Product details
Overview
AH182-PG-B from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, bipolar-operated Hall-effect switch in SIP-3L package, designed for battery-powered handheld devices. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, consumes only 5–10 µA average supply current, features 40–60 G operation point (Bop), and switches output low when exposed to sufficient south-pole magnetic field - used in clamshell cover detection and position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the AH182-PG-B datasheet, AH182-PG-B pinout, AH182-PG-B application, or AH182-PG-B equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low power consumption (<10 µA avg), SIP-3L thermal derating profile, magnetic hysteresis (≥10 G), Bop/Brp stability over −40°C to +85°C, and RoHS-compliant green packaging with lead-free finish.
Technical Context
The AH182-PG-B integrates a Hall plate, chopper-stabilized amplifier, offset-cancelling circuitry, and open-drain CMOS output driver in a single die. Its internal architecture enables stable switching under mechanical stress and temperature variation, with hysteresis (Bhy) ensuring noise-immune state retention.
It functions as a digital proximity sensor: output turns on (low) when B ≥ Bop (40–60 G, south pole), remains latched until B ≤ Brp (10–30 G), then releases. Awake time is ≤100 µs, and duty cycle is 0.1%, enabling multi-year battery life in intermittent-sense applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V to 5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, NiMH, and alkaline battery systems without regulation. |
| Avg. Supply Current | 5–10 µA - enables >5-year operation on CR2032 coin cell in 1Hz wake-up interval. |
| Operation Point (Bop) | 40–60 Gauss (south pole) - ensures reliable actuation with small ferrite magnets at 2–4 mm air gap. |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | ≥10 Gauss - prevents chatter during slow magnetic transitions near threshold. |
| Output Type | Open-drain CMOS - supports flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤Vdd, compatible with 1.8V–5V logic interfaces. |
| Operating Temp. | −40°C to +85°C - validated for consumer portable and industrial enclosure environments. |
| Power Dissipation | 550 mW (SIP-3L, 25°C) - derates linearly to 0 mW at TJ = +150°C; supports high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SIP-3L (Single In-line Package, 3-pin, straight-lead bulk variant). Dimensions: 3.00 × 1.30 × 1.70 mm (L×W×H), branded surface identifies active area location.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vdd | Power supply input - must be decoupled with 10–100 nF capacitor close to pin for noise immunity. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference - shared return path for Hall plate, amplifier, and output stage; requires low-impedance connection. |
| 3 | Output | Open-drain output - sinks up to 10 mA; requires external pull-up (10–100 kΩ) to define logic-high level. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 5–10 µA avg. supply current enables >5-year battery life in low-duty-cycle cover-detect applications. |
| Offset Cancelling Technology | Chopper-stabilized architecture eliminates thermal drift and process-induced offset, maintaining Bop stability across temperature. |
| Superior Temperature Stability | Bop shift < ±10% over −40°C to +85°C - avoids recalibration in uncontrolled ambient deployments. |
| Insensitive to Physical Stress | Monolithic construction resists sensitivity shift from PCB flexure or encapsulation strain in compact handheld assemblies. |
| Green Packaging | SIP-3L with lead-free finish, halogen/antimony-free molding compound - meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC MSL1 requirements. |

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 Idd(avg) = 17 µA; Bop = 30–55 G; SC70-3 package (1.25 × 0.85 mm). | Smaller footprint but lower thermal mass - unsuitable for high-temperature sustained operation (>85°C ambient). | Select when board space is constrained and average current budget allows ~3× higher than AH182-PG-B. |
| MELEXIS US5881LUA-ABA-000-REEL | Unipolar (south-only), Idd(avg) = 2.5 µA, Bop = 20–40 G, TSOT-23-3 package. | Lacks hysteresis specification; requires external RC filtering for noise immunity in EMI-prone environments. | Select only for ultra-low-power, low-noise environments where magnetic field strength is tightly controlled. |
Compared with A3212LLHLT-T and US5881LUA-ABA-000-REEL, AH182-PG-B offers superior thermal robustness (550 mW @ 25°C), guaranteed hysteresis (≥10 G), and SIP-3L mechanical stability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume portable electronics requiring long-term reliability without design margin trade-offs.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH182-PG-B activation?
The AH182-PG-B activates (output low) when a south pole of sufficient strength approaches the branded side of the SIP-3L package. Its Bop is specified at 40–60 Gauss for south-pole excitation; north-pole exposure does not trigger switching. This polarity behavior is fixed per package type and cannot be reversed via configuration.
Can AH182-PG-B operate directly from a 1.8V supply?
No. AH182-PG-B requires a minimum supply voltage of 2.5V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. At 1.8V, the internal regulator and Hall amplifier fail to bias correctly, resulting in undefined output behavior and potential latch-up. A boost converter or LDO is required to raise voltage to ≥2.5V for reliable operation.
Is AH182-PG-B pin-compatible with AH183 variants?
Yes - AH182-PG-B and AH183 variants share identical SIP-3L pinout (Vdd, GND, Output), same footprint, and identical electrical interface. However, AH183 draws 280–500 µA average current versus AH182's 5–10 µA, so substitution affects battery life and thermal design but not layout or firmware.
Does AH182-PG-B require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes. The output is open-drain CMOS and must be pulled up externally to a logic-compatible voltage (≤Vdd). Diodes recommends 10–100 kΩ; 47 kΩ is typical for 3.3V systems. Omitting the pull-up results in floating output and undefined microcontroller input states.
