Product details
Overview
MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position processor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering stray-field immune angular rotary position sensing with SENT 3µs output, ISO26262 ASIL-C safety compliance, and operation from −40°C to +160°C. It decodes magnet angle (0–360°) using Bx/By/Bz field components and supports programmable linear transfer characteristics for automotive pedal and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified functional context, SOIC-8 terminal mapping, SENT timing constraints, stray-field immunity specifications, and validated alternatives for AEC-Q100-compliant non-contact position sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-SP implements a Triaxis® Hall front end with integrated IMC, 12-bit ADC, DSP engine, and SENT/PWM output stage. Its architecture enables robust absolute angle measurement by simultaneously processing orthogonal magnetic flux density components (Bx, By, Bz), eliminating reliance on external magnets or mechanical wipers.
This variant uses the ACE chip revision and -100 option code, configuring it specifically for Angular Rotary Strayfield Immune mode with low-field sensitivity (±25 mT full-scale), SENT 3µs frame timing, and factory-programmed linear transfer characteristic using 4-point PWL interpolation - all validated per SAE J2716 APR2016.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90371GDC-ABF-100-SP | Legacy Triaxis® device with fixed 8-point PWL, no SENT 3 µs support - only PWM output | Lacks SAE J2716 compliance and ASIL-C safety documentation; limited diagnostics | Select only for cost-sensitive legacy redesigns where SENT is not required |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit SPI-output rotary encoder IC with integrated magnet; no stray-field immunity tuning | Requires external magnet calibration; not AEC-Q100 qualified; no SENT interface | Prefer when higher resolution is needed and system-level EMI mitigation is feasible |
Compared with MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-SP, the MLX90371 offers lower integration and no functional safety evidence, while the AS5055A lacks automotive qualification and stray-field resilience - making MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-SP the sole choice for ASIL-C-compliant, SENT-based, high-immunity rotary sensing in production vehicles.
