Product details
Overview
AH182-WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, bipolar-operated Hall-effect switch in SC59 (SOT-23) package, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It features 2.5–5.5V operation, 5–10 µA average supply current (AH182), 40–60 Gauss operate point (south pole activation), and open-drain output with 0.1 V typical on-state voltage at 1 mA - deployed in clamshell phone lid detection and PDA cover sensing.
For engineers reviewing the AH182-WG-7 datasheet, AH182-WG-7 pinout, AH182-WG-7 application, or AH182-WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic polarity sensitivity (south-pole-on for SC59), ultra-low power consumption (<15 µW at 2.75 V), thermal stability across –40°C to +85°C, and RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging with halogen/antimony-free molding compound.
Technical Context
The AH182-WG-7 integrates a Hall plate, chopper-stabilized amplifier, offset-canceling circuitry, and CMOS output driver in a single die. Its hysteresis (Bhy ≥10 Gauss) ensures noise-immune switching, while the internal regulation enables stable operation across 2.5–5.5 V supply range without external LDO.
Magnetic actuation is polarity-specific per package: SC59 (AH182-WG-7) activates on south-pole approach to the branded side, with Bop = 40–60 Gauss and Brp = 10–30 Gauss. The device remains latched off with no field and exhibits <0.1 µA leakage current when inactive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to Li-ion, NiMH, or alkaline battery rails without regulation. |
| Avg. Supply Current | 5–10 µA (AH182) - enables multi-year operation in coin-cell–powered cover detectors. |
| Operate Point (Bop) | 40–60 Gauss (south pole) - sets mechanical air-gap tolerance of ~1.5–2.5 mm with standard ferrite magnets. |
| Output Type | Open-drain NMOS - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail (e.g., 1.8 V, 3.3 V, or 5 V) and wired-OR interfacing. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for consumer handhelds and industrial control panels without derating. |
| Package | SC59 (SOT-23) - 2.9 × 1.3 × 1.0 mm footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated SMT assembly. |
| RoHS Status | Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free "Green" - meets EU RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC JS709C requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SC59 (SOT-23) package: 2.90–3.10 mm length, 1.00–1.30 mm width, 1.00–1.45 mm height; thermally optimized for 230 mW dissipation at 25°C ambient.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vdd | Power supply input | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; internal regulator supplies bias to Hall sensor and logic - no external decoupling required beyond 10–100 nF. |
| GND | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for Hall plate, amplifier, and output stage - must be connected before Vdd during power-up. |
| Output | Open-drain digital output | Sinks up to 10 mA; pulled low when B ≥ Bop; floats when B ≤ Brp - requires external pull-up resistor (10–100 kΩ). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower operation | 5–10 µA avg. current enables >5-year battery life in lid-open/close detection circuits using CR2032 cells. |
| Offset-canceling technology | Chopper stabilization eliminates thermal drift and process variation - maintains ±10% Bop consistency over temperature and lifetime. |
| Polarity-specific activation | South-pole-only turn-on in SC59 orientation prevents false triggers from stray north-pole fields in stacked PCB assemblies. |
| Stress-insensitive design | Monolithic construction minimizes sensitivity to PCB warpage or encapsulation-induced mechanical stress - critical for thin mobile form factors. |
Applications
| Cover Detection | Speed Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting flip-phone lid open/closed state or tablet keyboard dock engagement. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital proximity switch providing clean, debounced logic-level signal to baseband processor GPIO.

Use Value: Enables low-power "fold-aware" UI transitions without continuous IMU polling or battery drain. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3320EUA-7 | Unipolar, 3–24 V supply, 3.5 mA IDD, SC59 package | Requires stronger magnet (Bop = 120–200 Gauss); higher power limits use in always-on systems | Select when wider voltage range or higher noise immunity is needed; not suitable for sub-10 µA battery budgets. |
| US1881EUA-7 | Bipolar, 3–24 V, 3.5 mA IDD, same SC59 footprint | Activates on both poles (south-on and north-on); lacks polarity selectivity | Choose where bidirectional actuation is acceptable and lower cost is prioritized over magnetic orientation control. |
Compared with AL3320EUA-7 and US1881EUA-7, AH182-WG-7 uniquely delivers sub-10 µA average current with south-pole-only activation in SC59 - making it optimal for space-constrained, long-life cover detection where polarity discrimination prevents misoperation.

FAQ
What magnetic polarity activates AH182-WG-7?
AH182-WG-7 activates only when a south pole of sufficient strength approaches the branded side of the SC59 package. This polarity specificity prevents unintended triggering from nearby north-pole sources and enables reliable operation in multi-sensor layouts where field direction matters.
Can AH182-WG-7 operate directly from a 1.8 V rail?
No - AH182-WG-7 requires a minimum 2.5 V supply to guarantee specified performance including Bop, timing, and output drive. Below 2.5 V, functionality is not characterized and may fail to activate or exhibit increased hysteresis uncertainty.
Is AH182-WG-7 pin-compatible with AH183-WG-7?
Yes - both share identical SC59 pinout (Vdd, GND, Output), same footprint, and identical marking orientation. However, AH183 draws 280–500 µA average current and has longer period (200–400 ms), making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement where micropower operation is required.
Does AH182-WG-7 require an external capacitor?
A 10–100 nF ceramic capacitor between Vdd and GND is recommended per the datasheet to stabilize supply during magnetic transitions and improve noise immunity - especially in electrically noisy environments like motor-driven enclosures or RF-rich handheld devices.
