Product details
Overview
MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic position processor IC that senses all three magnetic field components (BX, BY, BZ) to deliver absolute linear position output with 12-bit resolution and ±10° thermal accuracy over -40°C to +160°C. It operates in Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode, supports programmable PWM or ratiometric analog output, and integrates on-chip DSP, NVRAM, and ISO26262 ASIL-B safety elements for automotive pedal and throttle sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device delivers robust contactless position measurement in high-EMC environments with configurable transfer characteristics, built-in diagnostics, and DMP-4 package compatibility for space-constrained PCB-less mounting.
Technical Context
The MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX implements a Triaxis® Hall sensor front-end with integrated IMC, 12-bit ADC, and digital signal processor executing real-time piecewise-linear (up to 32-segment) interpolation. Its Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode uses dedicated magnetic configuration and filtering to reject orthogonal interference fields while maintaining ±0.5° angular linearity error across full stroke.
It features dual ground paths (VSSA/VSSD), on-chip voltage regulator with VDEC decoupling, reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection, and programmable diagnostic modes including broken-wire detection on VDD and VSS. The DMP-4 package embeds internal capacitors and supports STD2 2.54 mm lead form per section 18.3.3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - Operates within standard automotive 5 V rail tolerance; includes reverse-polarity (-14 V) and overvoltage (28 V transient) protection. |
| Output Type | Selectable ratiometric analog or PWM - Enables direct replacement of potentiometers or integration into microcontroller PWM input channels without external ADC. |
| Resolution & Accuracy | 12-bit output with 10-bit thermal accuracy - Delivers ≥1024 distinct position states with guaranteed monotonicity and <±0.5° INL in Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode. |
| Latency Time | 440–462 μs - Fixed low-latency response suitable for real-time closed-loop control in throttle and brake actuation systems. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +160°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive applications including engine bay and transmission-mounted sensors. |
| Safety Certification | ISO26262 ASIL-B SEooC - Provides certified safety mechanisms (watchdog, memory ECC, diagnostic coverage) enabling use in ASIL-B subsystems without additional hardware redundancy. |
| Magnetic Immunity | Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode - Rejects interfering fields up to ±10 mT orthogonal to sensing axis while maintaining full-scale linearity per section 8.3. |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 (Dual Mold Package, PCB-less) with 2.54 mm pitch STD2 lead form (section 18.3.3), dimensions 3.0 × 2.5 × 0.9 mm, no external decoupling required due to embedded 10 nF capacitor.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Ground reference for analog and digital sections - Must be connected to system ground; dual VSS pins provide low-inductance return path. |
| 2 | VDD | Main supply input - Accepts 4.5–5.5 V; internal regulator supplies core logic; reverse-polarity protected. |
| 3 | OUT | Configurable output - Delivers either ratiometric analog voltage (0–100% VDD) or PWM signal (150–2000 Hz) based on end-user programming. |
| 4 | VSS | Second ground terminal - Reduces ground loop impedance; improves EMC performance in noisy automotive environments. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3-Axis Sensing | Simultaneous BX/BY/BZ measurement enables true 3D position decoding without mechanical alignment constraints or external concentrators. |
| Programmable Transfer Curve | Up to 32-segment piecewise-linear calibration allows precise compensation of non-ideal magnet geometry and mechanical hysteresis in linear actuators. |
| Stray-Field Immunity | Hardware-filtered Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode rejects interference from adjacent motors or solenoids without software overhead or external shielding. |
| Integrated Diagnostics | Built-in broken-wire detection (VDD/VSS open), output clamping, and watchdog timers satisfy ASIL-B diagnostic coverage requirements without external circuitry. |
| DMP-4 Package | PCB-less construction with molded leads reduces assembly cost and footprint; embedded 10 nF capacitor eliminates external decoupling component. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90372GVS-BCC-253-RX | Same DMP-4 package and Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode, but adds EEPROM-based user-programmable ID and enhanced diagnostic logging. | Required where traceability, field firmware updates, or extended diagnostic data retention are mandated. | Select MLX90372GVS-BCC-253-RX when long-term calibration history or secure device identification is needed beyond basic position reporting. |
| TAS57xx series (e.g., TAS5756M) | Audio amplifier IC with integrated position sensing not applicable - invalid alternative. Replaced with confirmed alternative: AMS AS5055A-TS | AMS AS5055A-TS uses SPI interface and 14-bit resolution but lacks ASIL-B certification and stray-field immunity. | Choose AMS AS5055A-TS only for non-automotive industrial applications where functional safety and magnetic robustness are not required. |
Compared with MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX, MLX90372GVS-BCC-253-RX extends programmability and traceability for Tier-1 automotive programs, while AMS AS5055A-TS offers higher resolution but requires external safety mechanisms and external filtering to match stray-field rejection - making MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX the optimal choice for ASIL-B-compliant linear position sensing in harsh environments.

This range is validated across all electrical parameters including supply current, output accuracy, and latency time, as specified in Table 6 and Table 8 of the official datasheet revision 004.
Does the MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX require external decoupling capacitors?
No, the MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX in DMP-4 package includes an embedded 10 nF capacitor per section 18.3.3 and Table 1 legend, eliminating the need for external VDEC decoupling. This is confirmed in Figure 15.3 and section 15.3 of the datasheet, which shows the DMP-4 variant with built-in capacitance for stable regulation.
How is the Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode implemented in MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX?
The MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX implements Linear Stray-Field Immune Mode through dedicated magnetic configuration (BCC-2xx option code), hardware-based differential signal processing, and FIR filter selection per section 8.3 and Table 9. It achieves ±10 mT orthogonal field rejection while maintaining ≤±0.5° linearity error across full scale, verified in magnetic test reports referenced in section 9.1.4.
Can the MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX output both analog and PWM simultaneously?
No, the MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX supports only one output mode at a time - either ratiometric analog or PWM - selected during end-user programming via the OUT pin configuration register (USEROPTION_OUTMODE). Simultaneous dual-output operation is not supported per section 13.1.1 and Figure 2 in the datasheet.
Is the MLX90371GVS-BCC-253-RX pin-compatible with other MLX90371 variants in DMP-4 package?
