Product details
Overview
MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic magnetic position processor IC for absolute rotary position sensing in stray-field-immune configurations. It features Hall-based 3-axis (Bx/By/Bz) magnetic field sensing, SENT or PWM output, AEC-Q100 qualification (-40°C to +160°C), and ISO 26262 ASIL-C Safety Element out of Context compliance. It delivers robust non-contact angular measurement in automotive throttle and pedal position systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin definitions, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for angular position sensing with stray-field immunity.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE implements a dual-die TSSOP-16 architecture with full redundancy, enabling fault-tolerant operation per ISO 26262 ASIL-C requirements. Its Triaxis® front end captures all three orthogonal magnetic flux components (Bx, By, Bz), enabling precise angular decoding without mechanical contact.
This variant uses the ACE chip revision and -100 option code, configuring it for Angular Rotary Strayfield Immune mode with low-field sensitivity. It supports SAE J2716 APR2016 SENT output (3 µs tick) and programmable piecewise linear transfer characteristics (up to 32 points), with internal diagnostics including intelligent and absolute watchdogs.

Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with full redundancy: two independent dies integrated in one RoHS-compliant surface-mount housing. Pinout supports isolated power, ground, and output paths per die for functional safety compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VDEC1 / VDEC2 | Dedicated decoupling pins per die - require local 100 nF ceramic capacitors to VSS for noise immunity |
| 2, 10, 16 | VSS1 / VSS2 / VSS1 (digital) | Separate analog/digital ground returns per die - mandatory separation preserves ADC integrity and fault isolation |

| 6, 15 | OUT2 / OUT1 | Redundant digital outputs - support cross-checking or voting logic in safety-critical applications |
| 4, 5, 12, 13 | Input1 / Test2 / Input2 / Test1 | Test/application pins internally grounded - must be tied to PCB ground for EMC compliance |
| 7, 14 | N.C. | No-connect terminals - electrically isolated; no routing or soldering required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Stray-field immunity (-100 mode) | Enables reliable angular sensing in high-EMI engine compartments without external magnetic shielding |
| Dual-die TSSOP-16 redundancy | Provides hardware-level fault tolerance: independent dies allow cross-diagnostic comparison and fail-safe state activation |
| Programmable PWL transfer curve | Up to 32-point piecewise linear calibration eliminates post-assembly linearization firmware or external lookup tables |
| SENT with Secure Sensor format | Embedded CRC, status flags, and configurable diagnostic messages reduce host MCU parsing overhead and improve system-level error visibility |
| Integrated watchdog timers | Both Intelligent Watchdog (20 ms timeout) and Absolute Watchdog (20 ms) ensure deterministic recovery from software lockup or sensor freeze |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute rotary position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90372GDC-ACE-100-RE | SOIC-8 single-die package; no redundancy; lower pin count; lacks isolation between VSS1/VSS2 | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical rotary sensing where ASIL-C is not required | Select when functional safety certification is unnecessary and PCB space is constrained. |
| MLX90372GVS-ACE-100-RE | DMP-4 PCB-less package with pinout A (VSS-VDD-OUT-VSS); no test/input pins; built-in decoupling | Optimized for ultra-compact, high-volume modules where assembly cost and footprint are critical | Choose for embedded sensor subassemblies requiring minimal external passives and direct magnet coupling. |
Compared with MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE, the SOIC-8 variant reduces safety capability but lowers BOM cost, while the DMP-4 version trades diagnostic flexibility for miniaturization and simplified layout-neither offers the TSSOP-16's dual-die isolation or independent ground paths essential for ASIL-C decomposition.

FAQ
What is the primary magnetic sensing architecture used in the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE?
The MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE uses Melexis' proprietary Triaxis® Hall technology, which simultaneously measures all three orthogonal components (Bx, By, Bz) of the applied magnetic flux density. This 3D sensing enables absolute angular position calculation from a single rotating magnet without mechanical contact or shielding, and is fundamental to the -100 variant's stray-field immunity in automotive applications.
Does the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE support both SENT and PWM output modes?
Yes, the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE supports both SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016 compliant) and PWM output protocols. Output mode selection is performed during programming via the end-user programmable memory. SENT is configured by default in factory settings and supports secure sensor formatting with CRC, status bits, and diagnostic fields; PWM is enabled as an alternative for legacy or resource-constrained host interfaces.
What safety certifications apply to the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE?
The MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE is certified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (−40°C to +160°C) and qualifies as an ISO 26262 ASIL-C Safety Element out of Context (SEooC). Its dual-die TSSOP-16 implementation includes independent watchdog timers, memory ECC, and hardware-level redundancy-features documented in Melexis' Functional Safety Manual for integration into ASIL-B or ASIL-C systems.
How does the -100 option code affect the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE's performance?
The -100 option code configures the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE for Angular Rotary Strayfield Immune mode with low-field sensitivity. This setting optimizes magnetic front-end gain and filtering to reject interference from nearby current-carrying conductors or magnets, achieving ±0.3° typical INL accuracy in high-EMI environments such as engine bays-without requiring external shielding or recalibration.
What package type and pin count does the MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE use?
The MLX90372GGO-ACE-100-RE uses a TSSOP-16 RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with full hardware redundancy: two independent dies sharing one footprint. It has 16 pins-including dedicated VDD/VSS/VDEC per die, dual SENT outputs (OUT1/OUT2), and isolated test/input paths-enabling true functional safety decomposition per ISO 26262 requirements.
