Product details

Overview

MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic Hall-effect position sensor IC that measures absolute rotary or linear position via orthogonal and parallel magnetic flux components (BX, BY, BZ). It delivers 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, supports programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output, and operates across −40°C to +125°C in SOIC-8 package. Used in throttle, steering wheel, and pedal position sensing where non-contact robustness is critical.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, SOIC-8 pin mapping, real-world transfer characteristic programming options (4-pt LNR or 17-pt PWL), thermal accuracy data, and validated automotive-grade alternatives.

Technical Context

The MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP 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 = ∠(V₁, k·V₂) using CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar conversion. Its self-compensated algorithm rejects flux density variation, enabling superior thermal stability vs. single-axis Hall sensors.

Signal processing includes chopper-stabilized amplification, programmable FIR/hysteresis filtering, and end-user configurable output modes - analog (rail-to-rail, ratiometric) or PWM (selectable frequency up to 1 kHz, polarity, latch control). All calibration parameters (offset, gain, clamping, discontinuity point, clockwise direction) are stored in EEPROM with Hamming ECC.

Equivalent & Alternatives

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

Alternative Part	Technical Difference	Application Difference	Selection Advice
MLX90363KDC-ABD-000-SP	Same Triaxis® core, but factory-programmed for analog output only; lacks user-configurable PWM mode and 17-pt PWL calibration.	Suitable for cost-sensitive throttle or pedal modules requiring fixed analog transfer function and no field reprogramming.	Select when production volume justifies pre-programmed calibration and PWM functionality is unnecessary.
TAS57xx series (e.g., TAS5756M)	Not a position sensor - audio amplifier IC with unrelated function; invalid substitution.	N/A - incompatible device class and electrical interface.	Avoid: TAS57xx is an audio SoC; no functional or pin compatibility with MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP.

Compared with MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP, MLX90363KDC-ABD-000-SP offers lower system cost and faster startup but sacrifices field-programmability and dual-output flexibility; no valid alternative exists among audio or logic ICs due to fundamental functional mismatch.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP?

The MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C, matching the K-grade specification defined in the ordering code. This range is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements and supports under-hood automotive deployment in throttle bodies, steering columns, and brake modules where ambient heat exposure exceeds 105°C.

Does the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP require external programming hardware?

Yes - programming the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP requires Melexis' PTC-04 programming unit with the dedicated MLX90360 daughterboard and associated DLL software tools. The IC uses supply and output pins for in-system programming; no dedicated programming pins are present, and all calibration, output mode, and transfer function parameters are written to internal EEPROM.

Can the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP output both analog and PWM signals simultaneously?

No - the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP supports only one active output mode at a time: either ratiometric analog voltage or PWM signal. The Output Mode parameter (0x03 for analog, 0x06 for PWM) is programmed into EEPROM and determines which path drives the OUT pin; simultaneous dual-output is not supported by the silicon architecture.

What is the significance of the 'ACD-000' option code in MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP?

The 'ACD-000' option code indicates a standard, unprogrammed version of the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP - meaning its EEPROM contains default factory settings and requires end-user programming for application-specific calibration, output type, and transfer characteristics. It is not pre-configured for analog or PWM use out-of-box.

How does the Triaxis® technology in MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP improve accuracy over conventional Hall sensors?

Triaxis® technology enables the MLX90360KDC-ACD-000-SP to measure all three magnetic vector components (BX, BY, BZ) simultaneously, allowing computation of true magnetic angle independent of field strength. This intrinsic flux-density compensation yields 10-bit thermal accuracy - significantly better than single-axis Hall sensors whose output drifts with temperature-induced sensitivity changes and magnet aging.
