Product details
Overview
AH3326-P-A from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage, high-sensitivity Hall-effect unipolar switch IC designed for position and proximity sensing in industrial home appliances and personal care devices. It operates from 3.0V to 28V, features BOP = 65–135 G and BRP = 50–120 G (typical 100 G / 85 G), delivers open-drain output with 60 mA continuous current capability, and supports operation from −40°C to +125°C in SIP-3 (Ammo Pack) package.
For engineers reviewing the AH3326-P-A datasheet, AH3326-P-A pinout, AH3326-P-A application, or AH3326-P-A equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release thresholds, supply voltage range compatibility, open-drain drive strength, thermal derating in SIP-3 packaging, and polarity-dependent mounting orientation for South-pole actuation.
Technical Context
The AH3326-P-A uses chopper-stabilized architecture with dynamic offset cancellation to suppress temperature-induced drift and mechanical stress effects on switching points. Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog blocks, ensuring stable BOP/BRP across −40°C to +125°C.
Magnetic actuation requires South pole orientation relative to package marking side (SIP-3 Ammo Pack), with hysteresis of 8–25 G enabling noise-immune level detection. The single open-drain output includes overcurrent limiting (30–55 mA), zener clamping (28 V), and reverse-blocking protection on VDD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 28 V - enables direct interface with 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V industrial control rails without external regulation. |
| Operate Point (BOP) | 65–135 G (typ. 100 G) - high sensitivity allows detection with small or low-strength magnets at increased air gaps. |
| Release Point (BRP) | 50–120 G (typ. 85 G) - ensures clean hysteresis margin (min. 8 G) for reliable bounce-free switching in noisy environments. |
| Output Type | Open-drain N-channel - supports flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤32 V and enables wired-OR logic or multi-sensor bus configurations. |
| Output On Voltage | ≤0.4 V at 20 mA - guarantees low power dissipation and strong logic-low assertion even under full load. |
| ESD Rating | 8 kV HBM - provides robust handling during PCB assembly and field service without additional protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - validated for use in sealed motor housings, washing machine drums, and heated appliance enclosures. |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3 (Ammo Pack) package: 3-pin surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, 2.7 mm × 2.3 mm body, 1.3 mm pitch, and part marking on top surface. Mounting orientation requires South pole applied to marked side for activation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Power input with integrated reverse-blocking diode and zener clamp - tolerates −18 V reverse supply and transient overvoltage up to 32 V. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal regulator and output stage - must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into Hall sensor. |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Open-drain output with 60 mA continuous rating and internal current limit - requires external pull-up resistor (RL) for logic-level translation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper stabilization | Reduces thermal drift of BOP/BRP to <±0.5 G/°C and eliminates mechanical stress-induced offset shift in plastic-packaged sensors. |
| Integrated zener clamps | 28 V clamp on VDD and OUTPUT pins - eliminates need for external TVS diodes in 24 V system interfaces. |
| High ESD immunity | 8 kV HBM rating - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for front-panel switches and user-accessible proximity sensors. |
| Wide voltage operation | 3.0 V to 28 V supply range - supports battery-powered (3.3 V MCU) and line-powered (24 V PLC) applications with same BOM item. |
| Polarity-specific actuation | South-pole-only activation on marked side for SIP-3 - prevents false triggers from stray North-pole fields in multi-magnet assemblies. |
Applications
| Washing Machine Lid Detection | Cordless Hair Dryer Airflow Sensing |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Robust position verifier in dusty, vibration-prone factory environment. Use Value: 28 V absolute max rating withstands 24 V rail transients; 8 kV ESD protects against static discharge from conveyor belts and operator contact. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect unipolar switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A3212LLHLT-T | BOP = 20–40 G (lower sensitivity); SC59 package only; no reverse-blocking diode on VDD. | Requires stronger magnet or smaller air gap; needs external reverse-protection diode in 24 V systems. | Select when lower trip point is needed and SIP-3 packaging is not required. |
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-002-REEL | BOP = 30–60 G; built-in Schmitt trigger; 3.5–24 V range; SOIC-8 package. | Higher pin count and larger footprint; narrower voltage range excludes 28 V industrial rails. | Prefer for designs requiring tighter hysteresis control and compatibility with legacy SOIC layouts. |
Compared with A3212LLHLT-T and US1881EUA-ABA-002-REEL, AH3326-P-A offers higher magnetic sensitivity for relaxed mechanical tolerances, wider supply range for direct 24 V integration, and SIP-3 packaging optimized for high-volume consumer appliance SMT lines.

FAQ
What is the correct magnet polarity and orientation for AH3326-P-A activation?
The AH3326-P-A in SIP-3 (Ammo Pack) package requires a South pole applied to the side with part marking ('3326') for activation. Applying North pole or placing South pole on the unmarked side will not trigger the output. This polarity-specific behavior is inherent to the die orientation and cannot be reversed via configuration.
Does AH3326-P-A require an external capacitor on the VDD pin?
Yes - a 10 nF to 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor (CIN) is recommended between VDD and GND, placed as close as possible to the device pins. This stabilizes the internal bandgap regulator, improves RF noise immunity, and prevents false triggering during supply transients, especially in motor-driven appliance environments.
Can AH3326-P-A drive an LED directly without a series resistor?
No - the AH3326-P-A has an open-drain output rated for 60 mA continuous current, but driving an LED directly would exceed safe operating limits without current limiting. A series resistor must be used to limit current to ≤20 mA for reliable long-term operation and to maintain VOL ≤0.4 V per datasheet specifications.
Is AH3326-P-A qualified for automotive applications?
No - AH3326-P-A is specified for industrial and consumer applications. For automotive use, Diodes Incorporated offers the pin-compatible AH3326Q variant, which meets AEC-Q100 Grade 1 requirements (−40°C to +125°C) and includes additional qualification testing for vibration, humidity, and lifetime reliability under automotive conditions.
