Product details
Overview
AH3716-P-B from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage bipolar Hall-effect latch IC designed for brushless DC motor commutation and position sensing in industrial appliances and personal care devices. It operates from 3.0V to 27V, features ±80G to ±140G magnetic operate/release points (BOP/BRP), open-drain output with 60mA current limit, and chopper-stabilized architecture for stable switching across −40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the AH3716-P-B datasheet, AH3716-P-B pinout, AH3716-P-B application, or AH3716-P-B equivalent, this device is selected for robust magnetic sensing in high-temperature, high-voltage environments where latch polarity (South-on/North-off), load-dump immunity, and RF noise resilience are critical.
Technical Context
The AH3716-P-B implements a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor with dynamic offset cancellation, enabling minimal switch-point drift over temperature and supply voltage. Its internal bandgap regulator supplies temperature-compensated bias to analog circuitry, ensuring consistent BOP/BRP thresholds across the full −40°C to +125°C range.
It uses a single open-drain output stage with integrated overcurrent limiting (30–60mA) and 40V transient load-dump protection. Magnetic hysteresis is fixed at 160–280G, preventing chatter during slow-field transitions in rotary or linear encoder applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 27V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V industrial rails without external regulation. |
| BOP / BRP | ±80G / ±140G typical - enables reliable actuation with standard ferrite magnets at air gaps up to 2.5mm. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible pullup configuration (external or internal on A-version; AH3716-P-B is open-drain only). |
| Startup Time | 13µs typical - ensures rapid system readiness after power-on, critical for motor startup sequencing. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood, pump, and appliance motor control environments. |
| ESD Rating | HBM 8kV, CDM 1kV - withstands handling and board-level ESD events in automated assembly. |
| Load Dump | 40V transient rating - survives ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a surges in automotive-adjacent industrial systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Type S) - surface-mount, 3-pin, JEDEC-standard footprint compatible with automated placement and reflow.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 3.0–27V; includes internal bandgap regulator and reverse-battery protection (not applicable to AH3716). |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Return path for internal circuits and output sink current; must be low-impedance for stable switching. |
| 3 - OUTPUT | Open-drain output | Sinks up to 60mA; requires external pullup for logic-high state; latches until field polarity reversal crosses BRP. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latch operation | South pole activates (output low), North pole releases (output high-impedance) - eliminates need for external polarity logic. |
| Chopper stabilization | 500kHz chopping frequency - reduces thermal drift of BOP/BRP to <±5G over full temperature range. |
| Magnetic hysteresis | 160–280G - prevents oscillation near threshold in noisy mechanical environments (e.g., BLDC rotor vibration). |
| RF noise immunity | Validated per IEC 61000-4-3 - maintains correct state during 10V/m radiated RF fields (80–1000MHz). |
| Overcurrent protection | 30–60mA hard current limit - protects output transistor during short-circuit or excessive pullup conditions. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3716T (Allegro) | Wider BOP range (±70G to ±150G), same SOT23 package, but no load-dump rating. | Lacks 40V transient protection - unsuitable for 24V industrial systems with relay switching noise. | Select if operating strictly within 12V rails and requiring higher sensitivity margin. |
| DRV5013A2 (TI) | Higher supply range (2.7–38V), integrated 10kΩ pullup, but BOP/BRP tighter (±90G/±130G typical). | Fixed internal pullup limits interface flexibility; lower hysteresis increases susceptibility to vibration-induced chatter. | Choose when board space is constrained and external resistor omission is prioritized over field robustness. |
Compared with AL3716T and DRV5013A2, the AH3716-P-B delivers superior transient survivability and wider magnetic hysteresis-making it the preferred choice for high-reliability BLDC commutation and flow metering where environmental stress and mechanical resonance are present.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity behavior of AH3716-P-B?
The AH3716-P-B is a bipolar latch: a South pole applied to the marked side of the SOT23 package switches the output low (active), and a North pole of sufficient strength releases it to high-impedance. This behavior is confirmed in DS46066 Rev. 1–2, page 5, and is intrinsic to its latch architecture-no configuration pins or external components alter polarity logic.
Does AH3716-P-B include an internal pullup resistor?
No. AH3716-P-B has an open-drain output only and requires an external pullup resistor. The internal pullup (10–18kΩ) is exclusive to the "A" variants (e.g., AH3716A). This distinction is explicitly stated in the Electrical Characteristics table (page 4) and Pin Descriptions (page 3) of DS46066.
Can AH3716-P-B operate from a 3.3V supply in low-power systems?
Yes. The device is fully specified from 3.0V to 27V, with supply current of 2.8–4.8mA across −40°C to +125°C. At 3.3V and 25°C, IDD is 2.8mA typical (page 4), and magnetic thresholds remain valid-enabling use in battery-powered portable appliances with regulated 3.3V rails.
Is AH3716-P-B qualified for automotive applications?
No. While AH3716-P-B meets AEC-Q100 stress test levels for temperature and ESD, Diodes explicitly states in the datasheet (page 1) that automotive qualification (AEC-Q100/101/104/200) and PPAP capability require special part numbers and manufacturing controls-not applicable to standard AH3716-P-B. Automotive designs must use designated AEC-qualified variants.
