Product details
Overview
MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU from Melexis is a Triaxis® absolute rotary position sensor IC for end-of-shaft dipole magnet sensing, delivering 14-bit serial (SPI), 12-bit analog ratiometric, or 12-bit PWM angular output with ±0.3° thermal accuracy over –40°C to +125°C and programmable 0–360° range. It integrates IMC-based magnetic front-end, on-chip DSP, EEPROM, and diagnostics for automotive throttle, pedal, and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (TSSOP-16 dual-die), confirmed SPI/Analog/PWM output modes, calibrated transfer function parameters, diagnostic capabilities including broken-track detection, and real-world use cases in safety-critical vehicle subsystems.
Technical Context
The MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU implements Triaxis® sensing using an integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) to detect horizontal magnetic field components from an end-of-shaft dipole magnet, enabling robust angular measurement across mechanical airgap and off-axis tolerances. Its dual-die TSSOP-16 architecture provides full redundancy with isolated VDD1/VSS1 and VDD2/VSS2 domains.
On-chip 16-bit RISC DSP processes raw sine/cosine ADC data (14-bit fast mode, 15-bit slow mode) into absolute angle, supports end-of-line calibration of offset, gain, clamping, linearity, and filtering via PTC-04 programmer, and delivers output via three selectable protocols: ratiometric analog (VOUT), PWM (FPWM = 100–1000 Hz), or 14-bit SPI (MOSI/MISO/SCLK/SS).
Key Specifications

| Supply Current | 13.5 mA typical (fast mode, dual-die), 2× single-die current due to redundancy |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 dual-die package with fully redundant signal paths, RoHS-compliant, 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm footprint, 1.2 mm height, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 marked by dot; pins 4, 6, 8, 12, 14 are test points; unused pins must be grounded for EMC compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 11 | VDD1 / VDD2 | Independent power supply inputs for die 1 and die 2; each requires local 100 nF decoupling |

| 6, 14 | SCLK1 / SCLK2 | Serial clock inputs for SPI per die; supports daisy-chain or parallel timing control |
| 7, 16 | MOSI1/MISO1 / MOSI2/MISO2 | Shared bidirectional data line per die; supports full-duplex SPI reads/writes with status feedback |
| 9 | VDIG2 | Digital supply for die 2's logic and SPI interface; separate from analog VDD2 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® IMC Sensing | Enables contactless, high-tolerance angular measurement using only a small dipole magnet mounted end-of-shaft |

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-ABG-300-TU | Higher 16-bit SPI resolution (0.0055°/LSB), integrated temperature sensor, same TSSOP-16 dual-die package | Required for applications needing <±0.1° total angular error or closed-loop thermal compensation | Choose when higher resolution and on-chip temperature data justify cost premium over MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU |
| AS5055A-DSOT | Single-die 14-bit SPI-only output, SOIC-8 package, no analog/PWM modes, lower temp grade (–40°C to +125°C) | Suitable for space-constrained non-redundant designs where SPI interface suffices and dual-die redundancy is unnecessary | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where packaging size and protocol simplicity outweigh redundancy needs |
Compared with MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU, MLX90363KGO-ABG-300-TU adds thermal sensing and finer angular quantization but lacks programmable analog/PWM outputs; AS5055A-DSOT reduces footprint and cost but removes redundancy, diagnostics, and multi-protocol flexibility essential for automotive ASIL-B systems.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU support?
The MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU supports three user-selectable output protocols: ratiometric analog voltage (0.1–4.9 V), PWM (100–1000 Hz, 12-bit resolution), and 3-wire SPI (14-bit angle + status flags). All modes are configured via EEPROM programming using the PTC-04 tool; the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU ships pre-programmed for digital (PPD) mode with SPI enabled by default.
Does the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU include built-in diagnostics?
Yes, the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU integrates multiple hardware-level diagnostics: broken-VDD and broken-VSS detection, watchdog timer (5 ms timeout), configurable clamping/hysteresis, and SPI status flags for communication errors. These features are active in all output modes and require no external components, supporting ISO 26262 functional safety requirements up to ASIL-B.
What is the angular accuracy specification of the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU over temperature?
The MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU achieves ±0.3° total angular error over –40°C to +125°C, combining thermal offset drift (<±60 LSB15 at DSP input), DAC/output stage drift (<±0.3%VDD), and sensitivity mismatch drift (<±0.3%). This value reflects worst-case deviation after factory calibration and applies to both analog and SPI outputs under specified magnetic conditions (20–70 mT).
How is redundancy implemented in the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU?
The MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU uses a true dual-die architecture in TSSOP-16: two physically separate silicon dies share one package but have independent VDD1/VSS1 and VDD2/VSS2 power domains, isolated signal paths (OUT1/OUT2, SCLK1/SCLK2, MOSI1/MISO1 etc.), and separate EEPROM memory. This enables full channel independence required for ASIL-B/C fault-tolerant designs without shared failure modes.
Can the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU be reprogrammed in-system?
Yes, the MLX90316KGO-BCG-300-TU supports in-system programming via its SPI interface using the Melexis PTC-04 programmer. All configurable parameters-including output mode, transfer function (offset/gain/clamp), filter coefficients, diagnostic thresholds, and 40-bit ID-can be rewritten through VDD/VSS/OUT pins without removing the device from the PCB, enabling field calibration and firmware updates.
