Product details
Overview
AH3523Q-P-B from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified automotive Hall-effect omnipolar switch IC in SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package, designed for position and proximity sensing in harsh environments. It operates from 3.0V to 28V, delivers ±30G typical operate point (BOP), ±20G typical release point (BRP), 10µs startup time, and features open-drain output with 30–55mA current limiting - deployed in seatbelt buckle detection, gear position sensing, and door/trunk closure systems.
For engineers reviewing the AH3523Q-P-B datasheet, AH3523Q-P-B pinout, AH3523Q-P-B application, or AH3523Q-P-B equivalent, this page provides verified magnetic thresholds, thermal stability data across −40°C to +150°C, load dump protection rating, chopper-stabilized offset cancellation architecture, and SIP-3 terminal mapping for PCB layout and functional validation.
Technical Context
The AH3523Q-P-B implements a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor with dynamic offset cancellation, enabling stable switching over −40°C to +150°C without external compensation. Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog blocks, while the Zener clamp on VDD (28V) and OUTPUT pins ensures robustness against transients.
It supports omnipolar operation: output turns ON (low) when |B| exceeds BOP (±15–45G) and remains ON until |B| falls below BRP (±5–35G), delivering 10G minimum hysteresis. The single open-drain output includes overcurrent limiting (30–55mA) and reverse polarity protection via integrated blocking diode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 28V - enables direct connection to automotive battery rails without external regulation |
| Operate Point (BOP) | ±15G to ±45G typ. - detects weak magnetic fields from small magnets at extended air gaps |
| Release Point (BRP) | ±5G to ±35G typ. - ensures clean hysteresis-driven noise immunity in vibrating environments |
| Output Type | Open-drain with 30–55mA current limit - drives standard pull-up resistors and interfaces directly with MCU GPIOs |
| Startup Time | 10µs typical - guarantees fast system response after power-on reset in safety-critical modules |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - validated for under-hood and cabin-mounted automotive subsystems |
| ESD Rating | HBM: 8kV, CDM: 1kV - meets stringent automotive ESD immunity requirements |
| Load Dump Protection | 40V transient rating - withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without external TVS |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package with 3-pin straight-lead configuration, optimized for automated insertion and high-reliability automotive assembly. Pin 1 = VDD, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUTPUT - compatible with standard SIP-3 footprints and wave-soldering processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Power supply input | Accepts 3.0–28V DC; integrates reverse-blocking diode and 28V Zener clamp for fault tolerance |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for internal circuitry and output stage; low-impedance thermal pad connection |
| 3 (OUTPUT) | Open-drain output | Sinks up to 55mA; includes Zener clamp and overcurrent foldback to prevent latch-up during short circuits |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Omnipolar magnetic sensitivity | Detects both north and south poles with identical BOP/BRP thresholds - eliminates magnet orientation dependency in mechanical assemblies |
| Chopper-stabilized architecture | Reduces thermal drift of BOP/BRP to <±0.1G/°C - maintains consistent switching points across full automotive temperature range |
| Integrated protection network | VDD reverse-blocking diode + Zener clamp + OUTPUT Zener clamp - removes need for 3 external protection components |
| High ESD robustness | 8kV HBM rating - survives handling and assembly without additional ESD safeguards |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification | Validated for 150°C ambient operation - certified for engine bay, transmission, and HVAC actuator use cases |
Applications

Use Value: Withstands 150°C ambient and 40V load dump - eliminates field failures caused by thermal stress or alternator transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect omnipolar switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Melexis US5881LUA-ABA-000-RE | Higher BOP (±50G), SOT23-3 package, no load dump rating | Limited to cabin applications only; lacks 40V transient immunity required for under-hood use | Select when higher magnetic immunity is needed and environment is non-transient-prone |
| Allegro A1174LUA-T | BOP ±25G, -40°C to +150°C, but only AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (125°C max ambient) | Not rated for sustained 150°C operation - unsuitable for transmission or engine compartment mounting | Choose only for interior modules where ambient stays ≤125°C |
Compared with AH3523Q-P-B, US5881LUA offers tighter magnetic tolerance but no automotive-grade transient protection, while A1174LUA sacrifices Grade 0 qualification for lower cost - AH3523Q-P-B uniquely balances wide voltage range, full Grade 0 compliance, and integrated protection in SIP-3 packaging.

FAQ
What is the magnetic sensitivity range of AH3523Q-P-B?
The AH3523Q-P-B has a typical operate point (BOP) of ±30G and release point (BRP) of ±20G, with guaranteed ranges of ±15G to ±45G and ±5G to ±35G respectively. These values are specified across −40°C to +150°C and enable reliable detection with small neodymium magnets at air gaps up to 3.5mm in automotive mechanical assemblies.
Does AH3523Q-P-B require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - the AH3523Q-P-B features an open-drain output that requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 1kΩ to 10kΩ) between VDD and the OUTPUT pin. This resistor sets logic-high voltage level and rise time; RL = 1kΩ yields ~0.2µs rise time with 20pF load capacitance per datasheet characterization.
Can AH3523Q-P-B be used in 48V mild-hybrid vehicle systems?
No - AH3523Q-P-B is rated for 3.0V to 28V operation with 40V absolute maximum transient rating. It is not designed for continuous 48V rail operation or 60V+ load dump events common in 48V architectures. Use only in conventional 12V/24V automotive systems meeting ISO 16750-2 requirements.
What is the difference between AH3523Q-P-B and AH3523Q-SA-7?
AH3523Q-P-B uses SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) packaging with straight leads for through-hole insertion, while AH3523Q-SA-7 uses SOT23-3 (Type S) surface-mount packaging on 7-inch tape-and-reel. Both share identical electrical specs and AEC-Q100 qualification, but differ in mechanical form factor, thermal dissipation (SIP-3: 550mW, SOT23: 230mW), and assembly process compatibility.
