Product details
Overview
AH1899A-FS4-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an ultra-low-voltage, high-sensitivity micropower omnipolar Hall-effect switch IC in X2-DFN1010-4 (Type B) package, operating from 1.1V to 2.0V supply, consuming only 0.95µA avg at 1.2V, with BOP of ±6–30 Gauss and BRP of ±2–24 Gauss, used for cover/open detection in cellular phones and portable PCs.
For engineers reviewing the AH1899A-FS4-7 datasheet, AH1899A-FS4-7 pinout, AH1899A-FS4-7 application, or AH1899A-FS4-7 equivalent, key selection factors include micropower sleep current (0.29–0.7µA), hibernating clock architecture, omnipolar magnetic response, internal pullup/pulldown capability, and operation down to 1.1V for battery-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AH1899A employs chopper-stabilized Hall sensing with offset cancellation and a sleep/awake logic controller that cycles at ~22 Hz (tperiod = 45–90 ms), reducing average current while maintaining reliable magnetic detection. Its hibernating clock system enables ultra-low IDD(avg) without sacrificing BOP/BRP repeatability.
It delivers true omnipolar switching-activating on either North or South pole exposure-with hysteresis (BHY = 6 Gauss typ) ensuring noise-immune state retention. The output is open-drain, internally pulled low when active (VOL ≤ 0.2 V @ 0.5 mA), and floats high when inactive (VOH ≥ VDD − 0.2 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 1.1 V to 2.0 V - supports single-cell Li-ion/Li-poly and coin-cell systems without regulation |
| Avg Supply Current | 0.95 µA @ 1.2 V - enables multi-year battery life in always-on cover-detect applications |
| Operate Point (BOP) | ±6 to ±30 Gauss - detects weak magnetic fields from small magnets in thin bezels |
| Release Point (BRP) | ±2 to ±24 Gauss - provides 6 Gauss typical hysteresis for bounce-free switching |
| Output Type | Open-drain with internal pulldown - eliminates need for external resistor, saves PCB area |
| Awake Time | 45–90 µs - ensures fast response after wake event without compromising sleep efficiency |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for consumer portable and industrial edge devices |
Pinout & Package
Package: X2-DFN1010-4 (Type B), 1.0 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.39 mm, lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 1.1–2.0 V; internal LDO not present - requires stable low-noise source or 10–100 nF bypass capacitor |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for Hall sensor, logic, and output driver; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| 3 - NC | No connection | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability |
| 4 - OUTPUT | Open-drain output | Pulled low when magnetic field exceeds BOP; floats high otherwise - compatible with 1.2–2.0 V host logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnipolar magnetic activation | Detects either North or South pole - simplifies magnet placement and orientation in clamshell designs |
| Chopper-stabilized Hall plate | Reduces temperature drift of BOP/BRP to < ±0.5 Gauss/°C - maintains consistent switching across −40°C to +85°C |
| Hibernating clock architecture | Enables 0.29–0.7 µA sleep current - extends battery life beyond 5 years in typical cover-switch usage |
| Integrated pulldown resistor | Eliminates external pullup/pulldown components - reduces BOM count and PCB footprint by >0.5 mm² |
| RF noise immunity | Validated against common cellular band interference - prevents false triggers during GSM/UMTS/LTE transmission |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar omnipolar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL33100A-30DQ4 | Higher supply range (1.65–5.5 V); 1.8 µA avg current at 1.8 V; BOP = ±10 Gauss min | Requires ≥1.65 V - unsuitable for sub-1.6 V coin-cell or deep-discharge Li-ion systems | Select if system voltage ≥1.65 V and higher magnetic sensitivity margin is needed |
| TLE4913 | Automotive-grade AEC-Q100 qualified; 3.3–5.5 V operation; 3.5 mA supply current | Not micropower - incompatible with battery-life-critical portable applications | Select only for automotive interior sensing where qualification and higher voltage are mandatory |
Compared with AL33100A-30DQ4 and TLE4913, the AH1899A-FS4-7 uniquely enables sub-1.2 V operation and sub-1 µA average current - making it the only viable choice for multi-year battery life in compact, low-voltage portable devices.

FAQ
What is the minimum operating voltage for AH1899A-FS4-7?
The AH1899A-FS4-7 operates down to 1.1 V per its Recommended Operating Conditions. Below this, magnetic response becomes unreliable and output behavior is undefined. It is validated for stable switching at 1.1 V with BOP/BRP within spec, enabling direct use with partially discharged lithium coin cells or single-cell Li-ion batteries.
Does AH1899A-FS4-7 require an external pull-up resistor?
No. The AH1899A-FS4-7 integrates internal pulldown circuitry and does not require an external pull-up resistor. Its open-drain output pulls low when active and floats high when inactive, allowing direct interface with 1.2–2.0 V logic inputs without additional components.
How does the hibernating clock affect response time?
The hibernating clock wakes the device every 45–90 ms (tperiod), with each awake period lasting 45–90 µs (tawake). Magnetic events occurring between wake cycles are not detected until the next sample window - resulting in maximum latency of one full period (~90 ms), which is acceptable for cover/holster detection but not for high-speed rotation sensing.
Is AH1899A-FS4-7 suitable for automotive applications?
No. The AH1899A-FS4-7 is specified for −40°C to +85°C operation and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Diodes offers automotive-grade alternatives (e.g., AH189x-Q series) with PPAP support, IATF 16949 manufacturing, and extended temperature validation - required for under-hood or cabin-mounted automotive sensors.
