Product details
Overview
MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic position sensor IC sensitive to all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling absolute rotary or linear position measurement with 12-bit resolution and ±1° typical angular accuracy over −40°C to +150°C. It delivers a pre-programmed ratiometric analog output, features on-chip DSP-based angle computation, and operates in SOIC-8 package for automotive pedal, throttle, and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional identity, confirmed SOIC-8 pin mapping, calibrated analog transfer characteristics, thermal accuracy data across full temperature range, and validated alternative options for position-sensing designs requiring robust non-contact operation.
Technical Context
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP integrates a tri-axis Hall front-end, 15-bit ADC, and 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz to compute magnetic angle via CoRDiC-based coordinate transformation (α = ∠(V₁, k·V₂)). Its self-compensated architecture rejects flux density variations, delivering improved thermal stability versus conventional linear Hall sensors.
Signal processing includes programmable FIR/hysteresis filtering, multi-point (4-pt or 17-pt) piecewise-linear transfer function calibration, and EEPROM-stored parameters with Hamming ECC. The device supports ratiometric analog output only (pre-programmed ACD-200 variant), with rail-to-rail push-pull drive and clamping limits set during factory programming.

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-100-SP | Same SOIC-8 package and L-grade temp range, but offers user-programmable PWM/analog output and 4-pt LNR calibration - requires programming infrastructure | Supports flexible output protocol selection and field recalibration; lacks ACD-200's factory-set analog linearity | Select when system-level calibration capability exists and dual-output flexibility adds value |
| TAS5760MDAPR | Not a position sensor - audio amplifier IC; invalid substitution. Omitted due to functional mismatch. | N/A | Not applicable - excluded per validation requirement |
Compared with MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP, MLX90363LDC-ABD-100-SP trades factory calibration for programmability, increasing design flexibility at the cost of added production test complexity; no valid drop-in alternatives exist outside Melexis' MLX9036x family due to Triaxis® architecture uniqueness.

FAQ
What is the output configuration of MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP?
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP provides a pre-programmed ratiometric analog output only - it does not support PWM mode. The output spans 0–100% of VDD with rail-to-rail push-pull drive capability, configured during manufacturing to deliver linear position response without requiring end-user programming. This fixed analog behavior is defined by the ACD-200 option code.
Does MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP require external programming for basic operation?
No, MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP is fully functional out-of-box. The ACD-200 option indicates factory programming of analog transfer characteristics (offset, gain, clamping), eliminating the need for PTC-04 programmer or calibration setup. Only VDD, GND, and load connection are required for immediate analog position reporting - ideal for high-volume automotive modules.
What is the maximum operating temperature for MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP?
The MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +150°C, as indicated by the 'L' temperature suffix. This L-grade qualification meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements and supports placement in demanding locations such as engine compartments, transmission housings, and brake assemblies where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Can MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP replace a traditional potentiometer?
Yes, MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP is designed as a direct non-contact replacement for resistive potentiometers in rotary and linear position sensing. Its ratiometric analog output matches potentiometer voltage-divider behavior, while offering superior lifetime (>100 million cycles), immunity to wear, vibration, dust, and moisture - with identical 0–100% VDD scaling and SOIC-8 footprint compatibility.
What magnetic field strength is required for reliable operation of MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP?
MLX90360LDC-ACD-200-SP operates reliably with total magnetic flux density between ±20 mT and ±80 mT. This range accommodates common NdFeB or ferrite magnets at air gaps of 1–5 mm, enabling simple magnetic circuit design without concentrators. Field uniformity and orientation relative to the IC surface (per datasheet Section 19.3) are more critical than absolute strength for optimal accuracy.
