Product details
Overview
MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE from Melexis is an absolute rotary position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, delivering 12-bit angular resolution and ±1° intrinsic linearity error over 0–360° range, with programmable SENT (SAE-J2716), analog ratiometric, or PWM output modes, designed for under-the-hood automotive applications such as throttle and EGR actuators.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its −40°C to +150°C operating range, SOIC-8 package, integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC), self-compensated ATAN computation, and end-user programmability of transfer characteristic via 16-point LNR calibration.
Technical Context
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE employs a dual-Hall front-end with Integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC) to sense in-plane magnetic flux (BX/BY), enabling absolute angle calculation via arctangent lookup table-not CoRDiC-yielding intrinsic thermal compensation. Its 16-bit RISC DSP executes firmware-stored microcode for signal processing, diagnostics, and output formatting.
It supports three configurable output protocols: SENT (SAE-J2716) with rolling counter and diagnostic nibbles, ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC), or PWM (12-bit depth, 100–1000 Hz). All modes operate across full −40°C to +150°C ambient range with supply voltage 4.5–5.5 V and current draw 7–15 mA depending on speed mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-the-hood automotive environments without derating. |
| Angular Resolution | 12 bits - enables 0.0879° step size for high-fidelity position feedback in closed-loop control. |
| Intrinsic Linearity Error | ±1° at TA = 25°C - defines baseline accuracy before magnet/mounting tolerances and multi-point calibration. |
| Output Protocols | SENT (SAE-J2716), analog ratiometric, PWM - selectable per application EMI, latency, and interface requirements. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard automotive 5 V rails; POR at 2.7 V ensures robust startup. |
| Supply Current | 7–15 mA - scalable across slow/medium/fast modes to balance power vs. response time (e.g., 600 μs sampling in slow mode). |
| ADC Resolution | 14–15 bits (raw sine/cosine) - provides oversampled input to DSP for stable ATAN computation under thermal drift. |
Pinout & Package

| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Main power supply input (4.5–5.5 V); powers internal regulator and digital/analog blocks. |
| 2 | Test 0 | Factory test pin; not connected in normal operation - tie to VSS per EMC guidelines. |
| 3 | Switch Out | Programmable angular switch output (open-drain); logic-low active at user-defined angle thresholds. |
| 4 | Not Used | No internal connection - must be grounded to minimize noise coupling and improve EMC. |
| 5 | Out | Main output terminal: delivers SENT, analog, or PWM signal depending on programmed mode. |
| 6 | Test 1 | Factory test pin; not connected in normal operation - tie to VSS per EMC guidelines. |
| 7 | VDIG | Digital supply rail for internal logic; internally regulated from VDD - decouple locally. |
| 8 | VSS | Ground reference for analog and digital sections; common return path for all currents. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90316LDC-ABA-000-RE | Lacks SENT protocol; only analog/PWM outputs; lower max temperature (+125°C); same SOIC-8 package and Triaxis® core. | Suitable for less demanding under-hood locations (e.g., HVAC flaps) where digital diagnostics are not required. | Select when SENT is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs extended temperature margin. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit resolution; SPI/I²C interface only (no SENT/analog/PWM); no integrated IMC - requires external concentrator or diametric magnet optimization. | Better suited for space-constrained PCBs needing high-resolution SPI feedback, but demands more magnetic design effort. | Choose for higher resolution and digital bus integration where SENT compatibility and drop-in replacement are not mandatory. |
Compared with MLX90316LDC-ABA-000-RE and AMS AS5055A-BQFT, the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE uniquely combines SENT compliance, full automotive temperature range, and factory-programmable transfer characteristics in a single SOIC-8 footprint - simplifying qualification for safety-critical EMS systems.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE support?
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE supports three user-selectable output protocols: SENT (SAE-J2716 Rev 2016), ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD), and PWM (100–1000 Hz, 12-bit depth). The protocol is configured via EEPROM programming using Melexis' PTC-04 programmer and MLX90316/90324 daughterboard. SENT mode includes embedded diagnostics, CRC, and rolling counter functionality.
What is the angular accuracy of the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE over temperature?
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE achieves ±1° intrinsic linearity error at 25°C and maintains 10-bit angular thermal accuracy (±0.1° typical) across −40°C to +150°C due to its self-compensated ATAN computation and dual-Hall front-end. Thermal offset drift is limited to ±60 LSB15 at DSP input, and sensitivity mismatch drift is ±0.5%, both contributing to predictable angular error bounds in automotive environments.
Can the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE be used without a diametrically magnetized magnet?
No - the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE requires a diametrically magnetized rotating magnet positioned above the IC surface to generate orthogonal BX and BY field components. Its Triaxis® architecture and integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) are optimized for this geometry; axial or radial magnets will not produce valid quadrature signals. Melexis provides application notes (e.g., AN-002) detailing optimal magnet size, grade (e.g., NdFeB N42), and airgap (0.5–3.0 mm).
How is the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE calibrated for nonlinearity correction?
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE supports two calibration methods: 3-point linearization (for basic correction) and 16-point LNR (Look-Up Table Non-Linearity Reduction). End-users program up to 16 (X,Y) coordinate pairs into EEPROM via the PTC-04 tool to define custom transfer curves. This compensates for mechanical tolerances, magnet placement errors, and airgap variations - improving system-level linearity beyond the ±1° intrinsic spec.
Does the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE include functional safety features?
Yes - the MLX90324LDC-DBO-000-RE integrates multiple self-diagnostic functions aligned with ASIL-B decomposition requirements: broken VDD/VSS detection, EEPROM CRC verification, supply voltage monitoring, and magnetic field saturation alerts. Diagnostic status is reported via dedicated flags in SENT telegrams or analog/PWM output clamping bands. These features are enabled by default and require no external circuitry to meet ISO 26262 diagnostic coverage targets.
