Product details
Overview
AH3761-PG-B from Diodes Incorporated is a high-sensitivity Hall-effect latch sensor designed for electronic commutation in brushless DC motors. It integrates a Hall voltage generator, comparator, Schmitt trigger with hysteresis, and open-drain output, operating from 3V to 28V with Bop = 5–60 Gauss and Brp = –60 to –5 Gauss. Its chopper-stabilized architecture enables stable switching in motor position sensing applications.
For engineers reviewing the AH3761-PG-B datasheet, AH3761-PG-B pinout, AH3761-PG-B application, or AH3761-PG-B equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release thresholds, open-drain drive capability (IOM = 50–90 mA), thermal derating in SIP-3 bulk package, and NRND status requiring legacy design validation.
Technical Context
The AH3761-PG-B implements dynamic offset cancellation via chopper stabilization to suppress sensor drift and improve temperature stability across –40°C to +125°C. Its internal bandgap regulator enables wide-supply operation while maintaining consistent bias for the Hall element and signal chain.
Switching behavior is defined by magnetic hysteresis (Bhys = 60 Gauss typical), with output latching low when B > Bop and releasing high only upon reversal below Brp. The open-drain output supports external pull-up configurations up to 30 V, with tF = 20 ns and tR = 340 ns into 10 kΩ/16 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VDD Range | 3 V to 28 V - Supports direct connection to 12 V/24 V motor control rails without external regulation |
| Bop / Brp | 5–60 G / –60 to –5 G - Enables reliable detection of small magnetic field reversals in rotor position sensing |
| IOM | 50–90 mA - Limits peak output current to protect internal driver during short-circuit transients |
| tST | 47 µs - Ensures stable output state within 50 µs after power-on, critical for motor startup timing |
| PD (SIP-3 Bulk) | 550 mW at 25°C, derates to 0 mW at 150°C - Defines maximum continuous dissipation in standard mounting conditions |
| fC | 300 kHz - Chopping frequency eliminates 1/f noise and enables high-precision DC magnetic measurement |
Pinout & Package
The AH3761-PG-B is supplied in SIP-3 (Straight Lead, Bulk Pack) package with gull-wing leads, 14.0–15.0 mm body length, and 2.8–3.2 mm width. Pin 1 = VDD, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUT (open-drain).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD (Pin 1) | Positive power supply input | Accepts 3–28 V DC; powers internal bandgap regulator and signal chain |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Common return path for Hall element, amplifier, and output stage |
| OUT (Pin 3) | Open-drain output | Sinks up to 90 mA; requires external pull-up for logic-level interface or MOSFET gate drive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Chopper stabilization | Eliminates offset drift over temperature and time, enabling stable zero-field baseline in motor commutation |
| Integrated reverse polarity protection | Withstands –30 V reverse battery connection without external diode, reducing BOM count in automotive BLDC modules |
| Hysteresis (60 G typical) | Prevents output oscillation near magnetic threshold transitions, essential for clean edge generation in RPM detection |
| Output short-circuit protection | Auto-shutdown for >160 µs overcurrent events, preventing thermal runaway during stalled motor conditions |

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 | Same manufacturer, identical pinout and function but updated process; higher Bop min (10 G vs. 5 G), lower IOM (40–70 mA) | Preferred for new designs requiring tighter magnetic sensitivity control and improved ESD robustness | Select AH3774 if designing new BLDC systems; AH3761-PG-B remains valid for legacy repair or cost-sensitive replacement |
| AL3761Q | Automotive-grade variant (AEC-Q100 qualified); same electrical specs but enhanced thermal cycling and humidity resistance | Required for automotive BLDC applications (e.g., radiator fans, EPS) where qualification compliance is mandatory | Choose AL3761Q for automotive production; AH3761-PG-B is industrial-grade only |
Compared with AH3774 and AL3761Q, the AH3761-PG-B offers proven performance in legacy industrial BLDC systems but lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and has looser magnetic thresholds-making it suitable for cost-driven replacements where qualification and precision are not required.

FAQ
Is AH3761-PG-B RoHS compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. AH3761-PG-B uses a fully lead-free, RoHS-compliant "Green" molding compound containing <900 ppm bromine, <900 ppm chlorine (total Br+Cl <1500 ppm), and <1000 ppm antimony, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Diodes' internal halogen-free standards.
What does "NRND" mean for AH3761-PG-B?
"NRND" (Not Recommended for New Design) indicates Diodes Incorporated no longer promotes AH3761-PG-B for new projects. It remains available for legacy support and repair, but new designs should consider AH3774 or AL3761Q for improved specs and qualification status.
Can AH3761-PG-B drive a MOSFET gate directly?
No. Its open-drain output sinks up to 90 mA but cannot source current. To drive a MOSFET gate, an external pull-up resistor (e.g., 10 kΩ to 12 V) is required to generate a high-side logic signal; for high-speed switching, a dedicated gate driver is recommended.
How does chopper stabilization improve performance in AH3761-PG-B?
Chopper stabilization modulates the Hall element signal at 300 kHz, shifting amplification away from low-frequency 1/f noise. This reduces offset drift to <1 G/°C and enables stable operation over –40°C to +125°C without external calibration-critical for consistent motor commutation timing.
