Product details
Overview
AH1888-FJG-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a micropower omni-polar Hall effect switch IC in U-DFN2020-3 package, designed for magnetic sensing in battery-powered portable electronics. It operates from 1.65V to 3.3V, consumes only 12.6µW at 1.8V, features active-low single output (Output 1), and switches reliably with either north or south magnetic pole exposure. Used in cellular phones and cordless handsets for contactless button detection.
For engineers reviewing the AH1888-FJG-7 datasheet, AH1888-FJG-7 pinout, AH1888-FJG-7 application, or AH1888-FJG-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 61–79 G operate point, -40°C to +85°C operating range, chopper-stabilized architecture for thermal stability, and dual-output variant compatibility (AH1888-FJRG-7).
Technical Context
The AH1888-FJG-7 integrates two Hall plates with chopper stabilization to cancel offset drift and enable stable switching across temperature. Its sleep/awake logic reduces average supply current to 7–12 µA while maintaining 50–100 µs wake-up latency.
It implements latched output behavior: Output 1 pulls low when B ≥ Bop (61–79 G), remains low until B ≤ Brp (35–53 G), and stays high with no field. The device uses internal pull-up on Vdd and requires no external components for basic operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.65V to 3.3V - supports single-cell Li-ion and coin-cell battery systems without regulation. |
| Power Consumption | 12.6µW at 1.8V - enables multi-year operation in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Operate Point (Bop) | 61–79 Gauss - detects weak magnets at >3 mm air gap in compact enclosures. |
| Release Point (Brp) | 35–53 Gauss - provides 3–8 G hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain (Output 1) - interfaces directly with CMOS logic or microcontroller GPIO with internal pull-up. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for consumer handheld and automotive cabin ambient environments. |
| ESD Rating | HBM >5kV - withstands handling and assembly without external protection diodes. |
Pinout & Package
U-DFN2020-3 (2.0mm × 2.0mm, 0.5mm pitch, 3-pin) with wettable flank capability. Pin 1 = Vdd, Pin 2 = Output 1, Pin 3 = GND. Exposed thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vdd | Power input | Supplies internal regulator and Hall sensor chain; must be decoupled with 100nF capacitor within 2mm. |
| Output 1 | Signal output | Open-drain, active-low output; sinks up to 0.5mA; requires external pull-up for logic-high state. |
| GND | Reference ground | Return path for Hall sensor bias and output driver; connects to PCB ground plane under exposed pad. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omni-polar magnetic sensitivity | Detects both north and south poles - eliminates magnet orientation constraints during mechanical integration. |
| Chopper-stabilized architecture | Reduces switch-point drift to <±0.5 G/°C - maintains consistent actuation across -40°C to +85°C. |
| Micropower sleep mode | 5–8 µA disable current - enables ultra-low-power wake-on-magnetic-event architectures. |
| Integrated output pull-up | Eliminates need for external resistor in most microcontroller interface configurations. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3320EUST-7 | Unipolar, 2.5–5.5V supply, 3.5µA typical IDD, SOT-23-3 | Requires dedicated north-pole magnet; lower power but narrower voltage range | Select when unipolar operation suffices and supply exceeds 2.5V. |
| TLE4913HTSA1 | Bipolar, 3–24V supply, 3.5mA IDD, PG-SSO-3 | Higher voltage/current; automotive-qualified; no micropower mode | Choose for 12V industrial or automotive systems where power budget is less constrained. |
Compared with AL3320EUST-7 and TLE4913HTSA1, the AH1888-FJG-7 uniquely balances omni-polarity, sub-15µW operation, and 1.65V minimum supply-making it optimal for space-constrained, coin-cell–powered consumer devices requiring field-agnostic actuation.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for AH1888-FJG-7 operation?
The AH1888-FJG-7 is omni-polar: it activates with either a north or south magnetic pole presented to the branded side of the package. No magnet orientation alignment is needed during mechanical integration, simplifying assembly and reducing field calibration steps in high-volume consumer device manufacturing.
Does AH1888-FJG-7 require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - Output 1 is an open-drain, active-low terminal and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 10kΩ to Vdd) to establish a defined logic-high state when inactive. The internal pull-up capability referenced in the datasheet applies only to internal bias networks, not the output driver stage.
Can AH1888-FJG-7 replace AH1888-ZG-7 in existing SOT553 designs?
No - AH1888-FJG-7 uses U-DFN2020-3 (2.0×2.0mm) while AH1888-ZG-7 uses SOT553 (1.7×1.2mm). Footprint, solder stencil, and thermal pad layout differ significantly. Migration requires PCB redesign and requalification per JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level MSL3.
What is the maximum recommended air gap between magnet and AH1888-FJG-7?
At 1.8V supply and 25°C, the device reliably switches with a neodymium N35 magnet (Br ≈ 1.17T) at up to 3.2mm air gap. Gap tolerance decreases with lower supply voltage or higher temperature; full characterization requires magnet strength verification per DS31565 Figure 7 and application-specific flux modeling.
