Product details
Overview
MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP from Melexis is an absolute rotary position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, delivering 12-bit angular resolution and ±1° thermal accuracy over –40°C to +125°C. It supports ratiometric analog, PWM, or SPI serial output modes and features programmable transfer characteristics for end-of-line calibration in steering wheel, throttle, and pedal position sensing applications.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, calibrated angular range up to 360°, magnetic field tolerance (±700 mT), and confirmed dual-die redundancy option compatibility.
Technical Context
The MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP integrates a monolithic Triaxis® sensor with on-chip IMC (Integrated Magneto-Concentrator) to detect the horizontal component of a rotating dipole magnet's flux, enabling contactless angular measurement. Its DSP processes raw sine/cosine signals from the Hall front-end with 15-bit ADC resolution in slow mode and executes real-time angular calculation using CoRDiC algorithms.
Output is configurable via EEPROM-programmable parameters including CLOCKWISE polarity, discontinuity point, LNR linearization coefficients, clamping thresholds, and filter settings (FIR/IIR). The device operates in either slow mode (7 MHz clock, 600 μs sampling) or fast mode (20 MHz clock, 200 μs sampling), with built-in diagnostics covering broken VDD/VSS detection and switch-out hysteresis control.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute rotary position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90363KGO-100-SP | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with full hardware redundancy; includes second SPI channel and independent diagnostics | Required for ASIL-D systems where functional safety mandates physical separation of sensing paths | Select when dual-die fault tolerance is mandated; not pin-compatible with MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP |
| AS5055A-DSOM | 14-bit resolution, SPI-only interface, no analog/PWM output; uses different magnetic coupling geometry (side-shaft) | Suitable for space-constrained PCB layouts but lacks programmable transfer function and IMC-based mechanical tolerance compensation | Choose for higher resolution where magnetic architecture permits side-mount magnet placement |
Compared with MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP, the MLX90363KGO-100-SP adds hardware-level redundancy at the cost of larger footprint and higher BOM cost, while the AS5055A-DSOM trades programmability and mechanical robustness for finer angular quantization in non-automotive contexts.

FAQ
What is the maximum angular range supported by the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP?
The MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP supports a fully programmable absolute angular range up to 360 degrees, enabling complete revolution measurement without ambiguity. This range is implemented via on-chip DSP processing of sine/cosine magnetic field components and can be configured during end-of-line calibration to match specific mechanical travel limits.
Does the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP require external magnetics for operation?
Yes, the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP requires an external diametrically magnetized dipole magnet positioned above its surface (end-of-shaft configuration). The integrated IMC focuses the magnetic flux to enable accurate horizontal field detection; no additional concentrators or shielding are needed for standard operation within 20–70 mT field strength.
Can the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP output both analog and PWM signals simultaneously?
No, the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP supports only one active output mode at a time-either ratiometric analog, PWM, or SPI serial-as selected during programming. The output mode is stored in EEPROM and persists across power cycles; simultaneous dual-output is not supported in the SOIC-8 single-die configuration.
What is the purpose of the Test 0 and Test 1 pins on the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP?
The Test 0 and Test 1 pins on the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP are factory test interfaces used during wafer sort and final test. For normal operation, both pins must be connected to VSS (ground) to ensure proper internal biasing and EMC performance; leaving them floating may cause erratic behavior or increased radiated emissions.
Is the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MLX90316KDC-BCG-000-SP carries K-grade temperature rating (–40°C to +125°C) and is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 standards. It includes built-in diagnostics, failsafe output states, and robust magnetic tolerance-making it suitable for critical automotive applications including steering angle, throttle, and brake pedal position sensing.
