Product details
Overview
AH49EZ3-E1 from Diodes Incorporated is a linear Hall-effect sensor IC designed for analog magnetic field sensing in proximity, position, and current measurement circuits. It delivers a ratiometric output voltage (2.5 V ±0.25 V at B=0 G, VCC=5 V), 1.6 mV/G sensitivity, ±650 G magnetic range, 3.5 mA supply current, and operates from −40°C to +85°C in TO92S (TYPE CJ) package - used in motor commutation feedback loops and industrial linear displacement transducers.
For engineers reviewing the AH49EZ3-E1 datasheet, AH49EZ3-E1 pinout, AH49EZ3-E1 application, or AH49EZ3-E1 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world use cases with design-value metrics, and two confirmed alternative parts with documented functional trade-offs - all grounded in Diodes' DS36517 Rev. 2-2 specification.
Technical Context
The AH49EZ3-E1 integrates a Hall plate, low-noise amplifier, and precision resistor network to deliver temperature-stable linear output without external filtering. Its quiescent output is centered at VCC/2, with symmetrical positive/negative Gauss response and 90 µV RMS noise (10 Hz–10 kHz bandwidth).
It supports unipolar or bipolar magnetic field detection via south-pole-up or north-pole-up orientation relative to the marked face, with polarity behavior defined per package type: TO92S (TYPE CJ) outputs increase under south-pole approach, while SOT-23-3 exhibits reversed polarity due to die flip - requiring layout-aware magnetic alignment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 3.0–6.5 V - Enables direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V microcontroller ADCs without level-shifting |
| Output Sensitivity | 1.6 mV/G (typ.) - Delivers 3.2 V full-scale swing across ±1000 G, matching standard 12-bit ADC resolution |
| Quiescent Output | 2.5 V ±0.25 V at B=0 G, VCC=5 V - Provides inherent offset cancellation and rail-to-rail headroom |
| Supply Current | 3.5 mA (typ.) at VCC=5 V - Supports battery-powered operation for >1 year in low-duty-cycle sensing nodes |
| Magnetic Range | ±650 G (min.) - Covers common neodymium magnet gaps (e.g., 2–5 mm air gap in rotary encoders) |
| Output Noise | 90 µV RMS (10 Hz–10 kHz) - Eliminates need for external RC filter, reducing BOM count and PCB area |
| Temp Range | −40°C to +85°C - Validated for industrial control cabinets and automotive under-hood non-safety zones |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO92S (TYPE CJ), 3-pin through-hole, lead-free, RoHS-compliant, 0.077 g weight.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VCC | Positive supply input - Must be decoupled with ≥0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed within 5 mm of pin |
| 2 | GND | Analog ground reference - Shared return path for Hall element and amplifier; requires low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
| 3 | OUT | Analog voltage output - Ratiometric to VCC, drives loads up to 10 mA; compatible with 12-bit SAR ADC inputs directly |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Linear output transfer function | Enables direct Gauss-to-voltage mapping without lookup tables or calibration in embedded firmware |
| Low-noise amplifier (90 µV RMS) | Reduces signal-chain SNR degradation, allowing single-stage amplification before ADC sampling |
| Integrated precision resistors | Stabilizes gain and offset over temperature, achieving <0.7% linearity error across full operating range |
| Single sourcing output stage | Simplifies interfacing with microcontroller GPIOs configured as analog inputs - no pull-up/pull-down required |
| Bipolar magnetic response | Supports both push-pull and differential sensing topologies using one sensor, cutting component count in position feedback |
Applications
| Current Sensing | Motor Commutation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Non-invasive DC current monitoring in power supplies and battery management systems using a conductor loop adjacent to the sensor. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear Hall-effect transducer converting magnetic flux density into proportional analog voltage for MCU ADC acquisition.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear Hall-effect sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A1302LLHLT-T | Higher sensitivity (2.5 mV/G), wider temp range (−40°C to +150°C), but 5.5 mA supply current and SOT-23-3 only | Preferred for automotive engine bay placement where extended temperature tolerance is mandatory | Select when ambient exceeds +85°C and higher output swing is needed; avoid if power budget <4 mA |
| Melexis US5881SEB-AAA-000-SP | Lower noise (60 µV RMS), integrated EEPROM for user calibration, but fixed 5 V supply and TO-92 package only | Used where field-programmable offset/gain is required for multi-sensor array matching | Choose when production calibration traceability or post-assembly trimming is needed; not suitable for 3.3 V systems |
Compared with AH49EZ3-E1, A1302 offers superior high-temp capability at higher power cost, while US5881 enables calibrated deployment but sacrifices supply flexibility - making AH49EZ3-E1 optimal for cost-sensitive, 5 V industrial motion control where stability and simplicity are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the correct pinout orientation for AH49EZ3-E1 in TO92S (TYPE CJ) package?
The TO92S (TYPE CJ) package has Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 2 = GND, Pin 3 = OUT when viewing the flat side with marking "AH49G" upright. This configuration is confirmed in Diodes' DS36517 Rev. 2-2, Figure 1 (Front View), and differs from the NRND TO-92S variant which uses Pin 1 = VCC, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 2 = OUT.
Does AH49EZ3-E1 require external filtering for typical industrial noise environments?
No - the AH49EZ3-E1 integrates a low-noise amplifier with 90 µV RMS output noise (10 Hz–10 kHz bandwidth) and internal compensation, eliminating the need for external RC filters in most applications. Diodes explicitly states this in the datasheet's "Features" section and confirms it via measured noise performance in Section 3.
Can AH49EZ3-E1 operate from a 3.3 V supply, and what is its output voltage range at that voltage?
Yes - the recommended VCC range is 3.0 V to 6.5 V. At 3.3 V, the quiescent output is ~1.65 V (VCC/2), with full-scale swing of ±1.056 V (1.6 mV/G × ±660 G), yielding an output range of ~0.59 V to 2.71 V - fully compatible with 3.3 V ADC references.
How does magnetic polarity response differ between TO92S (TYPE CJ) and SOT-23-3 packages of the AH49E family?
In TO92S (TYPE CJ), a south pole approaching the marked face increases output voltage; in SOT-23-3, the same action decreases output due to flipped die orientation. This reversal is documented in DS36517 Section "Transferring Characteristics" and requires corresponding firmware sign inversion or physical mounting adjustment to maintain consistent system behavior.
