Product details
Overview
AH1889-Z-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-sensitivity dual-output unipolar Hall-effect switch IC in SOT553 package, detecting independent North (OUTPUT2) and South (OUTPUT1) magnetic poles with active-low outputs, 1.65V–3.6V supply range, ±35 G typical operate points, and -40°C to +85°C operation-used in lid/door position sensing for home appliances.
For engineers reviewing the AH1889-Z-7 datasheet, AH1889-Z-7 pinout, AH1889-Z-7 application, or AH1889-Z-7 equivalent, key selection factors include bipolar pole discrimination capability, internal pull-up/pull-down termination, chopper-stabilized temperature stability, and low-voltage operation down to 1.65V in space-constrained consumer and industrial proximity detection.
Technical Context
The AH1889 integrates two monolithic unipolar Hall sensors with independent output paths: OUTPUT1 activates on sufficient South-pole flux (>35 G typ), OUTPUT2 on North-pole flux (<−35 G typ), both with 8 G typical hysteresis and active-low switching. Each output features internal pull-down (for OUTPUT1/2 sink) and pull-up (for high-state retention).
Chopper stabilization cancels offset drift across temperature, delivering <±0.1 G/°C operate point drift and stable switching thresholds from −40°C to +85°C. No sleep mode enables continuous real-time detection with sub-10 µs response time at 1.8V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 1.65V to 3.6V - supports battery-powered and low-voltage logic interfaces without level-shifting. |
| OUTPUT1 Bop (South) | 35 G typ - triggers reliable lid-open detection with common ferrite magnets at ≥2 mm air gap. |
| OUTPUT2 Bop (North) | −35 G typ - enables directional field discrimination using magnet orientation, not polarity reversal. |
| Hysteresis (Bhy) | 8 G typ - prevents chatter during slow magnetic transitions near threshold, critical for mechanical switch replacement. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for indoor appliance and industrial control environments without derating. |
| ESD HBM | >4 kV - withstands handling and assembly ESD events without external protection diodes. |
| Output Type | Active-low open-drain with internal pull-up/pull-down - eliminates external resistors, reducing BOM count and PCB area. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT553 - 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.6 mm low-profile surface-mount package with 0.5 mm pin pitch, optimized for compact consumer electronics layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUTPUT2 | Active-low North-pole detection output; sinks current when B < −35 G (typ), pulled high otherwise. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for Hall sensor bias and output stage; must be low-impedance for noise immunity. |
| 3 | NC | No internal connection; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability or thermal relief. |
| 4 | VDD | Power input (1.65–3.6 V); requires 100 nF bypass capacitor per datasheet for RF noise suppression. |
| 5 | OUTPUT1 | Active-low South-pole detection output; sinks current when B > +35 G (typ), pulled high otherwise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent unipolar sensing | Separate OUTPUT1 (South-only) and OUTPUT2 (North-only) enable bidirectional magnetic event detection in one IC. |
| Chopper-stabilized architecture | Reduces temperature-induced offset drift to <±0.1 G/°C, ensuring consistent switch points across operating range. |
| Integrated pull-up/pull-down | Eliminates four external resistors, saving 1.2 mm² PCB area and simplifying layout for SOT553 footprint. |
| RF noise immunity | Validated performance in presence of GSM/ISM-band interference without added shielding or filtering. |
| Lead-free & green compliance | Fully RoHS 2 compliant with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb - meets global environmental regulations for consumer goods. |
Applications
| Home Appliance Lid Detection | Office Equipment Tray Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Detecting open/closed state of washing machine detergent drawer or microwave oven door. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-output Hall switch providing independent signals for "lid open" (OUTPUT1) and "lid closed" (OUTPUT2) states via magnet orientation. Use Value: Replaces mechanical microswitches with zero-contact wear, >10M cycle lifetime, and immunity to dust/moisture ingress. | Use Scenario: Monitoring paper tray insertion/removal in laser printers and multifunction copiers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OUTPUT1 asserts when South-pole magnet on tray approaches; OUTPUT2 remains inactive unless inverted magnet is used. Use Value: Enables tray presence verification without moving parts, reducing service calls due to mechanical failure by >70%. |
| Industrial Panel Door Monitoring | Magnetic Field Direction Identification |
Use Scenario: Verifying access panel closure on HVAC control cabinets or PLC enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OUTPUT2 activates only when North-pole magnet aligns with marked side-prevents false triggers from stray fields. Use Value: Provides tamper-evident status with directional sensitivity, supporting IP65-rated sealed designs. | Use Scenario: Determining rotational direction of a shaft-mounted dual-pole magnet in small motors or encoders. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Simultaneous sampling of OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2 yields quadrature-like edge sequence for direction decoding. Use Value: Delivers coarse direction sensing without quadrature decoder IC or additional Hall elements-reducing component count by 2×. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-output unipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL33031A-13 | Single-output unipolar switch; no North-pole detection path; 2.7–24 V supply range. | Lacks directional discrimination; suitable only for single-state proximity, not bidirectional sensing. | Select when only South-pole detection is required and higher supply voltage tolerance is needed. |
| US1881EUA-AM | Dual-output but latching (not unipolar); requires alternating North/South to toggle outputs; 3–24 V supply. | Provides memory function (state retention), unsuitable for momentary position detection without external logic. | Choose for push-button-style toggling where power cycling must preserve last state. |
Compared with AL33031A-13 and US1881EUA-AM, AH1889-Z-7 uniquely delivers simultaneous, independent North/South pole detection at ultra-low voltage (1.65 V), enabling true bidirectional sensing in space- and power-constrained applications where alternatives require redesign or compromise.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for guaranteed operation of AH1889-Z-7?
The AH1889-Z-7 requires a minimum supply voltage of 1.65 V for guaranteed functional operation across its full temperature range. Below this, output switching behavior is not specified; operation at 1.8 V is recommended for robust margin against ripple and dropout in battery-powered systems.
Can OUTPUT1 and OUTPUT2 be used simultaneously to detect magnet polarity and direction?
Yes-OUTPUT1 activates only with sufficient South-pole flux perpendicular to the marking side, while OUTPUT2 activates only with North-pole flux. Their independent activation enables unambiguous polarity identification and directional sensing without external logic or timing constraints.
Is an external bypass capacitor required for stable operation?
Yes-a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between VDD and GND is mandatory per the datasheet to suppress RF noise and stabilize supply during output transitions. Placement within 2 mm of pins 4 and 2 is required to maintain specified noise immunity and response time.
What does the "Z-7" suffix indicate in AH1889-Z-7?
The "Z" denotes SOT553 packaging, and "-7" specifies 7-inch tape-and-reel packaging containing 3,000 units. The part marking code "KX" appears on the top surface of each device, confirming authenticity and package type per Diodes' ordering information table.
