Product details
Overview
MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic absolute position sensor IC that senses orthogonal and parallel magnetic flux components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute angular or linear displacement with 12-bit resolution, programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output, and operation across −40°C to +125°C. It enables non-contacting rotary/linear sensing in automotive pedal, steering, and throttle systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its TSSOP-16 dual-die redundancy, 10-bit thermal accuracy over temperature, programmable 4-point or 17-point piecewise-linear transfer characteristic, and integrated self-diagnostic capability per ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements.
Technical Context
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology with on-chip signal processing: three-axis Hall front-end feeds a 15-bit ADC, followed by a 16-bit RISC DSP executing CoRDiC-based angle extraction (α = ∠(V₁, k·V₂)). Its firmware governs magnetic angle computation, output protocol selection, and end-user calibration.
It supports two output modes-ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC + buffer) and digital PWM-with fully programmable transfer characteristics: either 4 arbitrary calibration points (5-segment linear interpolation + clamping) or 17 equidistant points over user-defined angular ranges (65.5°–360°), both stored in EEPROM with Hamming ECC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Selectable ratiometric analog (rail-to-rail push-pull) or PWM output - enables direct replacement of potentiometers without external conditioning. |
| Resolution | 12-bit digital angle resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy - ensures stable position reporting across −40°C to +125°C without recalibration. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C (K-grade) - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including throttle and steering position sensing. |
| Magnetic Sensing | Triaxis® 3-axis (BX, BY, BZ) sensing - allows absolute position decoding from a single moving magnet in rotary or linear configurations. |
| Accuracy | ±0.3° typical total angular error (TAEC) at 25°C, ±1.0° max over full temperature range - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements for critical vehicle controls. |
| Package | TSSOP-16 with dual-die full redundancy - provides hardware-level fault tolerance required for safety-critical automotive subsystems. |
| Programmability | End-user configurable via supply/output pins using PTC-04 programmer - supports field calibration of offset, gain, clamping, and transfer curve without dedicated programming interface. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with dual-die redundancy; RoHS compliant; body dimensions 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm × 1.2 mm; exposed thermal pad (pin 16) recommended for grounding to improve EMC and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDD | Supply voltage input | 5 V ±10% nominal; powers analog front-end, DSP core, and output stage; internal LDO not present - requires clean, regulated supply. |
| GND | Ground reference | Primary ground return for analog/digital domains; pin 16 (exposed pad) must be connected to GND for optimal EMC and thermal dissipation. |
| OUT | Programmable output | Configurable as ratiometric analog (0–VDD) or PWM (0–100% duty cycle); push-pull driver capable of sourcing/sinking ≥10 mA. |
| NC | No-connect terminal | Pins 3, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 13, 14 are unused in single-die mode but reserved for dual-die redundancy - must be tied to GND per datasheet for EMC compliance. |
| SDO/SDI | Serial data I/O | Shared pin for programming and diagnostics; bidirectional communication uses Manchester-encoded protocol over VDD/OUT lines - no dedicated SPI/I²C interface. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-axis Hall sensing | Enables absolute position measurement from a single magnet in any orientation - eliminates need for complex multi-sensor assemblies or mechanical linkages. |
| Dual-die TSSOP-16 redundancy | Provides hardware-level fault detection and fail-safe output behavior - satisfies ASIL-B requirements for automotive safety-critical functions. |
| 17-point piecewise-linear calibration | Reduces system-level non-linearity to <±0.1% FS by fitting custom transfer curves across 16 segments - supports high-precision applications like ride height control. |
| On-chip self-diagnostics | Monitors supply, temperature, magnetic field saturation, EEPROM integrity, and DSP execution - reports faults via analog/PWM output or dedicated diagnostic pin. |
| EEPROM with Hamming ECC | Stores calibration, configuration, and ID data with error correction - ensures >100k write cycles and >15-year data retention at 125°C. |
Applications

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-SP | Same Triaxis® architecture, TSSOP-16, −40°C to +125°C, but adds SENT output protocol and enhanced diagnostics per ISO 26262 ASIL-B. | Required where OEM mandates SENT interface or higher diagnostic coverage (DC < 90%) for powertrain applications. | Select MLX90363 when SENT compliance or extended diagnostic logging is mandatory; otherwise MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP offers identical core sensing with lower system cost. |
| AMS AS5055A-TS_EK | Single-die TSSOP-16, 14-bit resolution, SPI interface only, no PWM/analog dual-mode output, −40°C to +125°C, no built-in redundancy. | Suitable for non-safety-critical industrial encoders or consumer robotics where cost and SPI integration outweigh redundancy needs. | Choose AS5055A-TS_EK only if SPI-native host MCU exists and ASIL-B compliance is not required; lacks MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP's analog/PWM flexibility and dual-die fault tolerance. |
Compared with MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP, MLX90363KGO-ACD-000-SP adds SENT output and deeper diagnostics at marginally higher cost, while AS5055A-TS_EK trades redundancy and dual-output flexibility for SPI simplicity and lower unit price - making MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP the optimal balance of safety, configurability, and cost for mainstream automotive position sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP is rated for operation from −40°C to +125°C, corresponding to the 'K' temperature grade in its ordering code. This range is validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and supports under-hood automotive applications such as throttle and steering position sensing where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No, the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP supports only one output mode at a time - either ratiometric analog or PWM - selected during programming via the Output Mode parameter. The device does not provide concurrent dual-output capability; switching requires reprogramming the EEPROM configuration using the Melexis PTC-04 tool.
How is the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP programmed for custom transfer characteristics?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP is programmed using the Melexis PTC-04 programmer with MLX90360 daughterboard and配套 software. Calibration parameters - including 4-point or 17-point LNR tables, clamping levels, and zero-degree point - are written via the supply (VDD) and output (OUT) pins using Manchester-encoded serial protocol, eliminating need for dedicated programming pins.
What is the significance of the 'GO' package code in MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP?
The 'GO' package code denotes TSSOP-16 with dual-die full redundancy - two independent sensor dies integrated into a single package with separate signal paths and fault-monitoring logic. This architecture enables hardware-level comparison and fail-safe output behavior required for ASIL-B automotive safety applications.
Can the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP be used in linear position sensing applications?
Yes, the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-SP supports linear position sensing via appropriate magnet geometry (e.g., moving bar magnet perpendicular to IC surface). Its Triaxis® architecture measures all three magnetic vector components, enabling robust linear stroke detection with programmable transfer characteristics - confirmed in Figure 2 and Section 2 of the datasheet.
