Product details
Overview
ATS177-PL-A-A 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 noise-immune magnetic switching in fan and motor control.
For engineers reviewing the ATS177-PL-A-A datasheet, ATS177-PL-A-A pinout, ATS177-PL-A-A application, or ATS177-PL-A-A equivalent, key selection criteria include magnetic operate/release points (Bop/Brp), output saturation voltage (≤700 mV @ 20 mA), temperature-compensated supply regulation, and SIP-3L package compatibility with BLDC pre-driver stages.
Technical Context
The ATS177 implements a monolithic Hall-effect latch with built-in hysteresis (≥80 Gauss) to prevent chatter during magnetic field transitions. Its internal bandgap regulator enables stable operation across 3.5–20 V supply while maintaining consistent Bop/Brp thresholds over temperature.
Magnetic sensing occurs via on-chip Hall plate; signal conditioning includes low-noise amplification and Schmitt-triggered digital output with open-collector topology. Reverse polarity protection and thermal derating (550 mW at 25°C, 0 mW at 150°C) support robust industrial deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5 V to 20 V DC - supports wide-input 12 V/24 V motor control rails without external regulation |
| Output Sink Current | 25 mA max - directly drives NPN transistor bases or logic-level inputs in BLDC gate driver stages |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive fans and industrial motor enclosures |
| Bop / Brp (A grade) | 5–70 G / -70–-5 G - provides reliable latching with ≥80 G hysteresis for mechanical vibration immunity |
| VCE(sat) | ≤700 mV @ 20 mA - ensures low power loss and minimal heating when sinking load current |
| Icc Supply Current | 5–10 mA @ 20 V - enables low-quiescent-power operation in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
Pinout & Package
SIP-3L (Single In-line Package, 3-pin, spread lead) with 2.00 mm ±0.10 mm body width, 1.15 mm ±0.10 mm height, and branded top surface indicating active area location.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power input | Supplies internal regulator and sensing circuitry; accepts 3.5–20 V with reverse polarity protection |
| GND | Reference ground | Return path for Hall plate, amplifier, and output stage; must be low-impedance for noise immunity |
| DO | Digital output | Open-collector output that sinks up to 25 mA; requires external pull-up for logic-high state |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar magnetic latching | Switches ON when south pole exceeds Bop (5–70 G), holds until south pole falls below Brp (-70 to -5 G) |
| Integrated bandgap regulator | Provides temperature-stable internal bias, enabling consistent Bop/Brp across -40°C to +125°C |
| Open-collector pre-driver output | Directly interfaces with NPN/PNP transistors or MOSFET gates without level-shifting components |
| Built-in reverse polarity protection | Withstands -20 V reverse VCC without damage-eliminates need for external series diode in 12 V/24 V systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Hall-effect latch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A3291LUA-T | Higher Bop (15–100 G), wider temp range (-40°C to +150°C), but no reverse polarity protection | Preferred for high-temp automotive actuators where external protection is already present | Select when extended junction temperature margin is critical and system-level reverse protection exists |
| Melexis US1881EUA-ABA-001-SP | Lower supply range (3.5–24 V), integrated pull-up, no open-collector flexibility | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer fans where board space limits external pull-up resistors | Choose when simplified BOM and reduced layout complexity outweigh need for configurable output drive |
Compared with A3291LUA-T and US1881EUA-ABA-001-SP, ATS177-PL-A-A uniquely combines reverse polarity protection, open-collector configurability, and A-grade magnetic thresholds optimized for mid-range BLDC motor control without requiring additional protection or level-shifting circuitry.

FAQ
What is the magnetic polarity requirement for ATS177-PL-A-A activation?
The ATS177-PL-A-A activates when a south pole approaches the branded side of the package with magnetic flux density exceeding the operate point (Bop = 5–70 Gauss for A grade). It releases only when the same south pole's field drops below the release point (Brp = -70 to -5 Gauss), ensuring true bipolar latching behavior without need for alternating poles.
Can ATS177-PL-A-A drive a MOSFET gate directly?
No - ATS177-PL-A-A has an open-collector output rated for 25 mA sink current and ≤700 mV saturation voltage, which is insufficient to charge/discharge typical MOSFET gate capacitance rapidly. It is designed as a pre-driver: use it to switch an NPN transistor (e.g., in the provided typical application circuit) that then drives the gate.
Is the SIP-3L package RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes - the "PL" in ATS177-PL-A-A denotes lead-free (Pb-free) construction, and the "A" suffix indicates green molding compound compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS), with all applicable exemptions applied per Diodes Incorporated's lead-free policy documentation.
How does temperature affect the magnetic switching points?
Bop and Brp exhibit minor negative temperature coefficients: typical drift is ≤0.1% per °C over -40°C to +125°C, verified in the datasheet's "Typical Magnetic Switch Point vs. Temperature" plot. The integrated bandgap regulator stabilizes internal bias, minimizing threshold shift compared to non-compensated Hall sensors.
