Product details
Overview
AH3722-SA-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage, bipolar Hall-effect latch IC designed for brushless DC motor commutation and RPM sensing in automotive and industrial systems. It operates from 3.0V to 28V, features open-drain output with 30–55mA current limiting, BOP/BRP of 10–40G / –40 to –10G (typ), and functions reliably from –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the AH3722-SA-7 datasheet, AH3722-SA-7 pinout, AH3722-SA-7 application, or AH3722-SA-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic sensitivity hysteresis (20–80G), chopper-stabilized temperature stability, reverse supply protection (–18V), ESD robustness (8kV HBM), and SOT23 (Type S) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AH3722-SA-7 implements a chopper-stabilized architecture with dynamic offset cancellation and internal bandgap regulation, delivering minimal switch-point drift across temperature and supply voltage. Its bipolar latch behavior-turning on with South pole and off with North pole-enables precise angular position detection in rotating systems.
It integrates reverse-blocking diode and zener clamp on VDD, plus output overcurrent limit and zener clamp, ensuring robust operation under electrical stress. The single open-drain output requires external pull-up and supports fast switching (tD = 4µs, tF = 0.1–1µs) with startup time of 10µs after VDD reaches 3V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 28V - enables direct connection to 12V/24V automotive and industrial rails without external regulators. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial ambient environments. |
| BOP / BRP (typ) | 25G / –25G - provides reliable latching at low-field conditions typical in BLDC rotor position sensing. |
| Hysteresis BHY (typ) | 50G - prevents chatter near magnetic thresholds during slow or noisy field transitions. |
| Output Type | Open-drain with 30–55mA current limit - allows flexible pull-up voltage selection and inherent short-circuit protection. |
| VOUT_ON (IOUT = 20mA) | 0.2–0.4V - ensures low power dissipation and clean logic-low signaling into standard CMOS inputs. |
| ESD HBM | 8kV - exceeds AEC-Q100 Class 2 requirements for handling and assembly robustness. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 (Type S), 3-pin surface-mount, lead-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2015/863/EU.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Power supply input with integrated reverse-blocking diode and zener clamp (–18V rating). |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for internal regulator and output stage; must be low-impedance for stable chopper operation. |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Open-drain output with overcurrent limit (30–55mA) and zener clamp; requires external pull-up resistor (RL). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar Latch Operation | South pole activates output (low), North pole releases it - enables deterministic direction-sensitive position sensing. |
| Chopper Stabilization | 500kHz chopping frequency eliminates offset drift, reducing BOP/BRP variation to ±10% over temperature. |
| High-Voltage Robustness | 32V transient VDD rating and –18V reverse supply tolerance - withstands load-dump and battery-reverse events. |
| RF Noise Immunity | Integrated low-pass filtering and dynamic offset cancellation suppress common-mode EMI up to 1GHz. |
| Low-Power Startup | 10µs startup time at ≥3V - supports fast-response speed measurement in pulsed or intermittent operation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL3722QSA-7 | Automotive-grade (AEC-Q100 Grade 0), identical magnetic specs but qualified to +150°C junction temp. | Required for under-hood engine control modules where ambient exceeds +125°C. | Select when full automotive qualification and extended temperature margin are mandatory. |
| US5781LUA-AAA-000 | Lower sensitivity (BOP = 35–70G), no chopper stabilization, 2.7–24V supply range. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer appliances but lacks thermal stability for industrial RPM accuracy. | Choose only for non-critical, room-temperature applications where BOP tolerance >±20G is acceptable. |
Compared with AH3722-SA-7, AL3722QSA-7 adds AEC-Q100 qualification and higher junction temperature margin without altering magnetic performance, while US5781LUA-AAA-000 trades chopper stability and wide-voltage operation for lower unit cost in less demanding environments.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity response of AH3722-SA-7?
The AH3722-SA-7 is a bipolar latch: it turns ON (output pulled low) when exposed to a sufficient South pole magnetic field perpendicular to the package marking side, and remains latched until a sufficient North pole field causes it to turn OFF. This behavior is confirmed in the datasheet's magnetic characteristics table for AH3722, with BOP = 10–40G (South) and BRP = –40 to –10G (North).
Can AH3722-SA-7 operate directly from a 24V truck battery system?
Yes - AH3722-SA-7 supports 3.0V to 28V supply voltage and includes integrated reverse-blocking diode and zener clamp on VDD, allowing direct connection to 24V systems. Its absolute maximum VDD rating is 32V (transient), and reverse supply tolerance is –18V, making it suitable for automotive load-dump and battery-reverse scenarios without external protection circuitry.
What external components are required for basic operation?
AH3722-SA-7 requires only two external components: a 10nF–100nF ceramic bypass capacitor (CIN) between VDD and GND for power stabilization and noise immunity, and a pull-up resistor (RL) on the open-drain OUTPUT pin. Typical RL values range from 1kΩ to 10kΩ depending on rise-time and bus voltage; no additional biasing or signal conditioning is needed.
Is AH3722-SA-7 pin-compatible with other AH372X variants?
Yes - all AH372X variants (AH3722, AH3724, AH3725, AH3727) share identical pinout (VDD-GND-OUTPUT) and SOT23 (Type S) package dimensions. They differ only in magnetic sensitivity (BOP/BRP), so AH3722-SA-7 can be substituted for AH3724-SA-7 or AH3725-SA-7 in the same footprint if the application's field strength matches the selected variant's threshold range.
