Product details
Overview
MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based magnetic position processor IC for absolute rotary/linear position sensing. It delivers SENT or PWM output, operates from -40°C to +160°C, supports ISO26262 ASIL-C functional safety, and uses SOIC-8 packaging with stray-field immunity for angular applications.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, automotive-grade accuracy specs, and validated alternative options for pedal, throttle, and steering wheel position sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP implements Triaxis® Hall sensing of Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components to compute absolute angle (0–360°) or linear displacement without contact. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time signal conditioning, piecewise linear (PWL) transfer function mapping, and SENT frame encoding per SAE J2716 APR2016.
It features dual-die isolation only in TSSOP-16 variants-not applicable here-while this SOIC-8 ACC-100 version targets stray-field immune angular sensing with factory-programmed 4-point PWL calibration, SENT 3µs timing mode, and integrated diagnostics including intelligent watchdog (TIWD = 20 ms) and fail-safe state activation within 11.9 ms.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C - Enables under-hood automotive deployment without external thermal derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - Compatible with regulated 5 V rail; supports battery mode (6–18 V) via configuration. |
| Output Interface | SENT or PWM - SENT frames include CRC, error codes, and user-defined values; PWM duty cycle encodes position. |
| Accuracy | ±0.3° typical angular error - Validated for stray-field immune rotary mode (-100 option code) with calibrated magnet path. |
| Functional Safety | ISO26262 ASIL-C SEooC - Provides safety mechanisms (watchdog, memory ECC, diagnostics) as element out of context. |
| Package | SOIC-8 - RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with defined sensitive spot positioning per datasheet Fig. 18.3. |
| Magnetic Immunity | Stray-field immune (low-field variant) - Designed for robust operation in high-EMI environments like engine compartments. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP uses SOIC-8 package (RoHS), with pins 1–8 arranged per Melexis datasheet Section 3.1. Pins Input and Test are internally grounded; unused pins must be connected to PCB ground for EMC compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 4.5–5.5 V regulated supply; internal regulator generates 3.3 V analog reference (VDEC). |
| 2 - Input | Test or auxiliary input | Internally grounded in application; connect to GND for EMC; not used in standard angular sensing mode. |
| 3 - Test | Test or auxiliary input | Internally grounded in application; connect to GND for EMC; reserved for factory test or diagnostics. |
| 4 - N.C. | No connection | Not bonded; must be tied to ground on PCB to minimize noise coupling. |
| 5 - OUT | Digital output driver | Push-pull SENT/PWM output; supports 3–55 kΩ pull-up; short-circuit protected (3 µs response). |
| 6 - VSS | Digital ground | Reference for digital logic and output stage; separate from analog ground (Pin 8) to reduce noise coupling. |
| 7 - VDEC | Decoupling terminal | Connect 100 nF ceramic capacitor to VSS for internal analog voltage regulation stability. |
| 8 - VSS | Analog ground | Reference for Hall front-end and ADC; must be star-connected to minimize analog noise injection. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-RE | Same SOIC-8 package and -100 stray-field immune configuration, but ACE revision replaces ACC; includes enhanced diagnostics and updated firmware. | Identical angular sensing use case; supports same magnetic circuit and SENT timing. | Select ACE-100 for new designs-ACC is not recommended for new designs per Melexis documentation. |
| MLX90363GSE-AAA-000-SP | Single-die SOIC-8 Hall switch (not position processor); outputs digital ON/OFF only; no SENT/PWM programmability or DSP processing. | Limited to threshold-based detection (e.g., end-stop), not absolute position reporting. | Use only where binary state suffices; cannot replace MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP in closed-loop control loops requiring analog-equivalent resolution. |
Compared with MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP, the ACE-100 offers improved diagnostic coverage and lifecycle support, while the MLX90363 provides cost-effective switching but lacks position computation, SENT protocol, or ASIL-C capability-making it unsuitable for safety-critical angular feedback.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP?
The MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP operates from -40°C to +160°C ambient temperature, meeting AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements. This range is validated for continuous operation in engine compartment and transmission control environments. The junction temperature limit is +175°C, and thermal performance data for SOIC-8 is provided in Section 18.17 of the datasheet. MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP maintains full functionality-including SENT output and diagnostics-across this entire range.
Does the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP support both SENT and PWM output modes?
Yes, the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP supports both SENT and PWM output modes via end-user programming. Factory default is SENT with 3 µs tick time (per ordering code -ACC-100). PWM mode provides duty-cycle-modulated position data compatible with standard microcontroller capture inputs. Switching between modes requires reprogramming via Melexis' PTC interface and does not require hardware changes. MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP retains all diagnostics and ASIL-C safety features in either mode.
Is the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP pin-compatible with newer ACE-revision devices?
Yes, the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP is pin-compatible with MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-RE and other SOIC-8 variants in the same family. All share identical SOIC-8 pinout (VDD, Input, Test, N.C., OUT, VSS, VDEC, VSS), mechanical footprint, and soldering profile. However, ACC is not recommended for new designs; ACE revision adds enhanced diagnostics, updated firmware, and extended lifecycle support. MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP can be replaced by ACE-100 without PCB modification.
What magnetic configurations are supported by the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP?
The MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP is configured for stray-field immune angular rotary sensing (option code -100), optimized for low-field magnet arrangements with immunity to external magnetic interference. It supports 0–360° absolute angle measurement using axial or side-shaft magnet topologies. Magnetic sensitivity, linearity, and stray-field rejection are validated per Section 8.1 of the datasheet. MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP does not support linear or high-field variants without reprogramming and recalibration.
How is functional safety implemented in the MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP?
The MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP implements ISO26262 ASIL-C as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), including hardware watchdog (TIWD = 20 ms), memory ECC, startup self-test, and fail-safe output assertion within 11.9 ms of fault detection. Diagnostic coverage is documented in the Melexis Safety Manual (document ID MLX-SM-90372). No external safety controller is required for ASIL-C compliance when used per safety concept. MLX90372GDC-ACC-100-SP integrates these mechanisms directly into the single-die SOIC-8 IC.
