AH3712Q
AUTOMOTIVE HIGH-VOLTAGE, HIGH-SENSITIVITY HALL-EFFECT LATCH
Description
Pin Assignments
The DIODES AH3712Q is an AEC-Q100 qualified, high-voltage, high-
sensitivity, Hall-effect latch IC designed for brushless DC-motor
commutation, speed measurement, angular/linear encoders, and
position sensors in automotive applications. To support a wide range
of demanding applications, the design is optimized to operate over
the 3.0V to 27V supply range. With chopper-stabilized architecture
and an internal bandgap regulator providing temperature-
compensated supply for internal circuits, the AH3712Q provides a
reliable solution over the whole operating range. For robustness and
protection, the device has a reverse blocking diode with a Zener
clamp on the supply, and the output has an overcurrent limit and a
Zener clamp.

The single, open-drain output can be switched on with the South pole
with sufficient strength, and switched off with the North pole with
sufficient strength. When the magnetic flux density (B) perpendicular
to the package is larger than the operate point (BOP) the output is
switched on (pulled low). The output is held latched until magnetic flux
density reverses and becomes lower than the release point (BRP).

The magnetic operating and release polarity is opposite for the
SOT23 and SC59 packages. For operation, the SOT23, SIP-3 (Bulk),
and U-DFN2020-6/SWP packages require the south pole to the part-
marking side, and the SC59 requires the south pole to the non-part-
marking side.
