Product details
Overview
MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE 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 and ±1° total accuracy over −40°C to +150°C. It delivers ratiometric analog or programmable PWM output, features on-chip DSP-based angle extraction, and is housed in an RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package. Used in automotive throttle and steering wheel position sensing where non-contact reliability and thermal stability are critical.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed transfer characteristic programming options, real-world application cards for pedal/steering/float-level/ride-height systems, and two field-deployed alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE integrates three orthogonal Hall plates feeding a 15-bit ADC and a 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), executing CoRDiC-based angle computation: α = ∠(V₁, k·V₂). Its front-end uses chopper-stabilized amplifiers and 2-phase spinning for offset cancellation, enabling intrinsic compensation against flux density and temperature drift.
Output conditioning supports either 12-bit ratiometric analog (rail-to-rail, push-pull) or programmable PWM (100–1000 Hz, configurable polarity and latch), both fully user-programmable via supply/output pins using PTC-04 tools-no dedicated programming interface required. Calibration includes 4-point piecewise-linear or 17-point PWL transfer functions with clamping, stored in ECC-protected EEPROM.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-contacting potentiometer replacement delivering ratiometric output synchronized to pedal actuation timing. Use Value: Triaxis® architecture eliminates mechanical wear and contact bounce; programmable clamping prevents signal saturation during full pedal travel. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90363LDC-ABD-000-RE | Same SOIC-8 package and Triaxis® architecture but adds integrated EEPROM write protection and enhanced diagnostic flags per ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements. | Required where functional safety certification (e.g., ASIL-B) is mandated; not drop-in due to updated programming protocol. | Select MLX90363 when safety-critical system validation demands certified diagnostics and memory lock. |
| TLE5012BE1000XUMA1 | Infineon's 3D Hall sensor with 16-bit SPI output only; no analog/PWM dual-mode; requires external MCU for angle processing. | Suitable for designs already using SPI interfaces and host-based calibration; lacks standalone analog output capability. | Choose TLE5012B if system architecture favors digital-only communication and centralized signal processing. |
Compared with MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE, MLX90363 offers certified safety features at the cost of programming complexity, while TLE5012B shifts computational load to the host but removes analog output flexibility-making MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE optimal for cost-sensitive, self-contained analog/PWM systems requiring field programmability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE?
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE operates from −40°C to +150°C, validated per its 'L' temperature grade designation. This range supports direct mounting in high-heat automotive environments such as engine compartments and transmission housings. All electrical specifications-including accuracy, output linearity, and response time-are guaranteed across this full span without derating. The device uses on-chip thermal compensation algorithms to maintain ±1° total angle accuracy throughout.
Does the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE support both analog and PWM outputs simultaneously?
No, the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE supports only one output mode at a time-either ratiometric analog or PWM-as configured during programming via the OUT pin. The selected mode is stored in EEPROM and persists through power cycles. Switching between modes requires reprogramming using the Melexis PTC-04 tool and MLX90360 daughterboard; it cannot be dynamically toggled in runtime. This design ensures deterministic signal behavior in safety-critical applications.
How is the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE programmed for custom transfer characteristics?
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE is programmed using its VDD and OUT pins-no dedicated programming interface is needed. Melexis' PTC-04 programmer with MLX90360-specific firmware configures parameters including 4-point or 17-point transfer curves, clamping levels, zero-degree point (DP), and clockwise direction flag. All settings are written to ECC-protected EEPROM. Factory or end-of-line calibration is supported, and programming does not require soldering changes or additional hardware.
What magnetic field strength is required for reliable operation of the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE?
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE operates reliably with peak magnetic flux densities between ±15 mT and ±30 mT, as specified in its magnetic sensitivity table. It is optimized for use with standard ferrite or NdFeB magnets positioned at air gaps of 1–4 mm. The Triaxis® architecture's orthogonal+parallel field detection allows robust operation even with field misalignment or mechanical tolerance stack-up-eliminating need for precision magnet orientation or flux concentrators in most implementations.
Is the MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE pin-compatible with other devices in the MLX9036x family?
Yes, all SOIC-8 variants in the MLX9036x family-including MLX90360LDC-ACD-000-RE, MLX90363LDC-ABD-000-RE, and MLX90364LDC-ADD-000-RE-share identical pinout, footprint, and supply requirements. However, firmware, EEPROM structure, and diagnostic capabilities differ; thus, they are not functionally interchangeable without reprogramming and validation. The 'LDC' package code guarantees SOIC-8 mechanical compatibility across the series.
