Product details
Overview
MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU 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 10-bit thermal accuracy. It delivers programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output, supports multi-point calibration (4-pt or 17-pt piecewise-linear), and operates across −40°C to 150°C in TSSOP-16 package. Used in automotive throttle, steering wheel, and pedal position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its dual-die redundant architecture, programmable transfer characteristic, magnetic angle computation via CoRDiC algorithm, and compatibility with non-contacting potentiometer replacement designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU integrates three-axis Hall sensing front-end, 15-bit ADC, and 16-bit RISC DSP running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to compute magnetic angle α = ∠(B₁, k·B₂) using programmable gain factor k. Its self-compensated angular extraction eliminates sensitivity to flux density variation, enabling superior thermal accuracy versus linear Hall sensors.
Signal processing includes chopper-stabilized amplification, offset cancellation via 2-phase Hall plate spinning, and digital filtering (FIR + hysteresis). Output is conditioned through user-programmable clamping, scaling, and discontinuity point (0° reference), then delivered as either 12-bit DAC-based ratiometric analog voltage or configurable PWM (100–1000 Hz, polarity-selectable).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications without external cooling. |
| Output Resolution | 12-bit (analog) / 10-bit thermal accuracy - enables <±0.1° angular error over full temperature range. |
| Magnetic Sensing | Triaxis® (BX, BY, BZ) - allows single-IC absolute position decoding from rotating or linearly moving magnets. |
| Output Modes | Ratiometric analog (rail-to-rail, push-pull) or PWM (100–1000 Hz, polarity & latch configurable) - supports legacy potentiometer drop-in or robust digital interface. |
| Calibration Flexibility | 4-point arbitrary or 17-point piecewise-linear (PWL) transfer function - reduces INL by up to 10× vs. 2-point calibration. |

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-TU | Same Triaxis® architecture, but with extended 16-bit analog output resolution and enhanced EMC immunity (IEC 61000-4-4/6 compliant). | Preferred for new designs requiring higher precision (<±0.05°) or stricter industrial EMC environments. | Select MLX90363 if resolution or immunity exceeds MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU specs; pinout and programming interface are identical. |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | Single-die 12-bit Hall-based rotary encoder; no Triaxis® 3D sensing - requires external magnet orientation control and offers no redundancy. | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer or non-safety applications where dual-die redundancy is unnecessary. | Choose AS5055A only when functional safety (ASIL) is not required and magnetic assembly tolerances are tightly controlled. |
Compared with MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU, MLX90363GO-ACD-000-TU delivers higher resolution and certified EMC robustness while maintaining full software and pin compatibility; AMS AS5055A-BQFT offers lower cost but lacks redundancy, thermal accuracy, and magnetic flexibility - making it unsuitable for automotive safety-critical use.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU?
The MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU is rated for −40°C to +150°C, validated per its 'L' temperature code. This range supports under-hood automotive deployment without derating, and its thermal accuracy specification (10-bit) holds across the full span - confirmed in Section 10 of the Rev. 009 datasheet.
Does the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No - the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU supports only one active output mode at a time, selected via the Output Mode parameter (Section 14.1). Analog and PWM are mutually exclusive; switching requires reprogramming the device using the Melexis PTC-04 programmer and MLX90360 daughterboard.
How is programming performed on the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU without dedicated programming pins?
Programming uses a single-wire protocol over the PROG terminal, leveraging VDD and OUT nodes - no additional pins required. The Melexis PTC-04 tool communicates via this interface to configure output mode, transfer characteristics, clamping, and identification fields, all stored in ECC-protected EEPROM (Section 14).
What does "dual-die" mean for the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU in TSSOP-16 package?
"Dual-die" means the TSSOP-16 package contains two fully independent MLX90360 sensor dies - each with its own Hall front-end, ADC, DSP, and output path - enabling hardware-level redundancy. This architecture supports cross-die diagnostics and satisfies ASIL-B requirements per ISO 26262 (Section 8 confirms isolation specs apply only to GO package).
Can the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU be used for linear position sensing?
Yes - the MLX90360EGO-ACD-000-TU decodes absolute linear displacement when paired with a properly designed moving magnet (e.g., slider with diametrically magnetized rod). Figure 2 in the datasheet shows a linear application, and its Triaxis® sensing supports both rotary and linear geometries without hardware change.
