Product details
Overview
MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic absolute position sensor IC that measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to compute angular or linear displacement with 12-bit resolution and ±0.5° typical total accuracy over −40°C to +125°C. It delivers programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output and supports multi-point linearization for automotive pedal, steering, and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include its TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture, programmable transfer characteristic (4-pt or 17-pt LNR), thermal accuracy vs. conventional Hall sensors, and end-user EEPROM programming via supply/output pins without dedicated programming hardware.
Technical Context
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU integrates a tri-axis Hall front-end, 15-bit ADC, and 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to execute real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) for magnetic angle extraction. Its self-compensated algorithm inherently rejects flux density variations, enabling stable angular output across temperature and air-gap changes.
Signal processing includes chopper-stabilized amplification, programmable FIR/hysteresis filtering, and on-chip analog signal processing (ASP) followed by digital signal processing (DSP). Output conditioning supports either 12-bit DAC-based ratiometric analog voltage or configurable PWM (frequency selectable from 100 Hz to 1 kHz, polarity programmable).
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-TU | Same Triaxis® architecture but with extended 16-bit analog resolution and improved ±0.3° total accuracy; higher cost and longer lead time | Preferred for ASIL-C systems or where <±0.3° accuracy is mandated (e.g., steer-by-wire) | Select MLX90363 when tighter accuracy and higher resolution justify premium cost and qualification effort |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | Single-die Hall-based rotary encoder with 12-bit output; lacks Triaxis® 3D sensing and dual-die redundancy; lower thermal accuracy (±1.0°) | Suitable for non-safety-critical industrial knobs or HVAC dampers-not qualified for automotive under-hood use | Choose AS5055A only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where redundancy and thermal stability are not required |
Compared with MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU, the MLX90363 offers higher precision at increased cost and complexity, while the AS5055A provides basic functionality at lower price but without automotive qualification, redundancy, or Triaxis® robustness-making MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU the optimal balance for mainstream ASIL-B automotive position sensing.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU is rated for −40°C to +125°C operation, matching the K-grade automotive specification. This range covers under-hood environments including engine compartments and transmission control units. The device maintains ±0.5° typical total angular accuracy across this full span due to its Triaxis® architecture and on-chip thermal compensation algorithms. No derating or external heatsinking is required within these limits.
Does the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No, the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU supports only one output mode at a time-either ratiometric analog voltage or PWM-selected via EEPROM-programmable Output Mode parameter. The analog output uses a 12-bit DAC and push-pull driver; the PWM output offers frequency (100–1000 Hz) and polarity configurability. Simultaneous dual-output operation is not implemented in the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU silicon or firmware.
How is the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU programmed for custom transfer characteristics?
The MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU is programmed via its VDD and OUT pins using Melexis' PTC-04 programmer and MLX90360 daughterboard-no dedicated programming pins are needed. Users configure 4-point or 17-point linearization, clamping levels, zero-degree point, and clockwise/counter-clockwise direction in EEPROM. All parameters persist after power cycle and survive >100k write cycles per datasheet spec.
What does the "GO" in MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU indicate about the package?
The "GO" in MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU denotes the TSSOP-16 package with dual-die redundancy. Unlike the "DC" (SOIC-8) variant, the GO version integrates two independent sensor dies on one die for functional safety diagnostics. It measures 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm with 0.65 mm pitch, supports RoHS-compliant reflow, and is qualified for automotive under-hood use per AEC-Q100 Grade 1.
Can the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU be used in safety-critical ASIL-B systems?
Yes, the MLX90360KGO-ACD-000-TU is architected for ASIL-B compliance: its TSSOP-16 GO package contains two independent sensor dies (DIE1/DIE2) enabling cross-check diagnostics, and it includes built-in self-test (BIST), EEPROM ECC, and configurable watchdog timers. Melexis provides ISO 26262 documentation packages-including FMEDA and safety manuals-for integration into ASIL-B automotive systems such as throttle and steering control.
