Product details
Overview
MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE from Melexis is an AEC-Q100 qualified absolute rotary and linear position sensor IC based on Triaxis® Hall technology, delivering 12-bit analog or PWM output with 10-bit thermal accuracy, open/short diagnostics, and automotive-grade operation from −40 °C to +125 °C in SOIC-8 package. It decodes absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement using orthogonal and parallel magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ), enabling non-contacting potentiometer replacement in throttle, pedal, and steering systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its programmable multi-point transfer characteristic, ratiometric analog/PWM dual-mode output, thermal offset correction capability, integrated diagnostics, and SOIC-8 footprint compatibility with automotive ECU signal conditioning interfaces.
Technical Context
The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE integrates a Triaxis® Hall front-end sensing all three magnetic flux components (BX, BY, BZ), a 16-bit RISC microcontroller running at 10 MHz (2.5 MIPS), 12-bit DAC for analog output, and 12-bit PWM generator. Its DSP performs real-time coordinate rotation (CoRDiC) to compute absolute angle or linear position from raw sine/cosine signals.
It supports end-user programming of output mode (analog ratiometric or PWM), transfer function (4- or 17-point piecewise-linear), clamping thresholds, filter settings (3 levels), and diagnostic behavior-including open/short, broken VDD/VSS, and field strength monitoring-via on-chip EEPROM with 128 B capacity and 100k-cycle endurance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90365KGO-ACD-000-RE | Dual-die TSSOP-16 variant with full hardware redundancy; higher supply current (2×), isolated diagnostics between dice | Required for ASIL-B/C functional safety architectures where single-point failure tolerance is mandated | Select when ISO 26262 compliance demands redundant signal paths and independent fault detection |
| MLX90365LDC-ACE-000-RE | L-grade (−40 °C to +150 °C) with enhanced thermal offset correction algorithm; same SOIC-8 package | Suitable for extreme under-hood locations (e.g., near turbochargers or exhaust manifolds) where ambient exceeds 125 °C | Select when operating ambient exceeds +125 °C and tighter thermal drift performance is needed |
Compared with MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE, the KGO-ACD-000-RE adds hardware redundancy at the cost of doubled current and larger footprint, while the LDC-ACE-000-RE extends temperature range and improves thermal stability-neither is pin-compatible, but all share identical programming interface and magnetic design rules.

FAQ
What output modes does the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE support?
The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE supports two configurable output modes: ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% of VDD) and pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal with programmable frequency (100–1000 Hz). Mode selection is performed via EEPROM programming during end-of-line calibration; no external components are required to switch between them. Both outputs retain 12-bit resolution and include thermal offset correction. The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE's output stage can be configured as push-pull or open-drain depending on the selected mode and diagnostic settings.
Is the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90365 variants?
No, the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE is not pin-compatible with TSSOP-16 variants such as MLX90365KGO-ACD-000-RE due to differing pin counts (8 vs. 16) and internal die architecture. While both share the same functional block diagram and programming interface, the SOIC-8 version uses a single die with shared resources, whereas the TSSOP-16 implements fully isolated dual dies. The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE requires dedicated SOIC-8 layout and cannot be substituted without PCB revision.
Does the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE require external magnetics or calibration?
The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE requires an external magnet (e.g., diametrically magnetized ring or rod) and a properly designed magnetic circuit (e.g., IMC® concentrator or flux guide) to generate orthogonal BX/BY or axial BZ fields. Factory calibration sets baseline parameters, but end-user programmable multi-point linearization (4- or 17-point) is strongly recommended to compensate for mechanical tolerances and magnet inconsistencies. The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE supports on-board EEPROM storage of these calibration coefficients without external tools.
What diagnostic capabilities does the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE provide?
The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE integrates six diagnostic functions: open-circuit detection, short-to-ground/short-to-VDD on the output, broken VDD/VSS supply lines, insufficient magnetic field strength, PWM-specific timing faults, and configurable hysteresis-based field diagnostics. Diagnostic status is reported via dedicated output states (e.g., clamped low/high) or encoded in PWM duty cycle. All diagnostics are user-configurable via EEPROM and operate continuously during normal operation-no host MCU intervention is required for basic fault detection. The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE's diagnostics meet automotive functional safety requirements for ASIL-A systems.
Can the MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE operate outside the specified 4.5–5.5 V supply range?
The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE is rated for absolute maximum supply voltage of +24 V and reverse voltage of −12 V, but functional operation is guaranteed only between 4.5 V and 5.5 V. Below 4.5 V, power-on reset may not assert correctly, and analog/PWM accuracy degrades; above 5.5 V, internal regulators may overheat or trigger undervoltage lockout. Transient spikes within the absolute max ratings are tolerated briefly, but sustained operation outside 4.5–5.5 V voids AEC-Q100 qualification and invalidates accuracy specs. The MLX90365KDC-ACD-000-RE includes built-in overvoltage and undervoltage detection that asserts diagnostic flags under out-of-range conditions.
