Product details
Overview
ATS177-PG-A-B from Diodes Incorporated is a bipolar Hall-effect latch sensor for brushless DC motor commutation, featuring 3.5–20 V operation, -40°C to +125°C operating range, 25 mA sink current, and open-collector DO output. It integrates Hall plate, amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and bandgap regulator for magnetic flux sensing and noise-immune switching in fan and motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the ATS177-PG-A-B datasheet, ATS177-PG-A-B pinout, ATS177-PG-A-B application, or ATS177-PG-A-B equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release points (Bop/Brp), output saturation voltage (VCE(sat) ≤ 700 mV), thermal derating curve, reverse polarity protection, and SIP-3L package compatibility with BLDC rotor position sensing.
Technical Context
The ATS177-PG-A-B implements a monolithic Hall latch architecture with built-in temperature-compensated bandgap regulator, enabling stable operation across 3.5–20 V supply and -40°C to +125°C ambient. Its Schmitt-triggered comparator provides 80 Gauss hysteresis (Bhy) to reject EMI-induced false triggering during motor commutation.
Magnetic switching is polarity-sensitive: south-pole field > +5 Gauss (Bop) pulls DO low; reversal to < –5 Gauss (Brp) releases DO high. The open-collector output interfaces directly with NPN pre-driver stages, as shown in the typical application circuit driving dual-NPN fan control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5 V to 20 V - supports 12 V and 24 V BLDC systems without external regulation |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA max - drives standard NPN transistor bases or logic-level inputs directly |
| Bop / Brp (A grade) | +5 to +70 G / –70 to –5 G - enables reliable rotor pole detection with margin against mechanical misalignment |
| VCE(sat) | ≤ 700 mV @ 20 mA - ensures low power loss and minimal heating in continuous switching |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive fans and industrial motor controllers |
| Reverse Polarity Protection | Integrated - eliminates need for external series diode in battery-powered applications |
| Rise/Fall Time | 0.3–1.5 µs - supports commutation frequencies up to ~300 kHz in high-speed fans |
Pinout & Package
ATS177-PG-A-B is housed in a SIP-3L (Single In-line Package, 3-lead) with gull-wing leads, green molding compound, and branded top surface indicating active area location. Lead pitch is 2.54 mm; body width 1.15 mm; total length 2.00 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc (Pin 1) | Positive supply input | Accepts 3.5–20 V; powers internal regulator, Hall plate, and comparator |
| GND (Pin 2) | Ground reference | Common return for supply and output stage; must be low-impedance path |
| DO (Pin 3) | Digital open-collector output | Sinks up to 25 mA; requires external pull-up to define logic-high level |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latch operation | Requires magnetic polarity reversal to toggle - prevents unintended state changes in static fields |
| Integrated bandgap regulator | Enables wide supply range without external LDO - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| 80 Gauss magnetic hysteresis | Rejects noise from motor EMI and vibration - ensures clean edge transitions during commutation |
| SIP-3L green package | RoHS-compliant, lead-free, and halogen-free - meets EU Directive 2002/95/EC exemptions |
| Reverse polarity protection | Withstands –20 V on Vcc - protects against battery misconnection in automotive and portable systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall latch sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A3291LUA-T | Higher Bop (15–110 G), wider temp range (–40°C to +150°C), but no reverse polarity protection | Preferred for high-temp industrial actuators where reverse protection is handled externally | Select when higher magnetic sensitivity and extended junction temperature are required |
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-001-SP | Lower supply range (3.5–24 V), integrated Zener clamp, but 15 mA max sink current | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer fans where lower drive strength suffices | Choose when system-level ESD/Zener protection exists and 25 mA sink is not needed |
Compared with A3291LUA-T and US1881EUA-ABA-001-SP, ATS177-PG-A-B uniquely combines reverse polarity protection, 25 mA sink capability, and SIP-3L footprint-making it optimal for space-constrained, battery-connected BLDC fan modules requiring robustness without added protection components.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for ATS177-PG-A-B operation?
The ATS177-PG-A-B is a bipolar latch: it turns ON when exposed to a south pole field exceeding +5 Gauss (Bop) and remains ON until a south pole field drops below –5 Gauss (Brp). North pole exposure does not activate the device. This behavior is confirmed in the magnetic characteristics table for A-grade devices in DS31055 Rev. 6–2.
Can ATS177-PG-A-B drive a MOSFET gate directly?
No-ATS177-PG-A-B has an open-collector NPN output rated for 25 mA sink current and 30 V OFF-state voltage, but lacks sufficient peak current and voltage swing to charge/discharge MOSFET gates rapidly. It is designed to interface with NPN transistor bases or logic-level inputs, as shown in the typical application circuit using Q1/Q2 pre-drivers.
Is the SIP-3L package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-ATS177-PG-A-B uses a green molding compound (no Br or Sb) and is fully RoHS compliant per EU Directive 2002/95/EC, with all applicable exemptions applied. The "G" in the part number suffix explicitly denotes Green (lead-free) packaging, verified in the Ordering Information section of DS31055.
How does temperature affect the magnetic operate point (Bop)?
Bop decreases linearly with rising temperature: from +70 Gauss at –40°C to +5 Gauss at +125°C, as shown in the "Typical Magnetic Switch Point vs. Temperature" plot (DS31055 p.5). Designers must ensure mechanical air gap and magnet strength provide ≥2× Bop margin at maximum operating temperature to prevent commutation failure.
