Product details
Overview
US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE from Melexis is a bipolar Hall-effect switch in TSOT-23L package, designed for high-sensitivity magnetic detection with ±4.5 mT operating/release points, 3.5–24 V supply range, and open-drain output. It enables solid-state switching in BLDC motor commutation, angular position sensing, and automotive proximity detection under harsh thermal conditions (−40°C to +150°C).
For engineers reviewing the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include bipolar latching behavior, chopper-stabilized offset cancellation, RoHS-compliant TSOT-23L packaging, and validated performance across automotive temperature ranges.
Technical Context
The US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE integrates a Hall sensor, chopper-stabilized amplifier, Schmitt trigger, and open-drain driver in mixed-signal CMOS. Its dynamic offset cancellation enables stable operation with weak magnets or large air gaps, while symmetric BOP/BRP (±0.5–±4.5 mT) supports true bipolar latching behavior.
This device operates as a magnetic memory: output retains state after field removal, with hysteresis (1.5–6 mT) preventing oscillation near thresholds. It supports both three-wire and two-wire configurations, and its 2.6 mA typical supply current at 25°C enables low-power embedded sensing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.5 V to 24 V - supports direct connection to automotive battery rails and industrial 24 V systems without external regulation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive use and high-temp industrial environments. |
| Magnetic BOP / BRP | ±0.5 mT to ±4.5 mT (typ) - enables reliable switching with low-strength magnets or >1 mm air gaps. |
| Output Type | Open-drain - allows flexible pull-up to any logic voltage (e.g., 3.3 V or 5 V) and wired-OR interfacing. |
| Supply Current | 2.6 mA (typ) at 25°C - reduces system power budget in always-on sensing applications. |
| Output Saturation Voltage | 0.5 V max at 20 mA - ensures clean low-state signaling into standard logic inputs or MOSFET gates. |
| Hysteresis | 1.5–6 mT - prevents chatter during slow or noisy magnetic transitions, critical for speed and position accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE uses the TSOT-23L (Melexis package code "SE") - a thin, RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with 0.95 mm height and 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm footprint. Sensitive spot located 0.275 mm below top surface, centered between pins 1 and 2.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Supply input - accepts 3.5–24 V; requires local 100 nF bypass capacitor to GND for noise immunity. |
| 2 | OUT | Open-drain output - sinks up to 50 mA; requires external pull-up resistor for logic-level signaling. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference - must be low-impedance return path; shared with bypass capacitor and pull-up resistor. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bipolar latching operation | Outputs retain state after magnetic field removal - enables non-volatile position memory without microcontroller polling. |
| Chopper-stabilized amplifier | Eliminates inherent Hall sensor offset drift - ensures stable BOP/BRP over temperature and lifetime, reducing calibration overhead. |
| Wide supply range (3.5–24 V) | Direct compatibility with 12 V automotive systems and 24 V industrial PLCs - eliminates need for external LDO or DC-DC converter. |
| RoHS-compliant TSOT-23L | 0.95 mm profile enables compact PCB layouts in space-constrained modules like motor control boards and brake sensors. |
| Low 2.6 mA supply current | Extends battery life in portable tools and enables thermally constrained designs - junction temp rise limited to <10°C at 25°C ambient. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bipolar Hall switch applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Allegro A1120EUA-T | Wider BOP/BRP spread (±5.5 mT), higher 5.5 mA supply current, TO-92 only - no TSOT option. | Limited to through-hole assembly; less suitable for high-density motor control PCBs requiring surface mount. | Choose when legacy TO-92 layout exists and higher magnetic sensitivity margin is required. |
| Diodes Inc. AH9223G-GU-AB | Unipolar operation only (south-pole active), 3.3–26 V supply, 3.5 mA typical IDD - lacks bipolar latching. | Cannot retain state after field removal; unsuitable for angular position memory or latch-based commutation. | Choose only for simple presence detection where unipolar response suffices and cost is primary constraint. |
Compared with A1120EUA-T and AH9223G-GU-AB, US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE uniquely combines TSOT-23L surface-mount compatibility, true bipolar latching, and automotive-grade temperature range - enabling compact, robust, and memory-capable magnetic sensing in next-gen motor and vehicle systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE?
The US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE is rated for −40°C to +150°C continuous operation, matching the "L" temperature suffix in its part number. This specification is validated per Melexis datasheet revision 017 (March 2025) and qualifies the device for under-hood automotive applications such as engine camshaft or transmission speed sensing where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Does the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE support latching behavior, and how does it differ from unipolar Hall switches?
Yes, the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE exhibits true bipolar latching behavior: its output remains in the last state after magnetic field removal, toggling only upon detection of opposite-polarity fields. Unlike unipolar switches (e.g., AH9223G-GU-AB), which reset to high impedance when the field vanishes, US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE maintains magnetic memory - essential for angular position tracking and commutation sequencing without continuous polling.
What package type does the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE use, and what are its key mechanical dimensions?
The US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE uses the TSOT-23L (Thin Small Outline Transistor, 3-lead) package - Melexis package code "SE". Its footprint measures 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm with 0.95 mm maximum height. Pin 1 (VDD) and pin 2 (OUT) are spaced 0.95 mm apart; the sensitive Hall element lies 0.275 mm below the top surface, centered between these pins per datasheet section 16.1.2.
Can the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE operate directly from a 24 V industrial supply without external regulation?
Yes, the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE supports 3.5 V to 24 V supply voltage per its absolute maximum rating (28 V) and electrical specifications. At 24 V, typical supply current remains 2.6 mA, and output saturation voltage stays ≤0.5 V at 20 mA sink - confirming full functionality across the entire 24 V rail without external regulators or Zener clamps, provided a 100 nF bypass capacitor is placed at the VDD pin.
What is the magnetic sensitivity specification of the US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE, and how is it defined?
The US2881LSE-AAA-000-RE has a typical operating point (BOP) of ±4.5 mT and release point (BRP) of ∓4.5 mT at 25°C, with guaranteed minimums of ±0.5 mT. These values define the magnetic flux density at which the output switches ON/OFF when applied to the branded side of the package. Sensitivity is confirmed across temperature (−40°C to +150°C) and supply voltage (3.5–24 V), enabling reliable detection with low-strength magnets or large air gaps.
