Product details

Overview

MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic absolute position sensor IC sensitive to all three orthogonal magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling high-accuracy rotary or linear position measurement. It delivers 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, supports programmable ratiometric analog or PWM output, and operates across −40°C to 150°C in TSSOP-16 package - used in automotive throttle, steering wheel, and pedal position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed transfer characteristic programming capability, real-world application cards, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for position-sensing designs requiring robust non-contact operation under extended temperature stress.

Technical Context

The MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP integrates a tri-axis Hall front-end, 15-bit ADC, and 16-bit RISC DSP core running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS) to compute angular position via CoRDiC-based coordinate rotation. Its dual-die TSSOP-16 architecture enables full redundancy and meets ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements for functional safety-critical systems.

Signal processing includes chopper-stabilized amplification, programmable multi-point (4-pt or 17-pt) piece-wise-linear transfer characteristics, configurable clamping (CLAMP_LOW/CLAMP_HIGH), and on-chip EEPROM with Hamming ECC for calibration data storage - all accessible via supply/output pins without dedicated programming interfaces.

Key Specifications

Operating Temp	−40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive applications including engine bay throttle and transmission position sensing.
Output Options	Ratiometric analog (rail-to-rail, push-pull) or PWM - selectable via EEPROM programming; no hardware change required.
Resolution	12-bit DAC output with 10-bit thermal accuracy - ensures stable position reporting across wide temperature gradients without external compensation.
Magnetic Sensing	Triaxis® (BX/BY/BZ) - enables single-IC absolute angle extraction from rotating or linearly moving magnets without mechanical gearing or multi-sensor alignment.
Package	TSSOP-16 dual-die - provides full hardware redundancy and isolation voltage >2.5 kV_rms, supporting ASIL-B system-level fault tolerance.
Programmability	End-user EEPROM configuration of transfer curve (4-pt LNR or 17-pt PWL), zero-degree point, clockwise direction, clamping, and diagnostics - eliminates need for custom firmware or external microcontroller.

Pinout & Package

TSSOP-16 package with dual-die redundant architecture; RoHS compliant; body dimensions 5.0 × 4.4 × 1.2 mm per JEDEC MO-153.

Pin/Terminal	Circuit Role	Design Meaning

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 dual-die TSSOP-16 package but rated for −40°C to 125°C (K-grade); identical pinout, programming interface, and transfer function capability.	Suitable for non-under-hood applications such as HVAC damper control or seat position where ambient temperature stays below 125°C.	Select when full 150°C operation is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized - shares same production tooling and calibration workflow.
AS5055A-BSOT	Single-die 12-bit Hall-based encoder in SOIC-8; lacks Triaxis® 3D sensing, dual-die redundancy, and 17-pt PWL calibration - max accuracy ±0.5° typical.	Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial rotary encoders where ASIL compliance and extreme thermal stability are not required.	Choose only if design constraints prohibit TSSOP-16 footprint or dual-die architecture - requires external MCU for advanced transfer curve shaping.

Compared with MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP, the MLX90363KGO-ACD-000-TU offers identical functionality at lower temperature grade and cost, while the AS5055A-BSOT trades redundancy, thermal accuracy, and programmability for smaller size and simpler integration - making it viable only in non-safety-critical contexts.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature of the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP?

The MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +150°C, as confirmed by its 'L' temperature code and qualification testing per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This makes it suitable for under-hood applications including engine-mounted throttle bodies and transmission shift actuators where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.

Does the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP support both analog and PWM output simultaneously?

No - the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP supports either ratiometric analog output or PWM output, selected via EEPROM programming parameter OUTPUT_MODE. Both modes share the same OUT pin and cannot operate concurrently; switching requires reprogramming the device using the Melexis PTC-04 programmer and MLX90360 daughterboard.

How is redundancy implemented in the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP?

The MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP uses a dual-die TSSOP-16 package where two independent MLX90360 sensor dies occupy the same footprint. Each die performs full position computation and self-diagnosis; their outputs can be compared externally to detect single-point failures - satisfying ASIL-B requirements per ISO 26262 without additional components.

Can the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP measure linear position, or is it limited to rotary applications?

Yes - the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP measures absolute linear position when paired with a properly designed linear magnetic circuit (e.g., a moving bar magnet). Its Triaxis® sensing captures BX, BY, and BZ components to resolve position along a stroke axis, as validated in Figure 2 of the datasheet and used in float-level and ride height sensors.

What programming tools are required to configure the MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP transfer function?

Configuration requires the Melexis PTC-04 universal programmer with MLX90360-specific daughterboard and Melexis-provided software (DLL-based API or GUI). Programming uses only VDD, GND, and OUT pins - no dedicated JTAG or SWD interface is needed. The MLX90360LGO-ACD-000-SP stores all calibration data (including 17-pt PWL points) in on-chip EEPROM with Hamming ECC protection.
