Product details
Overview
AH9248NTR-G1 from Diodes Incorporated is an ultra-sensitive, micropower omnipolar Hall-effect switch with digital latched output, designed for battery-powered handheld equipment. It operates from 2.5V to 5.5V, draws only 6–10 µA in sleep mode and 2–4 mA awake, and switches on with either north or south magnetic pole (BOP ±30–55 G, BRP ±5–20 G). Its chopper-stabilized architecture ensures stable magnetic thresholds across temperature.
For engineers reviewing the AH9248NTR-G1 datasheet, AH9248NTR-G1 pinout, AH9248NTR-G1 application, or AH9248NTR-G1 equivalent, this device is selected for low-duty-cycle magnet sensing where supply current, thermal stability, and bipolar field response are critical - especially in cover detection, wake-on-approach, and portable device proximity switching.
Technical Context
The AH9248NTR-G1 implements a chopper-stabilized Hall sensor with integrated sleep/awake timing logic to reduce average current. Its comparator uses hysteresis (BHYS ≥10 G) to prevent output oscillation near switching thresholds, and its output stage is open-drain with internal pull-up not present (AH9249 variant includes it).
It operates across –40°C to +85°C with supply voltage tolerance up to 7 V absolute max, and features ESD robustness of 200 V (MM). The device enters sleep mode automatically after ~90–120 ms of no magnetic activity, resuming full sensitivity within 150 µs upon field detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.5 V to 5.5 V - supports single-cell Li-ion, alkaline, or coin-cell power rails without regulation. |
| Sleep Current (ISL) | 6–10 µA - enables multi-year battery life in infrequently activated sensors (e.g., clamshell lid detection). |
| Omnipolar BOP | ±30–55 G - activates on either pole orientation, simplifying mechanical magnet placement in consumer enclosures. |
| Hysteresis (BHYS) | ≥10 G - prevents chatter during slow or noisy magnetic transitions near threshold. |
| Awake Mode Time (tAW) | 150 µs max - ensures responsive wake-up for real-time user interaction (e.g., PDA cover-open event). |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and extended-temperature portable environments. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible pull-up voltage selection and wired-OR interfacing with microcontroller GPIO. |
Pinout & Package
AH9248NTR-G1 is packaged in SOT-23-3 - a 2.9 mm × 2.8 mm surface-mount package with gull-wing leads, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in handheld devices.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (SOT-23-3) | VCC | Positive supply input - must be decoupled with ≥10 nF ceramic capacitor near pin for chopper noise immunity. |
| 2 (SOT-23-3) | OUTPUT | Open-drain output - sinks current when active (low); requires external pull-up for logic-high state. |
| 3 (SOT-23-3) | GND | Analog/digital ground reference - shared return path for Hall sensor, amplifier, and output driver. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Micropower Sleep Mode | 6–10 µA quiescent current - extends battery life in intermittent-sensing applications like notebook lid switches. |
| Chopper Stabilization | 15 kHz chopping frequency - eliminates offset drift and improves BOP/BRP stability over temperature and time. |
| Omnipolar Magnetic Response | No polarity dependency - eliminates need for magnet orientation control during assembly, reducing manufacturing cost. |
| Wide Supply Range | 2.5–5.5 V operation - compatible with unregulated battery sources across product generations without redesign. |
| RoHS/Green Compliance | Lead-free, halogen- and antimony-free - meets global environmental compliance requirements for consumer electronics. |
Applications
| Cover Switch in Notebook PC/PDA | Handheld Wireless Awake Switch |
|---|---|

Use Value: Reduces average system current by >99% versus always-on Hall sensors, enabling months of shelf-life in shipped devices. |
| Magnet Switch in Low Duty Cycle Applications | Industrial Panel Door Interlock |
Use Scenario: Monitoring access panel status in battery-powered IoT gateways or remote telemetry units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Omnipolar latch detecting presence/absence of a fixed magnet mounted on hinged enclosure. Use Value: Eliminates mechanical switch wear and contact bounce while maintaining <10 µA system idle current under ambient temperature variation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar omnipolar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AH1808 | Lower sensitivity (BOP ±60 G), no sleep mode - fixed 3.5 mA operating current. | Not suitable for ultra-low-power or battery-critical designs; better for cost-sensitive, always-on systems. | Select AH1808 only if continuous sensing is required and average current >3 mA is acceptable. |
| HAL1506 | Higher supply range (2.7–24 V), integrated pull-up, but 25 µA sleep current - 2.5× higher than AH9248. | Targeted at automotive body electronics; less optimal for compact consumer devices due to larger SOIC-8 footprint. | Prefer HAL1506 only when wide-input voltage tolerance or built-in pull-up simplifies BOM in 12 V systems. |
Compared with AH1808 and HAL1506, AH9248NTR-G1 uniquely balances ultra-low sleep current (6–10 µA), omnipolar response, and SOT-23-3 footprint - making it the only choice for space- and energy-constrained portable applications requiring latched, polarity-agnostic switching.

FAQ
Is AH9248NTR-G1 pin-compatible with AH9248Z3-G1 or AH9248DNTR-G1?
Yes - all AH9248 variants share identical pin numbering (VCC, OUTPUT, GND) and functional behavior. However, package dimensions differ: SOT-23-3 (AH9248NTR-G1), TO-92S-3 (Z3), and DFN-2×2-3 (DNTR). PCB layout and thermal design must match the specific package's footprint and soldering profile.
Does AH9248NTR-G1 include an internal pull-up resistor on the OUTPUT pin?
No - AH9248NTR-G1 has an open-drain output without internal pull-up. The AH9249 variant includes a built-in pull-up. For AH9248NTR-G1, an external pull-up resistor (typically 10–100 kΩ to VCC) is required to establish a valid logic-high level at the output node.
What is the maximum magnetic field the AH9248NTR-G1 can withstand without damage?
The AH9248NTR-G1 has no specified magnetic field damage limit - its magnetic characteristics are guaranteed from ±55 G (BOP) to unlimited Gauss per Absolute Maximum Ratings. Permanent demagnetization or sensor saturation is not observed below 10,000 G, and typical application fields remain well under 200 G.
Why is AH9248 marked "NRND" (Not Recommended for New Design)?
Diodes Incorporated classifies AH9248 as NRND due to newer-generation alternatives (e.g., AH9250) offering improved sensitivity, lower sleep current, or enhanced ESD rating. However, AH9248NTR-G1 remains fully manufactured, stocked, and supported for legacy design continuity and cost-sensitive volume applications where its specifications meet requirements.
