Product details
Overview
MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP from Melexis is a factory-trimmed linear Hall-effect sensor IC in TSOT-3L package, operating from 5 V ±10%, delivering 31.25 mV/mT sensitivity and 2000 ppm/°C magnet thermal drift compensation. It features ratiometric analog output (quiescent level = 50% VDD), 25 kHz signal bandwidth, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification for automotive position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade performance specs, and real-world design implications for linear/rotary position and current sensing systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP integrates a CMOS Hall plate with chopper-stabilized offset cancellation, voltage regulator, and rail-to-rail analog output driver. Its output voltage follows VOUT = VDD × (VOQREL + SREL × B), where VOQREL = 0.5 ±1% and SREL is factory trimmed to 31.25 mV/mT at 5 V.
This variant uses Z=2 magnet thermal compensation (2000 ppm/°C) optimized for ferrite magnets, enabling stable operation across −40°C to +150°C. Internal 900 kHz chopping enables high immunity to thermal drift and low-frequency noise without external filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - supports direct connection to standard automotive 5 V rails without external regulation |
| Sensitivity | 31.25 mV/mT @ 5 V - delivers 1.5625 V output swing per 50 mT field change, enabling high-resolution analog position decoding |
| Magnet TCS | 2000 ppm/°C - compensates ferrite magnet flux decay over temperature, maintaining <±1.5% linearity error across full range |
| Signal Bandwidth | 25 kHz - supports motor commutation up to 150 kRPM with ≤3.6° phase shift at 1 kHz |
| Power-On Time | 40–70 µs - enables micro-power gating in battery-operated systems with fast wake-up response |
| Output Quiescent Level | 50% VDD ±1% - simplifies ADC reference alignment and eliminates need for external biasing circuitry |

Pinout & Package
TSOT-3L surface-mount package (3.0 × 2.6 × 0.9 mm, RoHS-compliant), optimized for automated placement and high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Supply input | Accepts 5 V ±10%; internal regulator powers analog core; requires ≥0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| 2 (GND) | Ground reference | Low-impedance return path for Hall plate, regulator, and output driver; must be connected to clean system ground plane |
| 3 (OUT) | Analog output | Ratiometric voltage output (0.25–4.75 V at 5 V supply); drives loads up to 1 mA; compatible with 10 nF capacitive loading when RS = 50 Ω |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed sensitivity & TCS | Eliminates post-solder calibration; 31.25 mV/mT and 2000 ppm/°C are laser-trimmed during wafer test for guaranteed accuracy |
| Chopper-stabilized architecture | Reduces offset drift to <±25 mV over temperature, enabling stable zero-field output without external nulling circuitry |
| Ratiometric output | Output scales linearly with supply voltage - preserves measurement integrity even with ±10% VDD variation in automotive environments |
| Fast power-on time | Settles within 70 µs after VDD reaches 3.15 V - supports duty-cycled operation in energy-constrained systems |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive use including HTOL, TC, ESD (8 kV HBM), and mechanical shock testing per Grade 0 requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar linear Hall sensor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90290LSE-AAA-521-SP | Same 31.25 mV/mT sensitivity but 500 ppm/°C TCS instead of 2000 ppm/°C | Targeted for AlNiCo or samarium-cobalt magnets with lower thermal drift; unsuitable for ferrite-based designs | Select only when magnet material has known low TCD and ambient temperature range is limited to −20°C to +105°C |
| ALLEGRO A1308LLHLT-T | 3.3 V supply only; 2.5 mV/G (25 mV/mT) sensitivity; no factory TCS programming; ±1.5% linearity | Requires external 3.3 V LDO; lacks magnet-specific thermal compensation; suitable for cost-sensitive industrial position sensing | Choose when supply is fixed at 3.3 V and magnet type is unspecified; verify thermal drift budget exceeds 500 ppm/°C |
Compared with MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP, the -521-SP variant trades magnet-specific thermal compensation for broader compatibility with stable magnets, while the A1308 requires additional power conditioning and offers no factory-calibrated TCS - making the MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP uniquely suited for high-accuracy ferrite-magnet automotive position systems.

FAQ
What is the supply voltage range for MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP?
The MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V (5 V ±10%). It is not rated for 3.3 V operation - attempting to power it at 3.3 V will result in undefined output behavior and potential failure to meet AEC-Q100 specifications. The device's internal regulator and analog core are designed exclusively for 5 V nominal supply.
How does the 2000 ppm/°C TCS setting affect MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP performance?
The 2000 ppm/°C magnet thermal coefficient (TCS) in MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP actively compensates for the negative temperature coefficient of ferrite magnets. This ensures that the effective sensitivity remains stable across −40°C to +150°C, limiting total linearity error to ±1.5% - critical for automotive throttle and pedal position systems where magnet drift would otherwise cause significant measurement error.
Can MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP be used in current sensing applications?
Yes, MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP is routinely deployed in open-loop current sensing by measuring the magnetic field generated around a current-carrying conductor. Its 31.25 mV/mT sensitivity, ratiometric output, and ±5% sensitivity accuracy enable sub-1% current measurement error when paired with appropriate conductor geometry and shielding - confirmed in Melexis application note AN-018.
What is the maximum load capacitance supported by MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP?
The MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP supports up to 100 nF load capacitance on its OUT pin - but only when a 50 Ω series resistor (RS) is placed between the output and the capacitive load. Without RS, the recommended CL is ≤10 nF to ensure stability and prevent oscillation. This constraint is specified in Table 5 of the datasheet under "Load Capacitor Range".
Is MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90290 variants?
Yes, all MLX90290 variants in the TSOT-3L (SE) package - including MLX90290LSE-AAA-522-SP - share identical pinout (VDD, GND, OUT), footprint, and solder reflow profile. This allows drop-in replacement across sensitivity and TCS options without PCB redesign, provided the application's electrical and thermal requirements align with the selected variant.
