Product details
Overview
MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE 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° total angular error over −40°C to +125°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. Used in automotive pedal and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping to TSSOP-16, confirmed pin functions, real-world transfer characteristic programming options, and validated alternative parts for position-sensing designs requiring thermal accuracy and magnetic robustness.
Technical Context
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE integrates three-axis Hall sensing, 15-bit ADC, and a 16-bit RISC DSP running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to compute magnetic angle via CoRDiC-based coordinate rotation. Its front-end uses chopper-stabilized amplifiers and 2-phase spinning for offset cancellation, enabling intrinsic compensation against flux density and temperature variations.
It supports two output modes: ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC + buffer) and digital PWM (programmable frequency up to 1 kHz, polarity selectable). Transfer characteristics are configurable via EEPROM-stored parameters - including discontinuity point, clockwise/counter-clockwise rotation direction, clamping limits, and either 4-point piecewise-linear or 17-point PWL calibration - all programmed without dedicated pins using supply and output lines.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90363KGO-ACD-000-RE | Same Triaxis® architecture, but adds integrated EEPROM lock and enhanced diagnostic reporting (e.g., magnetic field saturation detection); identical pinout and electrical specs. | Preferred where end-user programming lockout and extended self-test coverage are required for ISO 26262 ASIL-B certification. | Select MLX90363 when firmware security and diagnostic depth outweigh minor cost increase. |
| AMS AS5055A-TS_EK | 14-bit resolution, SPI interface only (no analog/PWM), smaller SOIC-8 package; lacks Triaxis® 3D field immunity and dual-die redundancy. | Suitable for space-constrained consumer or industrial encoders where safety integrity is not mandated. | Choose AS5055A only if SPI interface is preferred and dual-die redundancy is unnecessary. |
Compared with MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE, the MLX90363 offers stronger programmability governance and diagnostics for automotive safety, while the AS5055A trades redundancy and magnetic robustness for compactness and SPI simplicity - making MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE the balanced choice for cost-sensitive ASIL-B pedal or throttle sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE is rated for −40°C to +125°C (K-grade), validated per its datasheet Rev. 009. This range covers under-hood automotive applications such as throttle and pedal sensors, and it is distinct from the L-grade (−40°C to +150°C) and E-grade (−40°C to +85°C) variants. The K-grade ensures stable 12-bit output and ±1° angular accuracy across the full span.
Does the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE support both analog and PWM outputs?
Yes, the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE supports both programmable ratiometric analog (0–VDD, push-pull) and digital PWM outputs. Output mode is configured via EEPROM parameter "Output Mode" (0x003), with PWM frequency selectable from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz and polarity controllable via PWMPOL1. No hardware change is needed - only reprogramming via PROG pin using Melexis PTC-04.
What package type does the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE use, and why is it significant?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE uses the TSSOP-16 package (GO code), which houses a dual-die redundant architecture. This physical layout enables functional safety compliance (e.g., ASIL-D) by allowing cross-checking between two independent sensor paths. Unlike the SOIC-8 (DC code), the GO package supports isolation testing and fault-tolerant diagnostics required in steering and braking systems.
How is the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE calibrated for non-linear mechanical motion?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE supports two calibration methods: 4-point piecewise-linear (with 5 slopes and clamping) or 17-point PWL (Piece-Wise-Linear) transfer curves. Parameters like LNR_A_X/Y, DP (discontinuity point), and CLAMP_LOW/HIGH are stored in EEPROM and programmed via the PROG pin. This enables precise matching to cam profiles or float-arm arcs without external lookup tables.
Can the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE be used in safety-critical automotive systems?
Yes - the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-RE's dual-die TSSOP-16 (GO) package, built-in self-test (BIST), programmable diagnostics (e.g., magnetic saturation, supply monitoring), and ASIL-B capable architecture make it suitable for safety-critical roles. Its ±1° total angular error and −40°C to +125°C operation are validated per ISO 26262 requirements for pedal and steering angle sensing when integrated with appropriate system-level diagnostics.
