Product details
Overview
AH3725-P-B from Diodes Incorporated is a high-voltage bipolar Hall-effect latch IC designed for position sensing and commutation in brushless DC motors, flow meters, and angular encoders. It operates from 3.0V to 28V, features BOP/BRP of 50–90G / –90––50G (typ), open-drain output with 30–55mA current limit, and supports –40°C to +125°C ambient operation in SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package.
For engineers reviewing the AH3725-P-B datasheet, AH3725-P-B pinout, AH3725-P-B application, or AH3725-P-B equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release thresholds, supply voltage range robustness, open-drain drive capability, thermal stability across automotive-grade temperature extremes, and SIP-3 mechanical compatibility for through-hole motor control PCBs.
Technical Context
The AH3725-P-B uses chopper-stabilized architecture with dynamic offset cancellation to minimize switch-point drift over temperature and supply voltage. Its internal bandgap regulator provides temperature-compensated biasing for the Hall sensor and signal chain, enabling stable BOP/BRP hysteresis of 100–180G across –40°C to +125°C.
It integrates reverse-blocking diode and zener clamp on VDD, plus output overcurrent limiting and zener clamping. The single open-drain output switches low when South pole flux exceeds BOP (≥50G typ), latches until North pole flux drops below BRP (≤–50G typ), and releases only upon magnetic polarity reversal - ensuring noise-immune, bounce-free digital position detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V to 28V - supports direct connection to 12V/24V automotive and industrial rails without external regulation. |
| Operate Point (BOP) | 50G to 90G (typ) - enables reliable activation with moderate-strength magnets at air gaps up to 2.5mm in motor rotor sensing. |
| Release Point (BRP) | –90G to –50G (typ) - ensures clean release with sufficient hysteresis (100–180G) to reject mechanical vibration and EMI-induced false triggers. |
| Output Type | Open-drain, rated 60mA continuous - allows flexible pull-up to any logic rail (3.3V/5V/12V) and direct interface with microcontroller GPIO or PLC inputs. |
| Startup Time | 10µs typical - guarantees valid output state within one microcontroller instruction cycle after power-on, critical for real-time RPM measurement. |
| ESD Rating | HBM ±8kV - meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for robustness in assembly, handling, and end-equipment environments. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive, industrial motor drives, and HVAC blower applications. |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3 (Bulk Pack) package: 3-pin straight-lead, through-hole mount with 2.54mm pitch, 14.5mm body length, and 3.0mm width - optimized for high-reliability motor control PCBs requiring mechanical stability and thermal mass.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Power input with integrated reverse-blocking diode and 28V zener clamp - tolerates load-dump transients and incorrect battery polarity during service. |
| 2 | GND | Ground reference for Hall sensor, amplifier, and output stage - requires low-impedance connection to minimize switching noise coupling. |
| 3 | OUTPUT | Open-drain NMOS output with 30–55mA current limit - sinks current when active; requires external pull-up for logic-high level translation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar Latch Operation | South pole activates (output low), North pole deactivates (output high-Z) - eliminates need for external polarity logic in BLDC rotor position decoding. |
| Chopper-Stabilized Sensing | 500kHz chopping frequency - reduces 1/f noise and offsets to <±0.5G drift over temperature, enabling stable zero-speed detection. |
| Integrated Protection | VDD reverse-blocking diode + zener clamp, output overcurrent limit + zener clamp - removes need for discrete protection components in cost-sensitive designs. |
| RF Noise Immunity | Validated against 100MHz–1GHz RF fields per ISO 11452-2 - maintains correct switching in proximity to inverters, wireless modules, and switching PSUs. |
| Lead-Free & Green Compliance | Fully RoHS 3 compliant, halogen- and antimony-free (<900ppm Br/Cl, <1000ppm Sb) - satisfies Tier 1 automotive and EU industrial environmental mandates. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A1220LLHLT-T | BOP/BRP ±35G (typ), 3.3–24V supply, SOIC-8 package | Lower sensitivity and narrower voltage range; requires PCB space for larger SOIC-8 footprint | Select when board layout favors surface-mount and magnetic field strength is consistently >40G. |
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-002-SP | BOP/BRP ±50G (typ), 3.5–24V supply, TSOT-23 package | Same sensitivity tier but smaller TSOT-23 footprint; lacks reverse-voltage protection | Select for space-constrained consumer devices where external reverse-protection is already present. |
Compared with A1220LLHLT-T and US1881EUA-ABA-002-SP, AH3725-P-B offers wider 3.0–28V operation, integrated reverse-voltage protection, and SIP-3 through-hole reliability - making it preferred for industrial motor controls and automotive subsystems where ruggedness and supply resilience are primary.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity behavior of AH3725-P-B?
The AH3725-P-B is a bipolar latch: it turns ON (pulls OUTPUT low) when exposed to a South pole magnetic field exceeding its operate point (BOP ≥50G typ), and remains latched until a North pole field exceeding its release point (BRP ≤–50G typ) is applied. This ensures stable, bounce-free switching in rotating magnet applications like BLDC rotors.
Does AH3725-P-B require an external pull-up resistor?
Yes - AH3725-P-B has an open-drain OUTPUT pin and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 1kΩ–10kΩ) to the desired logic rail (e.g., 3.3V, 5V, or 12V). The value affects rise time: RL = 1kΩ yields ~0.2µs rise time with 20pF load, per datasheet characterization.
Can AH3725-P-B operate directly from a 24V truck battery system?
Yes - AH3725-P-B is rated for 3.0V to 28V continuous operation and includes integrated reverse-blocking diode and 28V zener clamp on VDD. It withstands automotive load-dump transients up to 32V (transient rating) and operates reliably across cold-crank (6.5V) to alternator-overvoltage (18V+) conditions.
Is AH3725-P-B pin-compatible with other AH372X variants?
Yes - all AH372X variants (AH3722, AH3724, AH3725, AH3727) share identical SIP-3, SC59, and SOT23 (Type S) pinouts and electrical interfaces. Only magnetic sensitivity (BOP/BRP) differs; no PCB redesign is needed when upgrading sensitivity tiers within the same package.
