vdd and the Output pin. Diodes recommends 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ; lower values improve rise time but increase static current, while higher values reduce power but risk noise susceptibility in EMI-prone layouts.
Can AH180-PG-A-S operate from a 2.5 V lithium coin cell?
Yes - AH180-PG-A-S is fully specified down to 2.5 V supply voltage and draws only 8–24 μA average current at that rail. It maintains valid magnetic switching performance across the full –40°C to +85°C range, making it suitable for long-life coin-cell applications like smart watches and remote controls.
Is the SIP-3L package of AH180-PG-A-S compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles?
Yes - the SIP-3L package uses standard gull-wing leads and complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1. It supports peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C and is qualified for lead-free soldering per Diodes' AP02001 pad layout guidelines and AP02007 taping specifications.
