Product details
Overview
ATS137-PG-B-A from Diodes Incorporated is a single-pole, unipolar Hall-effect switch IC in SIP-3L package, operating from 3.5V to 20V with −20°C to +85°C ambient range, 25mA max sink output current, and magnetic operate/release points of 130G/10G (B-grade). It serves as a contactless position sensor in cover detection and appliance safety interlocks.
For engineers reviewing the ATS137-PG-B-A datasheet, ATS137-PG-B-A pinout, ATS137-PG-B-A application, or ATS137-PG-B-A equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic sensitivity grade (B), open-collector drive capability, reverse polarity protection, temperature-compensated switching hysteresis, and SIP-3L lead-free packaging compliance.
Technical Context
The ATS137 integrates a Hall voltage generator, chopper-stabilized amplifier, Schmitt trigger with 80G hysteresis, and open-collector NPN pre-driver-enabling noise-immune digital switching without external components. Its bandgap-regulated internal supply ensures stable operation across 3.5–20V input.
Designed for unipolar south-pole activation only, it delivers 300–700mV saturation voltage at 20mA sink load and <0.1µA leakage when off. Magnetic thresholds are specified at 25°C but vary with temperature and supply voltage per datasheet Note 7.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5V to 20V DC - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery systems without external regulation |
| Output Type | Open-collector NPN - requires external pull-up; enables wired-OR logic and interface with 3.3V/5V/12V logic families |
| Sink Current | 25mA maximum - directly drives LEDs, small relays, or microcontroller inputs without buffer transistors |
| Magnetic Sensitivity | B-grade: Bop ≤130G, Brp ≥10G - optimized for robust detection in high-interference home appliance environments |
| Operating Temp | −20°C to +85°C - validated for interior use in refrigerators, microwaves, and DVD loaders |
| Protection Features | Reverse polarity protection up to −20V - prevents damage during incorrect power connection in field service |
| Package | SIP-3L (3-pin single-inline) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles; 2.0mm × 1.15mm footprint |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3L package: 3-pin single-inline plastic package with gull-wing leads, branded top surface, and active Hall element located beneath pin 1 (Vcc) per datasheet Figure 10.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Positive power supply input | Supplies internal regulator and sensing circuitry; accepts 3.5–20V DC with reverse polarity tolerance |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for supply current and output sink current; must be low-impedance for stable hysteresis |
| DO | Digital output (open-collector) | Sinks up to 25mA when activated by south-pole magnetic field ≥130G; floats high when inactive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Temperature compensation | Internal circuitry maintains consistent Bop/Brp over −20°C to +85°C, reducing calibration drift in appliances |
| Wide voltage operation | 3.5–20V supply range eliminates need for external LDO in 12V battery or 5V logic systems |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands −20V on Vcc - protects against accidental reverse connection during manufacturing or field repair |
| Lead-free & RoHS compliant | SIP-3L package uses green molding compound (no Br/Sb) and lead-free finish per EU Directive 2002/95/EC |
| High ESD immunity | Qualified to >4kV HBM - survives handling and assembly without additional protection circuitry |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A3212LLHLT-T | SC-59 package; 2.5–24V supply; 5mA max sink; ±10G hysteresis; bipolar latching operation | Requires bipolar magnet actuation; unsuitable for unipolar-only designs like cover detectors | Select only if latching behavior and wider voltage range outweigh reduced sink drive and different magnetic polarity requirement |
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-000-REEL | SOT-23 package; 3–24V supply; 50mA sink; 3.5G hysteresis; unipolar operation; higher sensitivity (Bop = 25G) | Higher sensitivity increases false-trigger risk near EMI sources; not rated for −20°C start-up | Prefer for low-field detection in controlled environments; avoid in refrigerator/freezer compartments below −15°C |
Compared with A3212LLHLT-T and US1881EUA-ABA-000-REEL, ATS137-PG-B-A offers optimal balance of 25mA drive strength, −20°C cold-start capability, and 130G operate point-making it uniquely suited for cost-sensitive, high-volume home appliance position sensing where unipolar activation and mechanical reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for ATS137-PG-B-A activation?
The ATS137-PG-B-A responds exclusively to south-pole magnetic fields applied to its branded top surface. North-pole exposure produces no switching action. Its B-grade specification requires ≥130 Gauss south-pole flux for turn-on and ≤10 Gauss for turn-off, with 80G hysteresis ensuring noise immunity.
Can ATS137-PG-B-A drive an LED directly without a series resistor?
No. Although it sinks up to 25mA, a current-limiting resistor is mandatory between Vcc and the LED anode to prevent excessive current and thermal stress. For a 14V supply and typical red LED (2.1V VF), a 470Ω resistor limits current to ~25mA while maintaining safe junction temperature in SIP-3L package.
Is ATS137-PG-B-A qualified for automotive under-hood applications?
No. Its −20°C to +85°C ambient rating and lack of AEC-Q200 qualification exclude it from under-hood use. It is designed for interior appliance and consumer electronics environments where ambient temperatures remain within this range and vibration/stress levels are moderate.
How does reverse polarity protection function in ATS137-PG-B-A?
An internal protection diode blocks current flow when Vcc is connected negative relative to GND, limiting reverse voltage to −20V maximum. This prevents latch-up or permanent damage during assembly errors or field servicing, eliminating need for external reverse-protection diodes in most designs.
