Product details
Overview
MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP from Melexis is an absolute rotary position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, delivering 12-bit angular resolution and ±10-bit thermal accuracy over -40°C to +125°C. It supports pre-programmed digital output (PPD), operates in SOIC-8 package, and senses end-of-shaft dipole magnet rotation contactlessly via integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) for robust airgap and off-axis tolerance in automotive throttle and pedal position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its PPD factory configuration, 14-bit serial protocol output, programmable clamping and linearity, dual-die isolation capability (not applicable to this SOIC-8 variant), and SPI-compatible 3-wire interface with /SS, SCLK, and MOSI/MISO.
Technical Context
The MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP implements a monolithic Triaxis® architecture with on-chip DSP performing real-time rectangular-to-polar conversion of VX/VY magnetic field components. Its IMC enables high immunity to mechanical misalignment, supporting up to 360° absolute angular measurement with user-defined transfer characteristics including offset, gain, deadzone, and clamping.
This variant is pre-programmed for digital output mode (PPD), delivering 14-bit angle data via SPI at up to 1 kHz update rate, with built-in diagnostics including broken VDD/VSS detection, watchdog timer (5 ms), and configurable filter settings (FILTER = 5 default). It uses a 16-bit RISC microcontroller core running at 20 MHz (5 MIPS), backed by 10 KB ROM, 256 B RAM, and 128 B EEPROM for calibration storage.

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-ABD-000-SP | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with full hardware redundancy; 16-bit resolution; supports ASIL-D via lockstep operation | Required for safety-critical steering angle sensing where fault coverage >90% is mandated | Select when functional safety certification (ISO 26262) is required; not pin-compatible with SOIC-8 MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit contactless encoder with integrated magnet; SPI/I²C interface; no IMC; lower temperature grade (-40°C to +105°C) | Suitable for cost-sensitive industrial controls where extended temperature range is not needed | Choose for simplified BOM (integrated magnet) and dual-interface flexibility; lacks MLX90316's programmable clamping and diagnostic depth |
Compared with MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP, the MLX90363 offers hardware redundancy and higher safety integrity but requires PCB redesign for TSSOP-16, while the AS5055A provides easier layout and dual-protocol support at the expense of thermal range and field-programmable transfer function capability.

FAQ
What output modes does the MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP support?
The MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP is factory pre-programmed for Serial Protocol (SPI) output only, delivering 14-bit angle data via MOSI/MISO, SCLK, and /SS pins. It does not support analog or PWM modes out-of-box; reprogramming requires Melexis PTC-04 and valid license. The PPD configuration fixes output format, clamping levels (CLAMP_HIGH=10%, CLAMP_LOW=90%), and FILTER=5.
Does MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP include built-in diagnostics?
Yes, MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP integrates multiple diagnostics: broken VDD/VSS detection, watchdog timeout (5 ms), EEPROM CRC validation, and configurable diagnostic flags. These operate autonomously without host intervention and report status via dedicated bits in SPI response frames. No external circuitry is needed to meet basic functional safety requirements for ASIL-B systems.
What is the role of the Integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC) in MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP?
The IMC in MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP is a ferromagnetic structure on the die surface that concentrates horizontal magnetic flux components from an end-of-shaft dipole magnet. This enables precise VX/VY vector measurement with high signal-to-noise ratio, allowing ±0.5 mm airgap tolerance and insensitivity to radial misalignment-key for reliable operation in automotive suspension and pedal assemblies.
Can MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP be used in ASIL-B compliant designs?
Yes, MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP supports ASIL-B compliance through its diagnostic features (broken supply detection, watchdog, EEPROM CRC), 125°C operation, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification. System-level ASIL-B requires proper integration-including SPI frame CRC checking, diagnostic result monitoring, and fail-safe state handling-but the MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP provides all necessary on-chip building blocks.
What programming tools are required to modify MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP configuration?
Reprogramming the MLX90316KDC-BCG-300-SP requires Melexis' PTC-04 programming unit and MLX Configuration Studio software. The device communicates exclusively via its SPI pins (VDD, VSS, /SS, SCLK, MOSI/MISO); no JTAG or debug interface is available. Factory PPD settings can be overwritten, but lock bits (MLXLOCK/LOCK) may prevent further changes unless cleared during initial programming.
