Product details
Overview
MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE from Melexis is an absolute rotary position sensor IC using Triaxis® Hall technology to detect angular position of an end-of-shaft dipole magnet with 12-bit resolution, ±1° intrinsic linearity error, and programmable 0–360° range - deployed in automotive throttle and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its SOIC-8 package, ratiometric analog/PWM/serial output modes, -40°C to +150°C operating range, on-chip DSP-based angular calculation, and end-of-line programmability via PTC-04.
Technical Context
The MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE integrates a Triaxis® magnetic front-end with an on-die IMC to sense horizontal flux components, enabling contactless angular measurement over full 360° rotation. Its 16-bit RISC DSP performs real-time arctangent computation and applies user-programmable transfer functions including offset, gain, clamping, and filtering.
It supports three output configurations: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD), PWM (100–1000 Hz), or 14-bit SPI serial protocol - all configurable via EEPROM without external components. The device operates in Slow mode (7 MHz clock, 600 μs sampling) or Fast mode (20 MHz, 200 μs sampling), with thermal drift compensation for offset and sensitivity mismatch.

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-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture; higher ASIL-B readiness; includes second independent output | Required for ISO 26262 ASIL-B functional safety systems where redundancy is mandated | Select when dual-die fault tolerance and diagnostic coverage >90% are required |
| AS5055A-DSOM | 14-bit resolution; SPI-only interface; no analog/PWM outputs; requires external voltage regulator | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs needing highest angular resolution but no multi-mode flexibility | Select when pure digital interface suffices and 0.022°/LSB resolution outweighs analog/PWM versatility |
Compared with MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE, the MLX90363 offers hardware redundancy for safety-critical use but increases footprint and cost; the AS5055A delivers finer resolution and lower power but lacks output flexibility and integrated regulation - making MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE optimal for cost-sensitive, multi-output automotive position sensing.

FAQ
What output modes does the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE support?
The MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE supports three configurable output modes: ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD), PWM (100–1000 Hz), and 14-bit SPI serial protocol. Mode selection is stored in EEPROM and programmed via the PTC-04 unit using only VDD, VSS, and OUT pins - no external components or dedicated programming interface required. All modes operate within the same SOIC-8 footprint.
Does the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE require an external magnet, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE requires an external diametrically magnetized dipole magnet mounted on the rotating shaft end. Melexis recommends NdFeB magnets with Br ≥ 1.2 T and dimensions ~5 mm diameter × 2 mm thickness, positioned 1–3 mm above the IMC surface. Magnetic field strength must stay within 20–70 mT at the die surface to avoid IMC saturation and maintain ±1° linearity.
How is the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE calibrated for specific mechanical ranges?
The MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE is calibrated end-of-line using Melexis' PTC-04 programming unit, which communicates through VDD-VSS-OUT pins. Users define angular range (0–360°), transfer slope, offset, clamping levels, and filtering coefficients - all stored in 128 B EEPROM. Calibration compensates for mechanical tolerances (airgap, eccentricity) and thermal drift, achieving <±0.3° total error over -40°C to +150°C after calibration.
What is the function of the Switch OUT pin on the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE?
The Switch OUT pin (Pin 3) on the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE provides a programmable open-drain digital output that can be configured as a threshold-triggered switch (e.g., pedal limit detection) or as a diagnostic flag (e.g., VDD fault). Its activation point, hysteresis, and polarity are fully programmable via EEPROM. In default configuration, it asserts low when angular position exceeds a user-defined discontinuity point.
Is the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE qualified for automotive under-hood applications?
Yes, the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-RE is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (-40°C to +150°C ambient), with built-in diagnostics including broken-track detection (VDD/VSS), thermal drift compensation, and watchdog timer. Its SOIC-8 package features reinforced molding compound for humidity resistance, and the Triaxis® IMC architecture ensures stable operation despite vibration, thermal cycling, and EMI - meeting requirements for throttle, steering, and brake position sensing in modern powertrain and chassis systems.
