Product details
Overview
AH3715Q-SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is an AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified automotive Hall-effect bipolar latch IC in SOT23 (Type S) package, designed for brushless DC motor commutation and angular position sensing. It operates from 3.0V to 27V, features ±50G to ±90G magnetic operate/release points (BOP/BRP), open-drain output with 30–60mA current limit, and supports -40°C to +150°C ambient operation.
For engineers reviewing the AH3715Q-SA-7 datasheet, AH3715Q-SA-7 pinout, AH3715Q-SA-7 application, or AH3715Q-SA-7 equivalent, this device delivers robust magnetic switching performance in high-voltage automotive subsystems including motor control, RPM measurement, and contactless position indexing where supply resilience, thermal stability, and polarity-specific latching behavior are critical.
Technical Context
The AH3715Q employs chopper-stabilized architecture with dynamic offset cancellation to minimize switch-point drift over temperature and stress, achieving ±50G to ±90G BOP/BRP with 100–180G hysteresis (BHY). Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog blocks, enabling stable operation across the full -40°C to +150°C range.
It integrates reverse-blocking diode and Zener clamp on VDD (rated to 40V transient), output overcurrent limiting (30–60mA), and ESD protection (8kV HBM, 1kV CDM). The single open-drain output switches low when South pole flux exceeds BOP and remains latched until North pole flux falls below BRP - polarity orientation depends on package marking side.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 27V - supports direct battery connection in 12V/24V automotive systems without external regulation. |
| BOP / BRP (Typical) | +70G / -70G - enables reliable latching at moderate field strengths with 140G hysteresis for noise immunity. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible pull-up to any voltage ≤27V and simplifies interfacing with MCU GPIO or logic inputs. |
| Startup Time | 13µs typical - ensures rapid system readiness after power-on, critical for real-time motor commutation timing. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood and transmission-mounted applications per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. |
| Load Dump Protection | 40V transient rating - withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a surges without external clamping components. |
| Output Current Limit | 30–60mA - protects internal switch and external load during short-circuit or overload conditions. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (Type S) package with 3-pin surface-mount footprint; pin 1 = VDD, pin 2 = GND, pin 3 = OUTPUT; part marking side defines South-pole activation orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power Supply Input | Accepts 3.0–27V DC; includes reverse-blocking diode and 36V Zener clamp for fault resilience. |
| 2 - GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for internal circuits and output sink current; must be low-impedance for stable operation. |
| 3 - OUTPUT | Open-Drain Output | Sinks up to 60mA; requires external pull-up resistor (RL); active-low latched state driven by magnetic polarity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper-Stabilized Architecture | Reduces thermal drift of BOP/BRP to <±10% over -40°C to +150°C, ensuring consistent switching thresholds. |
| Package-Specific Polarity Mapping | SOT23 (Type S): South pole to part-marking side activates output - eliminates ambiguity in mechanical mounting orientation. |
| Integrated Supply Protection | Reverse-blocking diode + 36V Zener clamp on VDD enables direct connection to automotive battery without discrete protection. |
| High Immunity to RF Noise | Validated performance in noisy engine bay environments; no external filtering required beyond 10nF–100nF bypass capacitor. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade 0 Qualification | Qualified for ambient temperatures up to +150°C - meets requirements for powertrain, transmission, and turbocharger position sensing. |
Applications
| BLDC Motor Commutation | RPM Measurement |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3715QSA-7 | Same sensitivity grade (BOP/BRP ≈ ±70G), identical SOT23 (Type S) package, but manufactured by Allegro - different ESD rating (4kV HBM vs. 8kV) and no AEC-Q100 Grade 0 certification. | Lacks Grade 0 qualification; not approved for powertrain-critical positions requiring >125°C ambient operation. | Select only for non-safety-critical cabin or body applications where cost is prioritized over extended temperature compliance. |
| TLE4961-1K | Higher sensitivity (BOP ≈ ±25G), integrated pull-up, but narrower supply range (4.5–24V) and no 40V load dump rating. | Requires external 27V-compatible pull-up for 24V+ systems; unsuitable for 27V nominal battery architectures or load dump survival testing. | Prefer for low-field applications with tight space constraints; avoid where 27V operation or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a compliance is mandatory. |
Compared with AL3715QSA-7 and TLE4961-1K, the AH3715Q-SA-7 uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, 3.0–27V operation, 40V transient tolerance, and SOT23 polarity mapping - making it the only option qualified for high-reliability, high-voltage automotive commutation and indexing where thermal margin and surge resilience are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for activation in the AH3715Q-SA-7?
The AH3715Q-SA-7 in SOT23 (Type S) package requires a South pole applied to the part-marking side to turn the output ON. This polarity orientation is fixed per package type and confirmed in the datasheet's magnetic characteristics table and pin diagram. Reversing polarity will prevent activation.
Does the AH3715Q-SA-7 require an external bypass capacitor?
Yes - a 10nF to 100nF ceramic capacitor (CIN) between VDD and GND is required for power stabilization and enhanced RF noise immunity, as specified in the Typical Applications Circuit. Omitting it may cause erratic switching or increased susceptibility to electrical interference.
Can the AH3715Q-SA-7 operate from a 27V supply continuously?
Yes - 27V is within the recommended continuous operating range (3.0V to 27V). The 40V absolute maximum rating applies only to transient load dump events (per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a), not steady-state operation. Continuous 27V use is fully supported and characterized.
How does the chopper-stabilized design improve performance over conventional Hall latches?
The chopper-stabilized architecture actively cancels offset voltage drift caused by temperature gradients and mechanical stress, reducing BOP/BRP variation to <±10% over -40°C to +150°C. This eliminates need for external calibration and ensures consistent latching behavior in thermally cycling automotive environments.
