Product details
Overview
AH1885-ZG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower, ultra-sensitive Hall effect switch with dual CMOS outputs and two integrated Hall plates, designed for battery-powered handheld devices. It operates from 1.65V to 3.3V, consumes only 7–12 µA average supply current at 1.8V, and features ±37 G operate point (Bop), 8 G hysteresis, and active-low Out1 / active-high Out2 complementary outputs. Used in cellular phones for flip-cover detection.
For engineers reviewing the AH1885-ZG-7 datasheet, AH1885-ZG-7 pinout, AH1885-ZG-7 application, or AH1885-ZG-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified magnetic thresholds, dual-output timing behavior, SOT553 package layout, and RoHS-compliant green packaging details essential for low-power sensor integration.
Technical Context
The AH1885-ZG-7 implements chopper-stabilized Hall sensing with offset cancellation across both Hall plates, enabling stable operation over −40°C to +85°C with <±0.1 G/°C switch-point drift. Its dual-output architecture provides simultaneous active-low (Out1) and active-high (Out2) signals-complementary by design-eliminating external inverters in position-sensing logic.
Internal power switching and latch control ensure magnetic state retention until flux density crosses release point (Brp), delivering clean hysteresis of 3–8 G. RF noise immunity and ESD robustness (>4 kV HBM) support reliable operation in noisy portable electronics environments without additional filtering.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH1885-ZG-7 activation?
The AH1885-ZG-7 activates with either north or south pole magnetic fields applied to the branded side of the package. Its dual-Hall-plate architecture enables bipolar operation - no magnet orientation constraints - making it ideal for mechanically unconstrained flip-cover or slide mechanisms where magnet placement varies.
How does the complementary output configuration improve system design?
The AH1885-ZG-7 provides simultaneous Out1 (active-low) and Out2 (active-high) signals, eliminating the need for external inverters or logic gates. This reduces component count, PCB area, and signal propagation delay - especially valuable in space-constrained handheld devices where routing flexibility is limited and timing predictability matters.
Can AH1885-ZG-7 operate reliably at 1.65 V supply?
Yes - the AH1885-ZG-7 is fully specified down to 1.65 V, with tested performance including 7–12 µA average supply current, ±18 G minimum operate point, and functional hysteresis. It maintains stable switching behavior across the full −40°C to +85°C range at this minimum voltage, supporting single-cell lithium primary or rechargeable battery systems.
Is the NC pin (Pin 3) required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 3 is a true no-connect terminal - internally unconnected and electrically isolated. Diodes Incorporated's recommended land pattern shows it as optional; it may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability, but must never be connected to Vdd or any active signal. No electrical function is affected either way.
