Product details
Overview
AH3325Q-P-B from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified automotive Hall-effect unipolar switch IC designed for proximity sensing in seatbelt buckles and gear position detection. It operates from 3.0V to 28V, features open-drain output with 60mA current limit, delivers BOP of 80–120G and BRP of 60–100G (SIP-3 package), and functions across –40°C to +150°C ambient.
For engineers reviewing the AH3325Q-P-B datasheet, AH3325Q-P-B pinout, AH3325Q-P-B application, or AH3325Q-P-B equivalent, this device supports robust magnetic sensing in high-voltage automotive subsystems where supply resilience, thermal stability, and ESD immunity (8kV HBM) are critical selection criteria.
Technical Context
The AH3325Q-P-B uses chopper-stabilized architecture with dynamic offset cancellation to suppress thermal drift and mechanical stress effects on switching thresholds. Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog blocks, enabling stable operation over full automotive temperature range.
It implements unipolar South-pole activation logic with programmable hysteresis (15–31G), reverse-blocking diode, zener clamps on VDD and OUTPUT pins, and load-dump protection up to 40V transient-critical for 12V/24V vehicle electrical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BOP (Typ) | 100 G - Magnetic operate point ensures reliable turn-on with standard automotive magnets at typical air gaps |
| BRP (Typ) | 80 G - Release point provides 20G hysteresis margin to prevent chatter near threshold |
| VDD Range | 3.0V to 28V - Supports direct connection to battery rail without external regulation in 12V/24V architectures |
| Output Type | Open-drain - Enables wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up voltage selection (up to 32V) |
| tP_ON | 10 µs - Fast power-on startup enables real-time sensing in safety-critical actuation loops |
| IOCL | 30–55 mA - Internal current limiting protects output stage during short-circuit or capacitive load transients |
| ESD HBM | 8 kV - Meets stringent automotive ESD requirements for assembly and field reliability |
| TA Range | –40°C to +150°C - Validated for under-hood and cabin-mounted applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 |
Pinout & Package
Package: SIP-3 (Bulk Pack), 3-pin straight-lead surface-mount package with 2.54 mm pitch, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Power input with integrated reverse-blocking diode and 40V transient clamp-accepts direct battery connection |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal regulator and output stage; requires low-impedance PCB return path |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Open-drain N-channel MOSFET output with 60mA continuous rating, zener-clamped to 32V, and active current limiting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper stabilization | Reduces thermal drift of BOP/BRP to <±0.5G/°C and eliminates mechanical stress-induced offset errors |
| 40V load dump protection | Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a transients without external TVS, reducing BOM count in body control modules |
| South-pole activation (marking side) | Enables consistent magnetic orientation mounting in SIP-3 packages-no polarity ambiguity during assembly |
| 8kV HBM ESD rating | Eliminates need for external ESD protection in door/trunk closure sensors exposed to human contact |
| Bandgap-regulated internal supply | Stabilizes comparator and amplifier bias across VDD variation and temperature, ensuring ±3% BOP tolerance over full range |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3325Q-P-B | Same BOP/BRP specs but lower ESD rating (4kV HBM) and no AEC-Q100 qualification | Restricted to non-safety-critical consumer or industrial use; not PPAP-capable | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where qualification and robustness are secondary |
| TLE4913-2SA | Higher BOP (120–160G), 5V-only supply, integrated pull-up, no load-dump protection | Requires external 5V regulator and TVS; suitable for low-voltage submodules only | Choose when system already provides regulated 5V and needs higher sensitivity in compact layouts |
Compared with AL3325Q-P-B and TLE4913-2SA, AH3325Q-P-B uniquely combines wide 3–28V operation, 40V load-dump tolerance, AEC-Q100 Grade 0, and 8kV ESD-making it the only drop-in solution for direct-battery automotive proximity sensing without auxiliary protection or regulation.

FAQ
What magnetic pole activates the AH3325Q-P-B in SIP-3 package?
The AH3325Q-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 (page 4 of DS46150 Rev. 2–2), which specifies "South pole to the part marking side" for SIP-3 packages. Polarity orientation is physically encoded in package design and must be verified during mechanical integration.
Does AH3325Q-P-B require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes-AH3325Q-P-B has an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor (RL) between OUTPUT and VDD or another logic-rail voltage. The datasheet recommends RL = 1kΩ for timing validation and notes that rise time depends on RL and load capacitance; values from 1kΩ to 10kΩ are commonly used in automotive designs.
Can AH3325Q-P-B operate directly from a 24V truck battery?
Yes-AH3325Q-P-B is rated for continuous operation from 3.0V to 28V and withstands 40V load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2. It is validated for 24V commercial vehicle applications including transmission actuators and HVAC compressors, with no external regulation required under nominal or surge conditions.
Is AH3325Q-P-B pin-compatible with other AH332XQ variants?
Yes-all AH332XQ variants (e.g., AH3322Q–AH3329Q, AH3320Q–AH3321Q) share identical SIP-3, SOT23 (Type S), SC59, and SIP-3 packaging options and 3-pin pinout (VDD-GND-OUTPUT). Only magnetic thresholds differ; electrical interface, timing, protection, and thermal behavior are identical across the family.
