Product details
Overview
AH3325Q-SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified automotive Hall-effect unipolar switch IC in SOT23 (Type S) package, designed for contactless position sensing in harsh environments. It operates from 3.0V to 28V supply, features 100G typical operate point (BOP), 80G typical release point (BRP), 20G hysteresis, and delivers open-drain output with 60mA current limit-used in seatbelt buckle detection and gear position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the AH3325Q-SA-7 datasheet, AH3325Q-SA-7 pinout, AH3325Q-SA-7 application, or AH3325Q-SA-7 equivalent, this page provides verified magnetic thresholds, thermal derating curves, chopper-stabilized architecture details, and polarity-specific mounting guidance for SOT23 (Type S) packages requiring south pole to the part marking side.
Technical Context
The AH3325Q-SA-7 implements a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor with dynamic offset cancellation and internal bandgap-regulated supply, enabling stable switching across −40°C to +150°C ambient. Its magnetic response is defined by BOP = 100G (typ) and BRP = 80G (typ), yielding 20G hysteresis to prevent chatter near threshold.
It integrates reverse-blocking diode, zener clamps on VDD and OUTPUT pins, and overcurrent-limited open-drain output. Startup time is 10µs typical after VDD reaches 3V, and chopping frequency is 500kHz-critical for EMI resilience in automotive power domains.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BOP (Operate Point) | 80–120G (typ 100G); defines minimum south-pole field strength required to activate output |
| BRP (Release Point) | 60–100G (typ 80G); defines maximum residual field before output deactivates |
| VDD Range | 3.0V–28V; supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including load dump transients |
| Output Type | Open-drain with 60mA current limit; enables flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤32V |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +150°C; validated for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive modules |
| ESD Robustness | HBM 8kV / CDM 1kV; meets AEC-Q100 stress requirements for assembly and field operation |
| Startup Time | 10µs typical; ensures fast system readiness after power-on in safety-critical functions |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (Type S) package: 3-pin surface-mount, 2.9mm × 2.4mm footprint, 1.0mm max height, with part marking on top surface. South-pole magnetic activation requires orientation toward marked side.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Power input with integrated reverse-blocking diode and 40V transient clamp |
| 2 | GND | Reference ground for internal regulator and Hall sensor biasing |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Open-drain output with zener clamp (32V max), 60mA current limit, and <0.4V saturation at 20mA |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3325QSA-7 | Same BOP/BRP specs but uses different die revision; identical pinout and thermal performance | No functional difference; qualified for same AEC-Q100 Grade 0 applications | Select when AL3325QSA-7 is preferred in existing BOMs or dual-sourced designs |
| TLE4913-2XUMA1 | Higher BOP (120–160G typ), no integrated reverse-blocking diode, requires external TVS for load dump | Requires additional protection circuitry; better suited for high-field industrial encoders than automotive proximity | Choose only if higher magnetic sensitivity is needed and board space allows external protection components |
Compared with AL3325QSA-7, AH3325Q-SA-7 offers identical magnetic and electrical behavior but distinct traceability and qualification documentation; versus TLE4913-2XUMA1, it reduces system-level component count via integrated protection-critical for cost-sensitive automotive modules.

FAQ
What magnetic polarity activates the AH3325Q-SA-7 in SOT23 (Type S) package?
The AH3325Q-SA-7 in SOT23 (Type S) package requires a south pole applied to the part marking side to activate. This is confirmed in the datasheet's magnetic characteristics table and pin diagram-reversing polarity will prevent switching. Mounting must orient the marked surface toward the magnet's south pole.
Does AH3325Q-SA-7 require an external capacitor on VDD?
Yes, a 10nF–100nF ceramic decoupling capacitor is recommended between VDD and GND per the Typical Applications Circuit. It stabilizes the internal bandgap regulator and improves noise immunity-especially critical in automotive environments with high EMI from motors and ignition systems.
Can AH3325Q-SA-7 be used in 48V mild-hybrid systems?
No-AH3325Q-SA-7 has a 40V absolute maximum VDD rating for transient stress only, not continuous operation. Its recommended operating range remains 3.0V–28V. For 48V systems, a level-shifting interface or higher-voltage Hall switch such as AH3370Q is required.
How does the chopper stabilization affect temperature drift of switching points?
Chopper stabilization reduces BOP and BRP drift to ±5G over −40°C to +150°C, versus >±20G for non-chopped Hall switches. This is achieved via dynamic offset cancellation and 500kHz modulation, ensuring consistent hysteresis and reliable operation in engine bay or HVAC actuator environments.
