Product details

Overview

MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic position sensor IC that detects orthogonal and parallel magnetic flux components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute absolute rotary or linear position with 12-bit resolution and ±1° angular accuracy over −40°C to 150°C. It delivers ratiometric analog or programmable PWM output, features on-chip DSP-based angle extraction, and supports multi-point linearization for automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world transfer characteristic programming details, thermal accuracy validation, and confirmed alternative options for non-contacting position sensing designs.

Technical Context

The MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP integrates three orthogonal Hall plates feeding a 15-bit ADC and a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), executing CoRDiC-based angle computation from two of three raw magnetic vector components. Its front-end employs chopper-stabilized amplifiers and 2-phase spinning for offset cancellation.

Signal processing includes programmable piece-wise-linear (17-point) or 4-point transfer functions, clamping (CLAMP_LOW/CLAMP_HIGH), clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation selection, and discontinuity point definition - all stored in EEPROM with Hamming ECC. Output modes are selected via end-user programming without dedicated pins, using only VDD and OUT lines.

Key Specifications

Parameter	Value and Actual Design Meaning
Output Type	Ratiometric analog (rail-to-rail, push-pull) or digital PWM - selectable per application wiring and programming; enables drop-in replacement of potentiometers.
Resolution & Accuracy	12-bit output resolution; ±1° total angular error (INL + DNL + thermal drift) over full temperature range - ensures stable position feedback in engine bay environments.
Operating Temp	−40°C to +150°C (L-grade) - validated for under-hood automotive use including throttle and ride height sensors.
Magnetic Sensing	Triaxis® 3-axis (BX/BY/BZ) detection - allows single-IC absolute angle measurement with simple diametric or axial magnets, eliminating dual-Hall or resolver complexity.
Programmability	End-user configurable via VDD/OUT interface: transfer curve (4-pt LNR or 17-pt PWL), clamping, zero-degree point, rotation direction, and output mode - no external programmer required in final assembly.
Package	SOIC-8 (DC code), RoHS-compliant - standard surface-mount footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly and high-vibration mechanical mounting.
Supply Voltage	4.5 V to 5.5 V - tightly regulated 5 V rail operation ensures compatibility with automotive body control modules and industrial PLC I/O stages.

Pinout & Package

MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP uses the SOIC-8 package (8-pin, 150 mil width), with sensitive spot centered under Pin 4 (GND). Unused pins (Pin 3 and Pin 6) must be connected to GND for optimal EMC performance per datasheet Section 4 and Figure 19.2.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning
VDD	Power supply input	4.5–5.5 V DC supply; internal LDO powers analog/digital blocks; decoupling capacitor required at pin.
GND	Ground reference	Primary ground return; Pin 4 is the die center reference point for magnetic field alignment.
OUT	Configurable output	Delivers ratiometric analog voltage (0–VDD) or PWM signal (programmable frequency/polarity); bidirectional programming interface.
NC	No connect (GND recommended)	Pin 3 - internally unused; datasheet mandates connection to GND for EMC integrity.
NC	No connect (GND recommended)	Pin 6 - internally unused; datasheet mandates connection to GND for EMC integrity.

Key Features

Feature	Design Value
Triaxis® 3D Hall Sensing	Enables single-die absolute angle measurement using low-cost diametric magnets - eliminates need for dual-Hall ICs or complex magnet assemblies.
On-Chip DSP Angle Extraction	CoRDiC-based real-time polar conversion (α = ∠(B1, B2)) with k-factor amplitude matching - removes external microcontroller dependency for angle calculation.
17-Point Piece-Wise Linear Calibration	Supports arbitrary 17-output-level mapping across 65.5°–360° input range - corrects for mechanical tolerances and magnet non-uniformity without host firmware changes.
EEPROM with Hamming ECC	Stores calibration, transfer function, and ID parameters with error correction - guarantees field reliability over 100k write cycles and >15-year data retention.
Programmable Clamping & Zero Point	Independent CLAMP_LOW/CLAMP_HIGH (0–100% VDD) and DP (0–359.9999°) settings - adapts output range to match ECU ADC input or PWM duty cycle requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
MLX90363EDC-AGL-000-SP	Same SOIC-8 package and Triaxis® architecture, but factory-programmed for analog output only (no PWM); includes enhanced diagnostic reporting (HAMHOLE).	Preferred where analog-only interface simplifies ECU design and diagnostics compliance (e.g., ISO 26262 ASIL-B systems) is mandatory.	Select MLX90363EDC-AGL-000-SP when PWM capability is unnecessary and diagnostic coverage must exceed MLX90360 baseline.
TAS5760MDAPR	Audio amplifier IC - not a position sensor; incompatible function, package, and electrical interface.	N/A - invalid comparison; excluded due to functional mismatch.	Not applicable - TAS5760MDAPR is unrelated and must not be substituted for MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP.

Compared with MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP, MLX90363EDC-AGL-000-SP trades programmable output flexibility for higher diagnostic fidelity, while avoiding any hardware redesign; no alternative offers identical 3-axis programmability in SOIC-8 at equivalent temperature grade.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP?

The MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP is rated for −40°C to +150°C (L-grade), validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood automotive applications such as throttle bodies and suspension linkages, where sustained exposure to engine heat and ambient extremes occurs. The datasheet specifies full functionality-including 12-bit resolution and ±1° accuracy-across this entire span without derating.

Does the MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP require an external microcontroller to compute angle?

No. The MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP contains an integrated 16-bit RISC DSP core that executes CoRDiC-based angle computation (∠(B1,B2)) autonomously. It processes raw Hall signals VX/VY/VZ, applies front-end compensation, and outputs calibrated position data directly as analog voltage or PWM-eliminating need for host MCU intervention in basic position reporting.

How is the MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP programmed for custom transfer characteristics?

Programming is performed via the VDD and OUT pins using Melexis' PTC-04 programmer and MLX90360 daughterboard. Users configure parameters-including 4-point or 17-point LNR curves, clamping levels, zero-degree point, and output mode-without dedicated programming pins. All settings are stored in on-chip EEPROM with Hamming ECC for field reliability.

Can the MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP replace a traditional potentiometer?

Yes. The MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP delivers a ratiometric analog output (0–VDD) fully compatible with existing potentiometer interfaces in ECUs and motor controllers. Its programmable offset, gain, and clamping allow exact replication of legacy potentiometer transfer curves-enabling drop-in replacement without hardware or firmware changes in retrofit applications.

What package type does the MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP use, and are unused pins required to be grounded?

The MLX90360EDC-ACD-000-SP uses the SOIC-8 package (package code "DC"). Per datasheet Section 4 and Figure 19.2, Pins 3 and 6 are NC and must be connected to GND to ensure optimal EMC performance-this is a mandatory layout requirement, not optional best practice.
