Product details
Overview
AH375-WL-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latched sensor IC designed for electronic commutation in brushless DC motors and speed-sensing applications. It features an integrated Hall voltage generator, comparator, Schmitt trigger with 60 Gauss hysteresis, open-drain output capable of sinking 25 mA, and operates from 2.2 V to 20 V across –40°C to +125°C.
For engineers reviewing the AH375-WL-7 datasheet, AH375-WL-7 pinout, AH375-WL-7 application, or AH375-WL-7 equivalent, this page delivers verified magnetic thresholds (Bop = 5–60 G, Brp = –60 to –5 G), SC59 package mapping, thermal derating curves, and validated alternatives for BLDC motor control and revolution counting circuits.
Technical Context
The AH375-WL-7 implements a monolithic Hall-effect latch with internal band-gap regulation for supply-independent magnetic switching. Its Schmitt-triggered output provides noise-immune digital state retention until magnetic polarity reversal crosses the release point.
It functions as a magnetic polarity detector with fixed Bop/Brp thresholds referenced to the branded surface side. The open-drain output interfaces directly with N-channel MOSFET pre-drivers or logic-level inputs without external pull-up constraints beyond sink-current capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.2 V to 20 V - Enables direct integration into 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 24 V motor-control rails without external regulators. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - Allows wired-OR configuration and flexible pull-up selection up to 30 V off-state voltage rating. |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA max - Sufficient to drive gate resistors of low-side N-MOSFETs or interface with standard logic families. |
| Magnetic Hysteresis | 60 Gauss - Ensures robust immunity to mechanical vibration and EMI-induced false triggering in rotating systems. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive fan control and industrial BLDC motor environments. |
| Package | SC59 (SOT23-equivalent) - Surface-mount footprint compatible with high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC59 (3-pin SOT23 variant, lead-free, RoHS-compliant). Dimensions: 2.80 mm × 1.60 mm × 0.95 mm (L × W × H), with 0.95 mm body height and 0.75 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Vdd | Positive power supply input | Accepts 2.2–20 V DC; powers internal regulator, Hall plate, and signal chain - must be decoupled near pin. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for Hall sensing, comparator, and output stage - requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 3 - OUT | Open-drain digital output | Sinks up to 25 mA when active; floats high when inactive - requires external pull-up resistor for logic-level output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latching operation | Retains output state until magnetic polarity reversal crosses Brp - eliminates need for continuous field presence in rotor position sensing. |
| Temperature-compensated Hall element | Stable Bop/Brp thresholds over –40°C to +125°C - avoids recalibration in thermally varying motor housings. |
| Wide supply range (2.2–20 V) | Eliminates dedicated LDO for Hall sensor in multi-rail systems - simplifies power architecture in BLDC driver modules. |
| RoHS- and halogen-free "Green" construction | Meets IEC 61249-2-21 and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements - supports automotive and industrial environmental compliance programs. |
Applications
| BLDC Motor Commutation | Brushless Fan Control |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Rotor position detection in 3-phase BLDC motors for trapezoidal commutation timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Magnetic latch providing synchronized edge-triggered signals to MCU or gate driver IC for phase-switching sequence. Use Value: 60 Gauss hysteresis prevents chatter during pole transition; open-drain output interfaces directly with 3.3 V/5 V logic-level drivers. |
Use Scenario: Speed feedback loop in 12 V/24 V cooling fans used in servers and power supplies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Revolution counter generating pulses per rotation for RPM calculation and closed-loop fan speed regulation. Use Value: Wide 2.2–20 V supply range allows direct connection to fan's main rail; –40°C to +125°C rating ensures reliability in hot chassis environments. |
| Rotary Encoder Interface | Industrial Speed Monitoring |
Use Scenario: Non-contact angular position sensing on rotating shafts in pumps and compressors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Digital magnetic switch converting magnet passage into clean, debounced pulse train for microcontroller input capture.

Use Value: 25 mA sink current supports direct driving of optocoupler LEDs or level-shifting transistors without buffer stages. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AH3774-WL-7 | Successor part with tighter Bop/Brp tolerance (±5 G vs ±15 G), lower quiescent current (1.5 mA vs 2–4 mA), and same SC59 package. | Designed for higher-precision rotor position detection in automotive-grade BLDC systems requiring AEC-Q100 qualification. | Select AH3774-WL-7 for new designs needing improved magnetic consistency and lower power; AH375-WL-7 remains viable for cost-sensitive legacy replacements. |
| US1881N-DS-T | Unipolar latch (Bop only, no Brp), 3–24 V supply, 20 mA sink, TO-92 package - lacks bipolar hysteresis and temperature compensation. | Suitable for simple proximity detection but not for bidirectional rotor sensing where polarity reversal is required. | Use US1881N-DS-T only in unidirectional motion detection; avoid in BLDC commutation where magnetic polarity reversal defines state hold. |
Compared with AH3774-WL-7, the AH375-WL-7 offers broader magnetic threshold spread and higher supply current, making it more tolerant of magnet strength variation but less precise in high-resolution timing. Versus US1881N-DS-T, it delivers true bipolar latching essential for reliable motor phase sequencing.

FAQ
Is AH375-WL-7 still in production?
No - AH375-WL-7 is officially obsolete and discontinued per Diodes Incorporated's DS31172 Rev. 8 documentation. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains limited legacy stock with full traceability and supports design-in continuity through documented alternatives like AH3774-WL-7.
What is the correct orientation for mounting AH375-WL-7 relative to the magnet?
The branded surface (marked "375") must face the magnet's south pole for proper activation. When the south pole approaches the branded side, output pulls low at B > Bop (5–60 G); output releases only when south pole retreats below Brp (–60 to –5 G).
Can AH375-WL-7 drive a MOSFET gate directly?
Yes - its 25 mA open-drain output can sink sufficient current to discharge gate capacitance of small-signal N-channel MOSFETs (e.g., 2N7002, DMN2004) when paired with an appropriate pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to 12 V).
Does AH375-WL-7 require an external capacitor on Vdd?
Yes - a 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor is required between Vdd and GND, placed as close as possible to pins 1 and 2, to stabilize the internal band-gap regulator and suppress supply noise induced by motor switching transients.
