Product details
Overview
AH183-WG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, bipolar-operated Hall-effect switch in SC59 (SOT23) package, designed for battery-powered handheld devices. It activates on north-pole magnetic field exposure, delivers 0.1V typical output-on voltage at 1mA load, consumes 280–500µA average supply current, and operates across –40°C to +85°C for cover detection and speed-sensing applications.
For engineers reviewing the AH183-WG-7 datasheet, AH183-WG-7 pinout, AH183-WG-7 application, or AH183-WG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic polarity response (north-activated), ultra-low quiescent power, SC59 thermal derating profile, and Bop/Brp hysteresis of 40–60G / 10–30G at 3V.
Technical Context
The AH183-WG-7 integrates a Hall plate, chopper-stabilized amplifier, offset-cancellation circuitry, and open-drain NMOS output driver. Its internal architecture enables stable switching despite mechanical stress and temperature drift, with hysteresis (Bhy ≥10G) preventing chatter near threshold.
It operates in a fixed duty-cycle mode (25% typical) with 200–400ms period and 50–100µs wake-up time. Magnetic sensitivity is calibrated for north-pole activation in SC59 orientation, differing from the south-pole activation of the SIP-3L variant AH182/AH183-PL-x.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5V–5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion or dual-cell alkaline battery systems without regulation. |
| Avg. Supply Current | 280–500µA - enables multi-year operation in low-duty-cycle cover-detect applications. |
| Output On Voltage | ≤0.3V @ 1mA - ensures strong logic-low assertion into standard CMOS inputs with minimal voltage drop. |
| Operation Point (Bop) | 40–60 Gauss (south pole not active; north pole triggers) - defines reliable turn-on threshold under real-world air-gap conditions. |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | ≥10 Gauss - prevents oscillation during slow magnetic field transitions near switching point. |
| Operating Temp. | –40°C to +85°C - validated for consumer portable equipment environments, not automotive-grade. |
| Power Dissipation | 230mW @ 25°C (SC59), derates linearly to 0mW at +150°C - constrains PCB copper area and thermal relief design. |
Pinout & Package
AH183-WG-7 is housed in SC59 package (JEDEC TO-236AB), identical to SOT-23 in footprint and lead pitch (1.9mm × 1.3mm × 1.0mm height). Pin 1 = Vdd, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = Open-drain Output - top-view orientation matches standard SOT-23 marking convention with brand-side identification "K3".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (Vdd) | Power Supply Input | Accepts 2.5–5.5V; internal regulator supplies bias to Hall sensor and logic; decoupling capacitor (10–100nF) required. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return path for Hall plate, amplifier, and output driver; must be low-impedance to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 (Output) | Open-Drain NMOS Output | Sinks up to 10mA; requires external pull-up (10–100kΩ); asserts logic-low when north pole exceeds Bop. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Operation | 280–500µA avg. current enables >2-year battery life in intermittent-sense applications like clamshell phone lids. |
| Offset-Canceling Technology | Chopper stabilization eliminates thermal and process-induced DC offsets, ensuring consistent Bop/Brp over temperature. |
| North-Pole Activation (SC59) | Configured for north-pole magnetic field response - simplifies mechanical assembly where magnet polarity is fixed by housing design. |
| Superior Temperature Stability | Bop drift <±10% over –40°C to +85°C - maintains reliable switching without recalibration in consumer ambient ranges. |
| Green Packaging | Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free SC59 package compliant with RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and JEDEC standards. |
Applications
| Clamshell Cover Detection | Rotary Speed Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detect open/closed state of flip-style mobile phone or tablet covers using embedded magnet and PCB-mounted sensor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hall-effect switch providing digital lid-status signal to baseband processor via GPIO interrupt. Use Value: 280–500µA avg. current extends standby battery life; north-pole activation aligns with common hinge-magnet orientation. |
Use Scenario: Measure rotational speed of small fans or motorized toys by counting gear-tooth or magnet-pass events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered magnetic event detector feeding pulse train to microcontroller timer input. Use Value: 50–100µs wake-up time supports ≥100Hz sampling; 10G hysteresis rejects vibration-induced false triggers. |
| Home Appliance Safety Interlock | Portable Medical Device Lid Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Confirm washing machine door or microwave oven cavity closure before enabling high-power operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe proximity switch interfaced with system controller to block hazardous function activation. Use Value: –40°C to +85°C rating covers appliance thermal environments; open-drain output allows wired-OR fault signaling. |
Use Scenario: Monitor battery compartment or diagnostic port cover on handheld glucose meters or pulse oximeters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power status indicator that wakes host MCU only upon cover removal for data upload or calibration. Use Value: 15µW total operating power (at 2.75V) minimizes impact on medical device battery budget. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL33030QRTT-7 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 2), 3.0–5.5V supply, 1.2mA avg. current, south-pole activation. | Qualified for under-hood automotive use; higher power draw limits battery-life suitability. | Select when AEC-Q100 compliance and extended temperature (–40°C to +125°C) are mandatory. |
| US1881EUA-AAA-0000 | Unipolar, 2.5–24V supply, 3.5mA avg. current, TO-92 package, no hysteresis spec. | Broader voltage range but lacks guaranteed hysteresis and micropower optimization. | Choose for industrial panel-mount designs where voltage flexibility outweighs battery runtime needs. |
Compared with AL33030QRTT-7 and US1881EUA-AAA-0000, AH183-WG-7 uniquely balances nanowatt-level average power, SC59 space efficiency, and north-pole magnetic response - making it optimal for compact, long-life consumer electronics where automotive qualification or wide-Vdd operation are unnecessary.

FAQ
Is AH183-WG-7 still in production?
No - AH183-WG-7 is officially obsolete per Diodes' DS31024 Rev. 10 (August 2022). Aetrix Electronics holds remaining authorized inventory and provides last-time-buy support, including full traceability and documentation. No new wafer starts are planned.
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH183-WG-7 activation?
AH183-WG-7 in SC59 package activates with a north pole applied to the branded (marking) side. This is confirmed in the datasheet's magnetic characteristics table and functional block diagram - opposite to the SIP-3L variant, which responds to south poles.
Can AH183-WG-7 drive an LED directly?
No - AH183-WG-7's open-drain output sinks only up to 10mA with ≤0.3V saturation voltage. Driving even a low-current LED (e.g., 2mA @ 1.8V) would require a series resistor and external Vdd; it is intended for logic-level interfacing, not direct load driving.
Does AH183-WG-7 require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - the output is open-drain NMOS. A pull-up resistor (10kΩ–100kΩ) between Vdd and Pin 3 is mandatory to establish a valid high-state voltage. Without it, the output floats and cannot assert a logic-high signal to downstream logic or microcontrollers.
