Product details
Overview
MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE from Melexis is an absolute rotary position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, operating over −40°C to +150°C, delivering 12-bit angular resolution and SENT (SAE-J2716), analog, or PWM output modes for throttle and EGR actuator feedback in automotive under-the-hood systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its SOIC-8 package, programmable 360° angular range, SENT protocol compliance, thermal accuracy of ±10 bits over temperature, and integrated magneto-concentrator enabling robust non-contact sensing in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE uses a dual-Hall front-end with Integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC) to sense coplanar magnetic flux (BX/BY), computing angle via arctangent lookup table-not CORDIC-enabling intrinsic compensation for airgap and thermal drift. Its 16-bit RISC DSP executes firmware-stored microcode for signal processing and diagnostics.
It supports three configurable output protocols: ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC), PWM (12-bit depth, 100–1000 Hz), and SENT (SAE-J2716) with 48-bit ID and programmable transfer characteristics up to 16-point linearization. All calibration and configuration are stored in 128 B EEPROM with Hamming ECC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Angular Resolution | 12-bit (0.0879°/LSB), enabling precise closed-loop control in throttle and valve positioning. |
| Thermal Accuracy | 10-bit (±0.35° typical over −40°C to +150°C), achieved via intrinsic BX/BY ratio-based ATAN computation and IMC stability. |
| Output Protocols | Configurable SENT (SAE-J2716), ratiometric analog, or PWM-supports OEM diagnostic integration and legacy ECU compatibility. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C (L-grade), qualified for engine bay placement without external cooling or shielding. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V, with POR at 2.7 V-ensures reliable startup during cranking or low-battery conditions. |
| Power Consumption | 7–15 mA depending on speed mode (Slow/Medium/Fast)-optimized for continuous operation in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Magnetic Range | 20–70 mT (typical), compatible with standard diametrically magnetized NdFeB magnets at 1–3 mm airgap. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE is housed in an RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (5.0 × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for high-temperature reflow and automotive board-level reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Positive supply input | 5 V nominal supply rail; includes internal 3.3 V regulator for digital core and POR circuitry. |
| 2 (Test 0) | Factory test terminal | No user function; must be connected to VSS per EMC recommendation-no external bias required. |
| 3 (Switch Out) | Programmable angular switch output | Open-drain digital output with hysteresis; used for limit detection or multi-state position signaling. |
| 4 (Not Used) | Unbonded pad | Internally NC; recommended to tie to VSS for EMC integrity and thermal dissipation. |
| 5 (Out) | Main signal output | Configurable as analog (ratiometric), PWM, or SENT; drives loads up to ±20 mA with clamped saturation levels. |
| 6 (Test 1) | Factory test terminal | No user function; must be connected to VSS per EMC recommendation-no external bias required. |
| 7 (VDIG) | Digital ground reference | Separate analog/digital ground pin minimizes noise coupling into sensitive Hall front-end signals. |
| 8 (VSS) | Analog ground reference | Primary ground return for Hall sensors and analog signal chain; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Tria⊗is® Hall + IMC architecture | Enables true 360° absolute angular measurement using only coplanar magnetic fields-eliminates need for complex multi-magnet assemblies or gear-driven solutions. |
| Programmable 16-point transfer curve | Allows precise matching to mechanical linkage nonlinearities (e.g., butterfly valve rotation), reducing ECU compensation overhead and improving system linearity. |
| SENT (SAE-J2716) output mode | Provides deterministic, low-pin-count digital communication with built-in CRC, status flags, and multi-sensor daisy-chaining capability for modern powertrain ECUs. |
| Self-diagnostic capability | Monitors VDD/VSS continuity, magnetic field presence, signal path integrity, and EEPROM health-reports faults via dedicated diagnostic band or SENT status nibbles. |
| EEPROM with Hamming ECC | 128 B of error-corrected nonvolatile memory stores calibration, configuration, and 48-bit unique ID-ensures field-programmability and traceability without external components. |

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-100-SP | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture; higher isolation resistance (4 MΩ); supports functional safety ASIL-B. | Required for ISO 26262-compliant steering angle or brake pedal position systems where single-point failure tolerance is mandated. | Select MLX90363KGO-100-SP when redundancy, diagnostic coverage >90%, or dual-die isolation is required-MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE lacks internal redundancy. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit resolution; SPI interface only; no SENT or PWM; operates to +125°C (not +150°C); smaller QFN-16 package. | Suitable for space-constrained industrial encoders or consumer robotics where automotive temp grade and SENT are not needed. | Choose AMS AS5055A-BQFT for cost-sensitive, non-automotive designs requiring higher resolution but lower temperature rating and no SENT support. |
Compared with MLX90363KGO-100-SP and AMS AS5055A-BQFT, the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE offers optimal balance of automotive-grade temperature range, SENT protocol readiness, SOIC-8 manufacturability, and field-programmable transfer characteristics-making it ideal for volume production of under-the-hood EMS actuators without functional safety certification overhead.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE support?
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE supports three user-selectable output protocols: ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD), PWM (100–1000 Hz, 12-bit depth), and SENT (SAE-J2716) with 48-bit ID and CRC-protected telemetry. Configuration is performed via EEPROM programming using the Melexis PTC-04 tool and MLX90316/90324 daughterboard-no external pins are required for mode selection.
Does the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE require an external magnet, and what type is recommended?
Yes, the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE requires an external diametrically magnetized neodymium (NdFeB) magnet positioned above the IC surface. Melexis specifies optimal operation within 20–70 mT magnetic flux density, achievable with standard 3–5 mm diameter × 1–2 mm thick magnets at 1–3 mm airgap. Magnet temperature coefficient (−2400 ppm/°C) must be considered for full-range thermal stability.
How is angular accuracy maintained over temperature in the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE?
Angular accuracy is maintained through intrinsic compensation: the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE computes angle as ATAN(VY/VX), making the result independent of absolute flux magnitude changes due to temperature, airgap, or magnet aging. Combined with on-chip AGC, 10-bit thermal accuracy (±0.35°) is achieved across −40°C to +150°C without external calibration.
Can the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE be programmed in-system, or does it require dedicated hardware?
The MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE supports in-system programming via its supply (VDD) and output (OUT) pins-no dedicated programming pins are needed. Programming is performed using the Melexis PTC-04 programmer with MLX90316/90324 daughterboard and associated DLL software. Field updates of transfer curves, clamping values, SENT parameters, and diagnostic settings are fully supported.
What is the purpose of the Switch Out pin on the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE?
The Switch Out pin on the MLX90324LDC-DBO-100-RE is a programmable open-drain digital output that functions as an angular threshold detector. It can be configured to assert at any user-defined angle (e.g., 0°, 90°, or 180°) with adjustable hysteresis (KDHYST), enabling simple limit-switch replacement or multi-state position signaling without additional logic components.
