Product details
Overview
MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic position sensor IC that measures absolute rotary or linear position via orthogonal and parallel magnetic flux components (BX, BY, BZ) with 12-bit resolution and ±1° total angular error over −40°C to 150°C. It delivers programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output, supports multi-point linearization (4-pt or 17-pt), and operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. Used in automotive throttle, steering, and pedal position sensing where non-contact robustness and thermal stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin definitions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for position-sensing system design and sourcing.
Technical Context
The MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP integrates three-axis Hall sensing, a 15-bit ADC, and a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to compute magnetic angle α = ∠(V₁, k·V₂) using CoRDiC-based coordinate rotation. Its front-end employs chopper-stabilized amplifiers and 2-phase Hall plate spinning for offset cancellation.
Signal processing includes programmable analog transfer characteristics (offset, gain, clamping), selectable 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear calibration, and configurable PWM output (100–1000 Hz, polarity-selectable). All end-user parameters-including discontinuity point, clockwise direction flag, and EEPROM-stored ID-are programmed via supply/output pins without dedicated programming hardware.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive and industrial rails; no external regulator required. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including throttle and steering systems. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit DAC (analog) / 10-bit thermal accuracy - enables precise position reporting with <0.025% VDD step size. |
| Angular Accuracy | ±1° total error (including INL, DNL, temp drift) - ensures reliable closed-loop control without post-calibration trimming. |
| Magnetic Sensitivity | ±20 mT max field range - supports common NdFeB magnets at air gaps up to 4 mm with robust signal-to-noise ratio. |
| Output Options | Ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz, user-selectable polarity) - interoperable with existing potentiometer interfaces or microcontroller capture inputs. |
| Programmability | EEPROM-based configuration (4-pt/17-pt LNR, clamping, zero point, ID) - enables one-time factory calibration and customer-specific transfer curves. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package (GO code), RoHS-compliant, dual-die redundant architecture for functional safety compliance (ASIL-B capable). Pin 1 marked by dot; exposed thermal pad (Pin 16) must be connected to ground for thermal and EMC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Power Supply Input | 4.5–5.5 V main supply; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Analog/digital common return; connects to thermal pad (Pin 16) for optimal heat dissipation. |

Applications
| Throttle Position Sensing | Pedal Position Sensing |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Monitoring accelerator pedal angle in gasoline/diesel powertrain control units to determine fuel injection timing and volume. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Absolute rotary position sensor interfacing directly with ECU analog input or PWM capture peripheral. Use Value: Eliminates wear-prone potentiometers; ±1° accuracy ensures repeatable torque mapping across full temperature range (−40°C to 150°C). |
Use Scenario: Detecting brake or clutch pedal stroke in electronic braking systems (EBS) and automated manual transmissions (AMT). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Linear displacement sensor providing real-time analog/PWM feedback for closed-loop actuator control. Use Value: Dual-die redundancy (GO package) enables diagnostic comparison between channels - meets ASIL-B fault detection requirements. |
| Steering Wheel Angle Sensing | Float-Level Sensing |
|
Use Scenario: Measuring absolute steering wheel rotation for electric power steering (EPS) assist torque calculation and lane-keeping assist (LKA). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-accuracy rotary position sensor with programmable zero point and clockwise/counter-clockwise direction flag. Use Value: Discontinuity point programming allows alignment to vehicle-specific mechanical zero; 17-point LNR compensates for magnet curvature in compact column designs. |
Use Scenario: Monitoring fuel or coolant tank level via float arm rotation in automotive, agricultural, and industrial tanks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-contact absolute rotary sensor replacing sealed potentiometers subject to contamination and corrosion. Use Value: IP67-compatible TSSOP-16 package with conformal coating support; ratiometric output rejects supply ripple common in battery-powered tank modules. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90363GO-ACD-000-SP | Same Triaxis® architecture, but adds integrated EEPROM-based diagnostics and enhanced PWM jitter specification (±0.5% vs ±1%). | Preferred for ASIL-C systems requiring certified diagnostic coverage; identical pinout and programming interface. | Select when diagnostic reporting (e.g., open-circuit, short-to-rail) must be embedded in sensor firmware rather than implemented externally. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit resolution, SPI digital interface only (no analog/PWM), single-die SOIC-8; lacks multi-point linearization and dual-die redundancy. | Suitable for space-constrained PCBs where digital bus integration is preferred; not rated for >125°C operation. | Choose if system already uses SPI infrastructure and thermal range ≤125°C; avoid for safety-critical automotive positions requiring redundancy. |
Compared with MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP, MLX90363GO-ACD-000-SP adds certified diagnostics without changing layout or firmware interface, while AMS AS5055A-BQFT trades analog/PWM flexibility and high-temp capability for higher resolution and smaller footprint in non-redundant applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP?
The MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP is rated for −40°C to +150°C continuous operation, validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range covers under-hood automotive environments such as throttle bodies and steering columns. The device maintains ±1° total angular accuracy across this full span due to on-chip thermal compensation algorithms and Triaxis® front-end design. No derating or external heatsinking is required.
Does the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No, the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP supports only one output mode at a time - either ratiometric analog (0–100% VDD) or PWM (100–1000 Hz) - selected via the Output Mode parameter stored in EEPROM. Both modes share the same OUT pin and push-pull driver. Switching requires reprogramming the device; concurrent dual-output operation is not supported in hardware or firmware.
How is the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP programmed for custom transfer characteristics?
The MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP is programmed in-system using only VDD, GND, OUT, and PROG pins - no dedicated programming header or JTAG interface is needed. Melexis PTC-04 programmer with MLX90360 daughterboard configures 4-point or 17-point linearization, clamping levels, zero-degree point, and ID fields into on-chip EEPROM. Calibration data persists through power cycles and supports field updates.
What does the "GO" in MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP indicate about its package and functionality?
The "GO" package code denotes a TSSOP-16 housing containing two fully independent, redundant sensor dies - enabling cross-die comparison for fault detection. This dual-die architecture satisfies ASIL-B functional safety requirements per ISO 26262. Unlike SOIC-8 variants (DC code), the GO version provides inherent redundancy without external circuitry, making it suitable for steering angle and brake pedal applications.
Can the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP replace a traditional potentiometer in an existing design?
Yes, the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-SP is explicitly designed as a drop-in replacement for resistive potentiometers: its ratiometric analog output matches standard 0–5 V or 0–VDD pot wiper behavior, and its 12-bit resolution exceeds typical 10-turn pot linearity. Mechanical mounting and signal routing remain unchanged; only magnet placement (typically diametrically magnetized) must be adapted per Melexis application notes AN-001 and AN-004.
