AH173 is a single-digital-output Hall-Effect latch sensor with
pull-up resistor for high temperature operation. The device
includes an on-chip Hall voltage generator for magnetic
sensing, an amplifier to amplify Hall voltage, a comparator to
provide switching hysteresis for noise rejection, and an
output driver with a pull-up resistor (Rpu). An internal bandgap regulator provides a temperature compensated supply
voltage for internal circuits and allows a wide operating
supply range.
When the magnetic flux density (B) is larger than operate
point (Bop), output is switched on (OUT pin is pulled low).
The output state is held on until a magnetic flux density
reversal falls below Brp. When B is less than Brp, the output
is switched off.
The AH173 is available in SIP-3L and SC59 packages.

Diodes Incorporated products are specifically not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems without
the express written approval of the Chief Executive Officer of Diodes Incorporated. As used herein:
A. Life support devices or systems are devices or systems which:
1. are intended to implant into the body, or
2. support or sustain life and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided
in the labeling can be reasonably expected to result in significant injury to the user.
B. A critical component is any component in a life support device or system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected
to cause the failure of the life support device or to affect its safety or effectiveness.
Customers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their life support dev ices or
systems, and acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning their products and any use of Diodes Incorporated products in such safety-critical, life support devices or systems,
notwithstanding any devices- or systems-related information or support that may be provided by Diodes Incorporated. Further,
