Product details
Overview
MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-effect position sensor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering 12-bit resolution SENT output per SAE J2716-2010, with programmable linear transfer characteristic (3-point LNR), thermal offset correction, and ±150°C operating range. It decodes absolute rotary or linear position from orthogonal and parallel magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) for non-contacting potentiometer replacement in automotive throttle and steering systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified pin functions, real-world accuracy specs (±0.3° magnetic angle error at 25°C), SENT timing compliance (882 μs frame period), thermal drift behavior (±90 LSB15 offset drift at 150°C), and validated alternatives for pedal and ride-height sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP integrates a 16-bit RISC DSP core (2.5 MIPS @ 10 MHz) with on-chip analog signal processing for real-time 3-axis magnetic field vector computation using CoRDiC-based rectangular-to-polar transformation. Its Triaxis® architecture enables single-die absolute angle measurement without external magnets or complex flux concentrators.
It implements SENT protocol with Throttle Sensor Format frames (24–40 frame sequences), diagnostic reporting via fast channel, and configurable FIR filtering (FILTER=0/1/2). The device supports end-user programming of clamping thresholds, discontinuity point, clock-wise direction, and multi-point linearization parameters stored in 128 B EEPROM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Interface | SENT compliant with SAE J2716-2010, Throttle Sensor Format - enables direct connection to automotive ECUs without protocol translation. |
| Resolution & Accuracy | 12-bit resolution, 10-bit thermal accuracy; ±0.3° magnetic angle phase error (XY axis, 25°C) - meets ASIL-B functional safety requirements for pedal position sensing. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C (K-grade) - qualified for under-hood and transmission-mounted applications without derating. |
| Magnetic Sensitivity | Supports BX/BY up to 70 mT, BZ up to 126 mT; IMC gain XY: 1.2–1.8×, Z: 1.1–1.3× - enables robust operation with low-cost ferrite magnets. |
| Supply & Power | 4.5–5.5 V nominal supply; 6–10 mA typical current (power-saving enabled); 20 mA surge during startup - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails. |

| Programmability | End-user configurable 3-point linearization, clamping limits, discontinuity point, and thermal offset correction - eliminates need for external calibration hardware. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP uses RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.75 mm), optimized for surface-mount assembly and high-voltage isolation (24 V overvoltage tolerance).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VDD | Main supply input (4.5–5.5 V); internal voltage regulator feeds digital and analog blocks - requires local 100 nF ceramic decoupling. |
| 2 | Test 0 | Factory test pin; must be connected to VSS for EMC compliance - not user-accessible in final design. |
| 3 | Test 2 | Factory test pin; must be connected to VSS for EMC compliance - no functional role in application circuit. |
| 4 | Not Used | No internal connection; recommended to tie to VSS for noise immunity - avoids floating node coupling. |
| 5 | OUT | SENT serial output (open-drain, 18 V tolerant); delivers calibrated angle data and diagnostics - requires 14.7 kΩ pull-up to VDD per J2716. |
| 6 | Test 1 | Factory test pin; must be connected to VSS for EMC compliance - unused in production firmware. |
| 7 | VDIG | Digital supply domain (internally regulated from VDD); powers DSP, EEPROM, and SENT logic - shares VDD but isolated internally. |
| 8 | VSS | Analog/digital ground reference; common return path for all currents - must be low-impedance PCB plane connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-Axis Field Sensing | Simultaneous BX, BY, BZ measurement enables true 3D position decoding - eliminates mechanical wipers and contact wear in rotary/linear sensors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90367KGO-ACX-000-RE | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with full redundancy; includes thermal offset correction and 17-point LNR - higher ASIL-D readiness. | Required for dual-channel safety-critical steering angle or brake-by-wire systems where fault tolerance is mandated. | Select when ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance is required; not pin-compatible due to TSSOP-16 footprint and doubled pin count. |
| MLX90393ELQ-AAA-000-SP | Triaxis® 3-axis magnetic sensor with I²C/SPI interface; 16-bit resolution; no SENT output - software-configurable but lacks embedded diagnostics. | Suitable for industrial robotics or medical devices needing flexible communication and high-resolution field mapping, not automotive ECU integration. | Choose for non-automotive applications requiring digital bus flexibility; requires external MCU for SENT emulation and failsafe logic. |
Compared with MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP, the GO-ACX variant adds hardware redundancy and extended linearization at the cost of PCB area and layout complexity, while the MLX90393 offers higher resolution and interface flexibility but shifts diagnostic responsibility to the host system - making the KDC-ABU optimal for cost-sensitive, ECU-direct SENT applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP?
The MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP is rated for −40°C to +150°C ambient operation (K-grade), validated per AEC-Q100 Grade 0. This range supports under-hood placement in modern turbocharged engines and transmission-mounted applications without thermal derating. The device maintains specified accuracy and SENT timing integrity across the full range, with thermal offset correction active up to 150°C.
Does the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP support SENT protocol version compatibility?
Yes, the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP implements SENT per SAE J2716-2010 (Revision 3), including Throttle Sensor Format frames and Secure Sensor Format options. It supports both 24-frame short sequences and 40-frame extended sequences, with configurable pause pulses and CRC2010 checksum. Backward compatibility with J2716-2007 is maintained via CRC2007 selection bit.
How is the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP calibrated for different magnetic configurations?
The MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP supports end-user calibration via its 128 B EEPROM: users program 3-point linearization coordinates (LNRAX/LNRCY), clamping thresholds (CLAMPLOW/CLAMPHIGH), and sensitivity mismatch factors (SMISM/K). Calibration is performed once during final test using Melexis' PTM software - no external DACs or trim resistors required.
What is the meaning of "ABU-000" in the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP part number?
"ABU-000" denotes a specific die revision and configuration within the MLX90367 family: "AB" indicates an early production variant (not recommended for new designs per Melexis documentation), "U" specifies the 3-point LNR parameter set (AxU), and "000" confirms standard packaging and marking. While functionally identical to ACU-xxx versions, ABU-000 units may lack latest EEPROM defaults and thermal offset tuning.
Can the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP be used in safety-critical ASIL-B systems?
Yes, the MLX90367KDC-ABU-000-SP supports ASIL-B compliance through integrated diagnostics: SENT fast-channel error reporting (broken VDD/VSS, open load), watchdog timer (114.5–121.5 ms), and self-test capability per section 16 of the datasheet. Its 150°C rating, 48-bit ID traceability, and EEPROM lock features meet ISO 26262 hardware requirements for throttle and pedal sensing.
