Product details
Overview
MLX90316LDC-BCS-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 +150°C. It supports programmable analog (ratiometric), PWM, or SPI output modes and interfaces with end-of-shaft dipole magnets via integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) for contactless sensing up to 360° rotation. Used in automotive throttle and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include its SOIC-8 package, dual-die redundancy option, programmable transfer characteristic, diagnostic features (broken VDD/VSS detection), and compatibility with PTC-04 programming unit for end-of-line calibration.
Technical Context
The MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP integrates a Triaxis® Hall front-end with IMC to detect horizontal magnetic field components, feeding sine/cosine signals into a 16-bit RISC DSP for arctangent-based angular calculation. Its architecture supports real-time linearization, clamping, deadzone, and hysteresis filtering via 128 B EEPROM-stored parameters.
It operates in Slow Mode (7 MHz clock, 600 μs sampling) or Fast Mode (20 MHz clock, 200 μs sampling), with configurable diagnostics including switch-out activation, watchdog timeout (5 ms), and passive/active fault reporting on VDD/VSS loss - all without requiring external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Angular Resolution | 12-bit (0.0879°/LSB theoretical), enabling precise closed-loop motor control and high-fidelity position feedback. |
| Thermal Accuracy | ±1° over full -40°C to +150°C range, achieved via DSP-compensated offset/sensitivity drift correction. |
| Output Modes | Configurable ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD), PWM (100–1000 Hz), or 14-bit SPI serial (3-wire interface). |
| Supply Range | 4.5–5.5 V, with reverse voltage protection (-10 V) and overvoltage tolerance (+20 V) for harsh automotive environments. |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Detects broken VDD/VSS tracks, output short-circuit, and internal faults via dedicated diagnostic pins and digital flags. |

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-ABA-000-SP | TSSOP-16 dual-die package with full hardware redundancy; higher current draw (2× IDD); supports SPI75AGC mode. | Required for ASIL-C systems needing fault-tolerant dual-channel architecture and independent die isolation. | Select when functional safety certification (ISO 26262) mandates hardware redundancy beyond diagnostics. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit resolution, SPI-only interface, no analog/PWM outputs; lacks switch-out and programmable clamping; 125°C max operating temperature. | Suitable for non-automotive industrial encoders where cost and size outweigh safety diagnostics and multi-output flexibility. | Choose for space-constrained designs needing highest resolution but accepting reduced configurability and lower temp rating. |
Compared with MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP, the MLX90363 offers true hardware redundancy at the expense of layout area and power, while the AS5055A trades programmability and automotive qualification for resolution and footprint - making MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP optimal for cost-sensitive, ASIL-B-compliant rotary sensing where SOIC-8 fit and field calibration are critical.

FAQ
What output interfaces does the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP support?
The MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP supports three configurable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD), PWM (100–1000 Hz, programmable frequency and polarity), and 3-wire SPI serial (14-bit angle data). All modes are selected and calibrated via the same VDD/VSS/OUT pins using the PTC-04 programmer - no hardware rework is needed to change output type after PCB assembly.
How is the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP calibrated for angular accuracy?
Calibration of the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP is performed end-of-line using Melexis' PTC-04 programming unit, which communicates exclusively through the VDD, VSS, and OUT pins. It writes 40-bit ID, transfer curve coefficients (LNR, CLAMP, DEADZONE), filter settings, and diagnostic thresholds into 128 B EEPROM - enabling full compensation for mechanical tolerances, thermal drift, and magnet nonlinearity without external components.
Does the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP meet automotive reliability standards?
Yes, the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (-40°C to +150°C) and supports ASIL-B system-level compliance through integrated diagnostics including broken VDD/VSS detection, watchdog timer, output short-circuit monitoring, and programmable switch-out for fail-safe signaling - all implemented within the single SOIC-8 die.
Can the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP operate with different magnet configurations?
Yes, the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP is designed for end-of-shaft dipole magnets with flux density between 20–70 mT. Its integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) enables robust operation across ±0.5 mm airgap variation and ±1° axial tilt. The on-chip DSP compensates for sensitivity mismatch and orthogonality errors, allowing use with low-cost ferrite or NdFeB magnets without custom shielding.
What is the role of the Switch OUT pin on the MLX90316LDC-BCS-000-SP?
The Switch OUT pin (Pin 3) provides a programmable digital output that can emulate a mechanical limit switch or safety interlock. It is independently configurable for activation angle, hysteresis, and polarity via EEPROM parameters (KD, KDHYST), and remains functional even during analog/PWM output operation - enabling dual-role feedback and fault signaling in compact automotive modules.
