Product details
Overview
MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-effect absolute position sensor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering 12-bit ratiometric analog output pre-programmed for 90° angular range with 80%VDD transfer slope, ±0.5° typical angular accuracy, and operation from −40°C to +85°C. It enables non-contact rotary position sensing in industrial motor feedback and valve actuation systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 pin mapping, programmable transfer function details, thermal accuracy validation, and direct alternatives for 90° analog-output position sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE integrates three orthogonal Hall plates (Bx, By, Bz) feeding a 15-bit ADC and 16-bit RISC DSP that computes magnetic angle via CoRDiC-based arctan(Bj/Bi). Its firmware implements front-end offset cancellation using chopper-stabilized amplifiers and 2-phase spinning.
This device supports only analog output mode (no PWM) in its AAA-100 configuration, with fixed 90° measurement range, 80%VDD full-scale slope, and clamped linear transfer characteristic. Internal EEPROM stores calibration parameters with Hamming ECC, enabling field programming via VDD/OUT pins without dedicated programming pins.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90363KDC-ABA-000-RE | SOIC-8, 360° analog output, same Triaxis® architecture and 12-bit resolution but unprogrammed at factory | Requires end-user programming for 90° range; lacks pre-calibrated 80%VDD slope | Select when custom transfer functions or multi-range configurations are needed beyond fixed 90° |
| AS5055A-DSOT | SOIC-8, 12-bit SPI output, 360° range, no analog output; uses different magnetic sensing principle (planar Hall) | Requires external ADC and microcontroller; no ratiometric analog output or built-in diagnostics | Select when digital interface and higher immunity to axial field interference are prioritized over analog simplicity |
Compared with MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE, the MLX90363 offers field-programmability at the cost of added calibration effort, while the AS5055A trades analog convenience for digital flexibility and reduced thermal drift-but requires system-level signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the output voltage range of the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE?
The MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE delivers a ratiometric analog output ranging from 0 V to 80% of the applied VDD (e.g., 0–4.0 V at VDD = 5.0 V) across its pre-programmed 0–90° angular range. This fixed transfer function eliminates need for external scaling and ensures consistent signal level regardless of supply variation within spec.
Does the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE support PWM output?
No, the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE is factory-configured exclusively for analog output mode. Its AAA-100 option code disables PWM functionality; only the ratiometric voltage output on Pin 5 (OUT) is active. Other variants like AAA-000 support dual-mode selection, but this specific part does not.
Can the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE be reprogrammed in-system?
Yes, the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE supports in-system programming via its VDD and OUT pins using the Melexis PTC-04 programmer and DB90316 software tools. However, reprogramming changes the transfer function or calibration - it does not alter the fundamental 90° range or enable PWM output, which are hard-coded in this variant.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE?
Per Melexis datasheet guidance, all unused and test pins (Pins 2, 3, 4, and 6) must be connected to VSS (Pin 8) to minimize radiated emissions. A 100 nF ceramic decoupling capacitor is required between VDIG (Pin 7) and VSS, and a separate 1 µF bulk capacitor should be placed near VDD (Pin 1). The sensitive spot is centered under Pin 5.
How does the MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE achieve thermal accuracy better than conventional Hall sensors?
The MLX90340EDC-AAA-100-RE achieves ±1.5° max angular error over −40°C to +85°C by computing angle from ratios of Hall signals (e.g., arctan(By/Bx)), making it intrinsically insensitive to uniform thermal drift in gain or offset. This Triaxis® ratio-metric method avoids the ±3–5° drift typical of single-axis linear Hall position sensors under temperature variation.
