Product details
Overview
MLX90367KGO-ABU-000-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-effect position sensor IC in TSSOP-16 package, delivering 12-bit absolute angular or linear position measurement via SENT output (SAE J2716-2010). It senses all three magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) for robust non-contact sensing in harsh environments, with thermal offset correction and programmable transfer characteristics. Used in automotive throttle and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90367KGO-ABU-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection factors include SENT protocol compliance, dual-die redundancy, ±150°C operating range, 12-bit resolution with 10-bit thermal accuracy, and programmable multi-point linearization for rotary/linear position decoding.
Technical Context
The MLX90367KGO-ABU-000-SP implements Triaxis® technology using integrated magneto-concentrators to measure orthogonal (BZ) and in-plane (BX, BY) magnetic flux components simultaneously. Its on-chip RISC DSP performs real-time rectangular-to-polar conversion (CoRDiC), angle calculation, and SENT frame encoding.
This variant uses a dual-die architecture in TSSOP-16 for full functional redundancy, supports SENT Throttle Sensor and Secure Sensor formats, and includes diagnostics such as broken VDD/VSS detection, watchdog timeout, and enhanced serial message error reporting - all configurable via EEPROM.

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 | Same dual-die TSSOP-16 package and K-temp grade, but ACX option adds thermal output offset correction and 17-pt LNR calibration | Required where thermal drift compensation is mandatory (e.g., engine-mounted throttle bodies) | Select MLX90367KGO-ACX-000-RE when thermal offset correction is needed; ABU lacks this feature |
| MLX90364KGO-ABU-000-RE | Single-die variant in same TSSOP-16 package; identical pinout but no redundancy; lower cost; no dual-die isolation resistance spec | Suitable for non-safety-critical applications (e.g., HVAC flap control) where ASIL compliance is not required | Choose MLX90364KGO-ABU-000-RE only if functional redundancy is unnecessary and cost optimization is prioritized |
Compared with MLX90367KGO-ABU-000-SP, the ACX variant adds essential thermal compensation for high-precision automotive use cases, while the MLX90364 offers cost savings at the expense of safety redundancy - making ABU the balanced choice for mid-tier ASIL-B designs requiring proven reliability without premium features.
