Product details
Overview
AH3321Q-P-B from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified automotive Hall-effect unipolar switch IC in SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package, operating from 3.0V to 28V supply, with BOP = 235–300 G and BRP = 210–275 G, delivering open-drain switching for seatbelt buckle detection and door/trunk closure sensing under harsh under-hood conditions.
For engineers reviewing the AH3321Q-P-B datasheet, AH3321Q-P-B pinout, AH3321Q-P-B application, or AH3321Q-P-B equivalent, this device supports high-voltage automotive proximity sensing where magnetic hysteresis ≥17 G, load dump tolerance up to 40 V, and operation across −40°C to +150°C ambient are required.
Technical Context
The AH3321Q-P-B uses chopper-stabilized architecture with dynamic offset cancellation to suppress thermal drift and mechanical stress effects, enabling stable magnetic switching thresholds over temperature. Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog blocks, ensuring consistent BOP/BRP performance across −40°C to +150°C.
It features a single open-drain output with 30–55 mA current limiting and zener clamps on both VDD and OUTPUT pins, plus reverse-blocking diode protection. Magnetic actuation requires South pole applied to the part marking side for SIP-3 packages, with hysteresis of 17–36 G to prevent chatter near threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BOP (Operate Point) | 235–300 G - triggers output low when South pole exceeds this flux density at marking side |
| BRP (Release Point) | 210–275 G - releases output high only after flux drops below this level, ensuring noise immunity |
| VDD Range | 3.0–28 V - supports direct battery connection in 12 V/24 V automotive systems |
| Load Dump Rating | 40 V transient - withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a without external protection |
| Output Type | Open-drain - enables wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for engine bay and transmission control module placement |
| ESD Robustness | HBM 8 kV / CDM 1 kV - meets stringent automotive ESD requirements for assembly and field use |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package: 3-pin straight-lead, surface-mount package with 2.54 mm pitch, optimized for automated insertion and high-reliability automotive harness interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3321Q-P-B | Same BOP/BRP specs and SIP-3 package; identical pinout and electrical behavior | No functional difference; alternate manufacturer marking per Diodes' dual-sourcing policy | Select when AL3321Q-P-B is preferred for supply chain diversification without design change |
| TLE4913-2XUMA1 | Higher BOP (300–400 G), no built-in zener clamp on VDD, requires external TVS for 40 V load dump | Designed for higher-field industrial encoders; lacks AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Use only if system-level protection is already implemented and Grade 0 qualification is not mandatory |
Compared with AL3321Q-P-B, AH3321Q-P-B offers identical performance and qualification but distinct traceability; versus TLE4913-2XUMA1, it provides integrated 40 V load dump protection and guaranteed Grade 0 operation-critical for OEM-compliant automotive modules.

FAQ
What magnetic polarity activates the AH3321Q-P-B in SIP-3 package?
The AH3321Q-P-B in SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) requires a South pole applied to the part marking side to activate. This is confirmed in the magnetic characteristics table and pin diagram for SIP-3 variants. Applying North pole or misorienting the magnet results in no switching action.
Does AH3321Q-P-B require an external pull-up resistor on the OUTPUT pin?
Yes - the OUTPUT pin is open-drain and must be pulled up externally. The datasheet recommends RL between 1 kΩ and 10 kΩ depending on rise time and bus voltage. Typical designs use 4.7 kΩ to 24 V or 10 kΩ to 3.3 V microcontroller I/O lines.
Can AH3321Q-P-B operate reliably at 28 V continuous supply?
Yes - 28 V is within its recommended operating range (3.0 V to 28 V). The absolute maximum VDD is 40 V (transient only), but sustained 28 V operation is fully characterized and supported across −40°C to +150°C ambient per the Recommended Operating Conditions table.
Is the SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) variant compatible with wave soldering processes?
Yes - the SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package is rated for standard lead-free wave soldering profiles per J-STD-020. Its straight-lead configuration and Pb-free/RoHS/Green compliance support automated through-hole assembly in automotive harness modules and body control units.
