Diodes Incorporated | AH180-WG-7

Diodes Incorporated designs, manufactures and markets high-quality discrete and analog semiconductor application-specific standard products with focus on high-growth applications in the consumer electronics, computing, communications, industrial and automotive markets.

Diodes' analog products include Hall Effect sensor integrated circuits for position and speed detection and, through acquisition of Zetex Inc., a comprehensive range of magnetoresistive sensors (with or without an internal magnet) for linear and angular position measurement.

AH180 – Micropower Omnipolar Hall-Effect Sensor Switch

AH180 integrates two Hall Effect plates and an open-drain output driver, mainly designed for battery-operation, hand-held equipment (such as Cellular and Cordless Phone, PDA). The total power consumption in normal operation is typically 24μW with a 3V power source.

Either north or south pole of sufficient strength will turn the output ON (Low). The output will be turned OFF (High) under no magnetic field. While the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than operating point (Bop), the output will be turned ON (Low), the output is held until B is lower than release point (Brp), and then turned OFF (High).

The AH180 is rated for operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C. To accommodate different printed circuit board assembly needs the AH180 is offered in both through-hole (SIP-3L) and surface mount (SC59-3L, DFN2020-6, DFN2020-3) device type packages.

The AH180-WG-7 is a SC59-3L Micropower Omnipolar Hall-Effect Sensor Switch that comes in a 3000 piece reel.
