Product details
Overview
MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-effect IC for absolute rotary position sensing up to 180°, delivering 12-bit ratiometric analog output with ±0.5° angular accuracy, 10-bit thermal accuracy over –40°C to +85°C, and programmable linear transfer characteristic. It operates from 4.5–24 V supply and integrates on-chip DSP, EEPROM, and 3.3 V regulator (VDIG) in SOIC-8 package.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 pin mapping, pre-programmed 180° analog transfer function details, real-world use cases in industrial actuators and heavy-duty valves, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE senses orthogonal (Bz) and in-plane (Bx, By) magnetic flux components using integrated Hall plates, enabling robust angle computation via CoRDiC-based DSP firmware. Its signal chain includes chopper-stabilized amplification, 15-bit ADC, and 16-bit RISC microcontroller executing mask-ROM firmware for real-time angular extraction and output conditioning.
This variant is factory-programmed for 180° analog output range (80% VDD span), with fixed transfer function: VOUT = 0.4 × VDD + 0.4 × VDD × (α / 180°), where α ∈ [0°, 180°]. It supports no external programming interface-configuration is immutable post-manufacture-and features Hamming ECC-protected EEPROM for calibration data retention over >100k write cycles.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90363KDC-AAA-000-RE | SOIC-8, same Triaxis® architecture but programmable (not pre-configured); supports 360°, PWM/analog dual output | Requires programming infrastructure (PTC-04 + DB90316); suited for multi-variant production lines | Select when flexibility across 90°/180°/270°/360° ranges or PWM output is needed |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 12-bit SPI-output magnetic encoder; 3.3 V only; no integrated regulator; ±0.3° accuracy at 25°C | Lacks ratiometric analog output and on-chip VDIG; requires external 3.3 V LDO and SPI host controller | Select when digital interface and higher base accuracy are prioritized over analog simplicity and supply flexibility |
Compared with MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE, MLX90363KDC-AAA-000-RE offers field programmability at the cost of added tooling complexity, while AMS AS5055A-BQFT delivers superior base accuracy but demands additional power and interface circuitry-making MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE optimal for drop-in analog replacement in legacy 12 V/24 V industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed transfer function of the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE?
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE is pre-programmed for a 180° mechanical rotation range with ratiometric analog output spanning 0.4 × VDD to 0.8 × VDD. Its transfer function is VOUT = 0.4 × VDD + 0.4 × VDD × (α / 180°), where α is the measured angle in degrees. This configuration is immutable-no field reprogramming is possible on the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE.
Does the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE require external programming hardware?
No. The MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE ships fully configured from the factory with its 180° analog transfer function permanently stored in ROM and ECC-protected EEPROM. Unlike programmable variants such as MLX90363, the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE needs no PTC-04 programmer, DB90316 interface board, or calibration software-reducing time-to-production and test overhead.
What is the role of the VDIG pin on the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE?
The VDIG pin on the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE is the output of an integrated 3.3 V regulator that powers the internal digital core (DSP, EEPROM, ROM). It must be decoupled with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor to VSS. This eliminates the need for an external LDO, simplifying power design and reducing bill-of-materials cost in space-constrained applications.
Can the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE operate in automotive under-hood environments?
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE is rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient operation (E-grade), making it suitable for passenger car cabin and some under-dash locations-but not under-hood environments exceeding 85°C. For under-hood use up to 150°C, the L-grade variant MLX90340LDC-AAA-300-RE is required. The MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE's thermal accuracy specification applies strictly within its rated temperature range.
How does the MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE handle electromagnetic interference in industrial settings?
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-300-RE incorporates chopper-stabilized amplification, differential analog signal paths, and on-chip EMC optimization guidance-including mandatory grounding of all unused and test pins (Pins 2, 3, 4, 6). Its SOIC-8 package meets IEC 61000-4-3/4-6 immunity requirements when implemented per Melexis layout guidelines, ensuring reliable operation near variable-frequency drives and solenoid actuators.
