Product details
Overview
MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-effect absolute position sensor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering 270° pre-programmed ratiometric analog output with 12-bit resolution, ±0.5° angular accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, and integrated signal processing for non-contact rotary or linear position sensing in industrial actuators and valve control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 pin mapping, programmable transfer characteristics, thermal accuracy validation, and direct alternatives for heavy-duty position sensing designs requiring field-proven magnetic angle decoding.
Technical Context
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE integrates three orthogonal Hall plates (Bx, By, Bz) with a 15-bit ADC and 16-bit RISC DSP to compute magnetic angle via CoRDiC-based arctangent calculation. Its firmware implements front-end offset cancellation using chopper-stabilized amplifiers and 2-phase spinning.
This variant is factory-configured for 270° analog output range (80% VDD / 270°), with clamping, gain, and offset parameters stored in ECC-protected NVRAM. It supports no external programming pins-calibration uses only VDD, VSS, and OUT nodes via Melexis PTC-04 tooling.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output range of the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE?
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE is pre-configured for a 270° angular measurement range with ratiometric analog output spanning 0.2×VDD to 1.0×VDD. This corresponds to 80% of the supply voltage over the full 270-degree mechanical rotation, eliminating need for field calibration in compatible applications.
Does the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE require external programming hardware for basic operation?
No - the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE operates immediately after power-up with its factory-programmed 270° analog transfer function. No PTC-04 programmer or external interface is needed unless reprogramming of calibration parameters or output mode is required.
Can the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE be used in linear position sensing configurations?
Yes - the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE supports linear stroke measurement using side-magnet or back-bias configurations that generate Bz-field gradients. Its Triaxis® architecture decodes linear displacement by tracking field vector changes, validated in Melexis application note AN-012 for stroke ranges up to ±25 mm.
What is the role of the VDIG pin on the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE?
The VDIG pin on the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE outputs a regulated 3.3 V supply generated internally from VDD. It powers the digital core (DSP, EEPROM, ROM) and must be decoupled with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor to VSS to ensure stable microcontroller operation and accurate analog-to-digital conversion.
How does the MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE achieve ±0.5° angular accuracy over temperature?
The MLX90340SDC-AAA-400-RE achieves ±0.5° angular accuracy through on-chip DSP compensation of thermal drift in Hall plate sensitivity and amplifier offset. Its firmware applies real-time corrections derived from internal temperature monitoring and factory-characterized coefficients stored in ECC-protected NVRAM.
