Product details
Overview
AH3326Q-P-B from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified automotive Hall-effect unipolar switch IC designed for position and proximity sensing in harsh environments. It operates from 3.0V to 28V, features open-drain output with 60mA current limit, BOP of 65–135G (typ. 100G), BRP of 50–120G (typ. 85G), and functions reliably from −40°C to +150°C - used in seatbelt buckle detection and transmission gear position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the AH3326Q-P-B datasheet, AH3326Q-P-B pinout, AH3326Q-P-B application, or AH3326Q-P-B equivalent, key selection factors include magnetic sensitivity tolerance, polarity-dependent mounting orientation (SIP-3 requires south pole to marking side), load dump immunity (40V), chopper-stabilized temperature stability, and SIP-3 bulk-pack mechanical compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
The AH3326Q-P-B implements a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor architecture with dynamic offset cancellation, delivering minimal switch-point drift over temperature and superior immunity to mechanical stress and EMI. Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog blocks, enabling stable operation across the full −40°C to +150°C range.
It uses a single open-drain output stage with integrated overcurrent limiting (30–55mA) and zener clamps on both VDD and OUTPUT pins. Magnetic actuation is unipolar: output switches low when perpendicular flux exceeds BOP (100G typ.), remains latched until flux falls below BRP (85G typ.), with 15G typical hysteresis to prevent chatter.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| BOP (Operate Point) | 65–135 G (typ. 100 G): magnetic threshold at which output pulls low; enables reliable detection of weak-field targets like small ferrous gears. |
| BRP (Release Point) | 50–120 G (typ. 85 G): field level below which output releases; 15 G typical hysteresis prevents oscillation near threshold. |
| VDD Range | 3.0–28 V: supports direct connection to automotive battery rails including cold-crank (≥6 V) and load-dump transients (with 40 V absolute max rating). |
| Output Type | Open-drain N-channel: allows flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤32 V; compatible with 3.3 V, 5 V, or 12 V logic interfaces. |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +150°C: validated for under-hood and cabin-mounted applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. |
| ESD Robustness | HBM 8 kV / CDM 1 kV: withstands handling and system-level electrostatic events without latch-up or parametric shift. |
| Startup Time | 10 µs (typ.): ensures rapid response after power-on; output valid within 10 µs once VDD ≥3 V is reached. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) - 3-pin straight-lead surface-mount package with 2.54 mm pitch, optimized for high-volume automotive PCB assembly and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Power supply input; internally regulated and zener-clamped to 40 V transient; requires 10–100 nF decoupling capacitor. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuits and output stage; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Open-drain N-channel output; sinks up to 60 mA; requires external pull-up resistor (RL); clamped to 28 V by internal zener. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper stabilization | Reduces thermal drift of BOP/BRP to <±0.5 G/°C, enabling consistent switching across full automotive temperature range. |
| Reverse blocking diode + VDD zener clamp | Withstands −18 V reverse supply and 40 V load-dump transients without external protection components. |
| South-pole activation (SIP-3) | Requires magnet south pole facing part marking side - simplifies mechanical integration in seatbelt and door closure assemblies. |
| RF noise immunity | Validated against ISO 11452-2/4; maintains function during 100 MHz–2 GHz radiated RF fields up to 100 V/m. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Qualified for 150°C ambient operation with PPAP documentation support and IATF 16949 manufacturing traceability. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3326Q-P-B | Same magnetic thresholds (BOP/BRP), identical SIP-3 package, but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 150°C rating. | Restricted to non-automotive industrial use; not PPAP-capable or IATF 16949 manufactured. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where Grade 0 qualification is unnecessary. |
| TLE4913-2SA | Higher BOP (120–170 G), wider VDD range (4.5–30 V), integrated reverse polarity protection, but SC-59 package only. | Requires board redesign for SC-59 footprint; no SIP-3 option available. | Choose when higher magnetic immunity or reverse-voltage tolerance is critical and SIP-3 mounting is not required. |
Compared with AL3326Q-P-B, AH3326Q-P-B adds AEC-Q100 Grade 0 compliance, extended temperature capability (+150°C), and automotive-grade ESD/EMC robustness - essential for safety-critical OEM programs. Versus TLE4913-2SA, it offers SIP-3 mechanical compatibility and lower minimum operating voltage (3.0 V), enabling integration into low-power wake-up circuits.

FAQ
What is the correct magnet orientation for AH3326Q-P-B in SIP-3 package?
The SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) variant requires the south pole of the magnet to face the part marking side of the device. This orientation triggers the output to switch low when magnetic flux exceeds the operate point (BOP = 100 G typ.). Mounting with north pole facing the marking side will not activate the switch. Polarity direction is verified in the datasheet's magnetic characteristics diagram and differs from SC59 variants.
Does AH3326Q-P-B require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - AH3326Q-P-B has an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor (RL) connected between the OUTPUT pin and a positive supply (≤32 V). Typical values range from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ depending on rise time and bus loading requirements. The datasheet recommends RL = 1 kΩ with CL = 20 pF for tR ≤ 1 µs. No internal pull-up is provided.
Can AH3326Q-P-B withstand automotive load dump events?
Yes - AH3326Q-P-B is rated for 40 V transient supply voltage (absolute maximum), meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump immunity requirements when used with appropriate input filtering. Its integrated reverse-blocking diode and VDD zener clamp protect internal circuitry without external TVS diodes. However, sustained operation above 28 V is not recommended.
Is AH3326Q-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), and SC59 pinouts and footprints. Only magnetic sensitivity (BOP/BRP) and hysteresis differ between part numbers. Hardware design can remain unchanged when selecting alternate trip points for different mechanical air gaps or magnet strengths.
