Melexis Technologies NV MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE

Overview

MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic Hall-effect position sensor IC delivering absolute rotary or linear position via SENT output (SAE J2716-2010), with 12-bit resolution, ±1° angular accuracy over −40°C to +150°C, and integrated IMC-based 3-axis magnetic field sensing (BX/BY/BZ). It enables non-contacting potentiometer replacement in automotive throttle and steering wheel position sensing.

For engineers reviewing the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified pin mapping for SOIC-8, thermal offset correction capability, SENT frame timing (882 µs period), programmable 17-point linearization, and dual-die redundancy context - all confirmed for the ABV-000 variant.

Technical Context

The MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE implements Triaxis® technology using an integrated magneto-concentrator (IMC) to simultaneously measure orthogonal (BZ) and in-plane (BX, BY) magnetic flux components, enabling full 360° absolute angle computation via CoRDiC-based DSP. Its on-chip RISC CPU (2.5 MIPS @ 10 MHz) executes real-time field processing and SENT encoding.

This variant uses the SOIC-8 package (DC code), supports SENT Throttle Sensor and Secure Sensor formats, delivers enhanced serial messages with diagnostic error codes, and features user-programmable 17-point linear transfer characteristic (LNR) per Melexis documentation - distinguishing it from ABU/ACU variants with fewer LNR points or no thermal offset correction.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (8-pin, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), with exposed die pad not electrically connected. Unused test pins must be tied to ground per Melexis EMC recommendations.

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.

Compared with MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE, the ACV-000 variant omits thermal offset correction - reducing calibration complexity but limiting high-temp zero-point stability - while the KGO-ACX-000 adds physical redundancy at the cost of larger footprint and doubled power consumption, targeting safety-critical rather than standard automotive subsystems.

FAQ

What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE?

The MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE is rated for −40°C to +150°C ambient operation (L-grade), validated per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive use. This range covers critical applications such as throttle position sensing and steering angle measurement where sustained high-temperature exposure occurs. The device maintains specified accuracy and SENT functionality across this full range, with thermal offset correction actively compensating for zero-point drift.

Does the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE support SENT protocol compliance with SAE J2716-2010?

Yes, the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE fully complies with SAE J2716-2010 for SENT output, supporting both Throttle Sensor and Secure Sensor frame formats. It delivers 12-bit position data with diagnostic flags, OEM-defined serial messages, and CRC-protected error reporting - all confirmed in the official Melexis datasheet Revision 7.0. The 882 µs frame period and 1745 µs total latency are fixed timing parameters for this variant.

What package type and pin count does the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE use?

The MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE uses a RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (8-pin, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch) as indicated by the "DC" package code in its ordering designation. Pinout is validated per datasheet Section 20.2 and includes VDD, VSS, SENT output (OUT), VDIG, and four test pins (all to be grounded for EMC). No exposed thermal pad is present.

How many programmable linearization points does the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE support?

The MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE supports 17-point programmable linear transfer characteristic (LNR), as confirmed by its "ABV" option code and Melexis documentation specifying AxV and AxX variants for 17-point LNR. This enables precise end-user calibration of system-level nonlinearities caused by magnet geometry, air gap variation, or mechanical tolerances - distinct from the 3-point LNR in ACU variants.

Is thermal output offset correction available on the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE?

Yes, thermal output offset correction is explicitly enabled in the MLX90367EDC-ABV-000-RE, as documented in Section 15.1.6 of the datasheet and confirmed by its ABV option code (which maps to AxX functionality). This feature dynamically compensates for temperature-induced zero-point drift, improving absolute angle accuracy in applications like steering wheel position sensing where thermal stability is critical.
