Product details
Overview
AH183-WL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, bipolar-operated Hall effect switch in SC59 (SOT23) package, designed for battery-powered portable electronics. It features 2.5–5.5V operation, 280–500 µA average supply current, magnetic operate point of 40–60 Gauss (south pole activation), and open-drain output with 0.1–0.3V on-state voltage at 1mA - deployed in clamshell cover detection and speed sensing.
For engineers reviewing the AH183-WL-7 datasheet, AH183-WL-7 pinout, AH183-WL-7 application, or AH183-WL-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic polarity sensitivity (SC59 activates on north pole), ultra-low power consumption versus AH182, thermal stability across –40°C to +85°C, and RoHS-compliant "Green" packaging.
Technical Context
The AH183-WL-7 integrates a Hall plate, chopper-stabilized amplifier, offset-canceling circuitry, and CMOS output driver in a single die. Its bipolar latching behavior requires opposite magnetic poles for turn-on (north for SC59) and turn-off, with hysteresis of ≥10 Gauss to prevent chatter near switching thresholds.
It operates in a pulsed duty cycle mode: typical period is 200–400 ms with ~25% DC duty cycle, enabling low average current draw. The device uses internal regulation to maintain stable performance across 2.5–5.5V supply and exhibits <0.1 µA leakage current when inactive.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.5–5.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion and dual-cell alkaline battery systems without external regulation. |
| Avg. Supply Current | 280–500 µA - enables multi-year operation in low-duty-cycle cover-detect applications. |
| Magnetic Bop (SC59) | 40–60 Gauss (north pole) - ensures reliable actuation with small, low-cost magnets at air gaps up to 3 mm. |
| Output Type | Open-drain CMOS - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail (e.g., 1.8V/3.3V/5V) and wired-OR interfacing. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - validated for consumer handhelds and industrial enclosures without derating. |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | ≥10 Gauss - prevents false toggling due to mechanical vibration or magnetic noise near threshold. |
| Output On-Voltage | ≤0.3V @ 1mA - guarantees solid logic-low level into standard CMOS/TTL inputs with margin. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC59 (standard SOT23-3 footprint, 2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, lead-free, halogen-free "Green" molding compound).
| 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 - no external decoupling required beyond 10–100nF. |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for Hall plate, amplifier, and output driver - must be low-impedance to minimize magnetic offset drift. |
| 3 (Output) | Open-drain output | Sinks up to 10mA; requires external pull-up; active-low signal asserts when magnetic field exceeds Bop (north pole for SC59). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower pulsed operation | 25% duty cycle with 200–400 ms period reduces average current to sub-milliwatt level for battery longevity. |
| Offset-canceling chopper architecture | Eliminates thermal and process-induced drift - maintains consistent Bop/Brp across temperature and lifetime. |
| Bipolar magnetic sensitivity (SC59) | North-pole activation enables use with magnet orientation that avoids interference from nearby ferrous components. |
| Robust ESD & stress immunity | Qualified to >4kV HBM ESD and insensitive to PCB bending or thermal cycling - suitable for high-volume assembly. |
| "Green" RoHS-compliant packaging | Lead-free, halogen-free, antimony-free SC59 package meets EU RoHS 3 and JEDEC MSL-1 standards. |
Applications
| Clamshell Cover Detection | Rotary Speed Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detect open/closed state of flip phone or tablet lid using embedded magnet and PCB-mounted sensor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Hall switch provides digital presence signal to system MCU; wake-up interrupt source with <100 µs response time. Use Value: 280–500 µA avg. current extends battery life vs. always-on solutions; north-pole activation simplifies magnet placement on hinge side. |
Use Scenario: Measure rotation speed of small DC motor or fan shaft via magnet-embedded rotor and fixed sensor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Edge-triggered magnetic pulse generator feeding timer/counter peripheral; 200–400 ms period sets minimum measurable RPM.

| Home Appliance Safety Interlock | Industrial Panel Door Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Confirm closure of microwave oven or washing machine door before enabling high-power subsystems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fail-safe position sensor with redundant mechanical linkage; output drives enable logic or safety relay driver. Use Value: –40°C to +85°C rating covers ambient extremes; <0.1 µA leakage ensures zero standby drain during long idle periods. |
Use Scenario: Monitor access door status on programmable logic controller (PLC) enclosure or HMI panel.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL33030-27D | Unipolar, 3.0–24V supply, 1.5mA avg. current, TO-92 package | Higher power, wider voltage range, but lacks micropower optimization for battery use | Select when interfacing with 12/24V industrial controls and where battery life is not critical |
| DRV5013A2QLPGM | Bipolar, 2.7–38V, 2.7mA avg. current, 3-pin SOT-23, integrated protection | Higher drive strength and fault reporting, but 5.4× higher current than AH183 | Choose for automotive-grade robustness and diagnostic capability where power budget allows |
Compared with AL33030-27D and DRV5013A2QLPGM, AH183-WL-7 delivers the lowest quiescent power in SC59 format for consumer portables, trading off wide-voltage flexibility and diagnostics for multi-year battery operation in space-constrained designs.

FAQ
What magnetic polarity activates the AH183-WL-7 in SC59 package?
The AH183-WL-7 in SC59 package activates (output goes low) when exposed to a sufficiently strong north pole - unlike the SIP-3L variant, which responds to south pole. This polarity assignment is fixed per package type and cannot be reversed by configuration.
Can AH183-WL-7 replace AH182-WL-7 in an existing design?
No direct replacement: AH183 draws 280–500 µA average current versus AH182's 5–10 µA, resulting in ~50× higher power consumption. Swapping requires re-evaluation of battery life, thermal budget, and wake-up timing - AH182 remains preferred for multi-year coin-cell applications.
Is AH183-WL-7 qualified for automotive applications?
No - AH183-WL-7 is not AEC-Q100 qualified and is specified only for commercial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Diodes offers separate AEC-Q100-qualified Hall switches (e.g., AH336x series) for automotive use cases requiring PPAP and IATF 16949 compliance.
What is the recommended pull-up resistor value for the open-drain output?
Diodes recommends a 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ pull-up resistor, with 50 kΩ cited in the test circuit. Lower values improve rise time and noise immunity but increase static current; higher values reduce power but risk marginal timing margins with fast MCU inputs.
