Product details
Overview
MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP from Melexis is an absolute rotary position sensor IC using Triaxis® Hall technology to measure angular position of an end-of-shaft dipole magnet with 12-bit resolution, ±1° intrinsic linearity error, and programmable 0–360° range. It delivers ratiometric analog, PWM, or 14-bit SPI output in a SOIC-8 package rated for −40°C to +150°C operation, used in automotive throttle and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its programmable transfer characteristic, dual-die redundancy option (TSSOP-16), thermal offset drift of ±90 LSB15, 100–1000 Hz PWM frequency range, and SPI interface compatibility with PTC-04 programming unit.
Technical Context
The MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP integrates a Triaxis® magnetic front-end with on-chip IMC to sense horizontal flux components, feeding raw sine/cosine signals to a 16-bit RISC DSP for arctangent-based angle 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 output modes including analog (ratiometric), PWM (programmable polarity/frequency), and serial protocol (3-wire SPI). The BDG-100 variant specifically enables SPI communication and includes 40-bit unique ID storage.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Angular Resolution | 12-bit analog/PWM; 14-bit SPI - enables 0.022°/LSB precision for high-fidelity shaft angle reporting |
| Intrinsic Linearity Error | ±1° at 25°C - defines baseline angular accuracy before end-of-line calibration |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - supports under-hood automotive applications without external cooling |
| PWM Frequency Range | 100–1000 Hz - allows tuning for EMI reduction or dynamic response in motor control loops |
| Thermal Offset Drift | ±90 LSB15 - translates to ±0.3° max angular error over full temperature range (suffix L) |

| 6 | Test 1 | Factory test pin; recommended to tie to VSS for EMC compliance |
| 7 | VDIG | Digital supply domain input; decoupled separately to reduce noise coupling into analog path |
| 8 | VSS | Analog ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize offset drift |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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-075-SP | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with full hardware redundancy; 16-bit SPI resolution; higher immunity to single-point failure | Required for ASIL-D systems where fault coverage mandates physical die separation | Select when functional safety certification (ISO 26262) demands dual-die architecture and diagnostic coverage >90% |
| AS5055A-BSOT | 14-bit resolution; SPI-only interface; no analog/PWM outputs; smaller QFN-16 package; lower max temp (125°C) | Suitable for space-constrained consumer or industrial encoders where only digital output is needed | Choose for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs requiring minimal footprint and no analog interface |
Compared with MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP, MLX90363KGO-ABD-075-SP provides hardware-level redundancy at the expense of larger footprint and higher cost, while AS5055A-BSOT offers higher resolution in a smaller package but lacks analog/PWM flexibility and extended temperature capability.

FAQ
What output interfaces does the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP support?
The MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP supports three configurable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0.1–0.9×VDD), PWM (100–1000 Hz, programmable polarity), and 3-wire SPI (14-bit angle data). The BDG-100 suffix confirms SPI capability is enabled and factory-configured. All modes share the same OUT pin (Pin 5), selected via EEPROM programming - no hardware changes required to switch between them.
Does the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP require external calibration equipment?
Yes, the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP requires the Melexis PTC-04 programming unit for end-of-line calibration. This tool communicates exclusively through the VDD–VSS–OUT pins to program transfer characteristics, clamping levels, thermal compensation, and diagnostic thresholds into the device's 128 B EEPROM. No external ADC, DAC, or signal generator is needed - all calibration occurs in-system using the native interface.
What is the maximum allowable magnetic field strength for reliable operation of the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP?
The MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP operates reliably up to ±700 mT magnetic flux density, but optimal linearity is maintained below 70 mT. Above 70 mT, the integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) begins saturating, increasing intrinsic linearity error. For automotive-grade accuracy, Melexis recommends 20–50 mT operating range with a diametrically magnetized NdFeB magnet placed 1–3 mm above the package surface.
Can the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP operate in Fast Mode continuously?
Yes, the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP supports continuous Fast Mode operation (20 MHz clock, 200 μs sampling interval, <4 μs step response) across its full −40°C to +150°C range. However, Fast Mode increases supply current to 16 mA (vs. 11 mA in Slow Mode) and reduces noise filtering depth - system designers must verify EMI and thermal dissipation margins when selecting this mode for high-dynamic applications like motor commutation.
How is functional safety addressed in the MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP design?
The MLX90316LDC-BDG-100-SP incorporates multiple functional safety mechanisms: broken-VDD/VSS detection, watchdog timer (5 ms timeout), configurable diagnostic bands, and self-test routines executed at startup and runtime. While the single-die SOIC-8 version meets ASIL-B requirements, achieving ASIL-D necessitates the dual-die MLX90363 in TSSOP-16. All safety features are programmable via the PTC-04 and validated per ISO 26262 Part 5 Annex D.
