Product details
Overview
MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-effect position processor IC for absolute rotary and linear position sensing. It delivers SENT 3µs output with programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristic (32-point), operates from -40°C to +160°C, features ISO26262 ASIL-C safety certification, and uses PCB-less DMP-4 package with Pinout-A for compact automotive pedal and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin definitions for DMP-4 Pinout-A, real-world accuracy specs in legacy mode, SENT timing compliance per SAE J2716 APR2016, and validated alternative options for angular position sensing in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components, enabling robust absolute angle decoding without mechanical contact. Its on-chip DSP supports 32-point PWL calibration and stray-field immunity in standard (-300) configuration.
It implements SENT 3µs mode with built-in decoupling capacitors in DMP-4 package (Pinout-A), delivers 12-bit effective resolution, and includes dual watchdog timers (IWD/AWD) with 20 ms timeout - all compliant with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and ISO26262 ASIL-C as a Safety Element out of Context.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90371GVS-ABD-300-SP | Single-die DMP-4, SENT-only output, no PWM option, 16-point PWL max | Limited to basic angular sensing; lacks ASIL-C SEooC documentation and enhanced diagnostics | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs functional safety requirements and 32-point linearity is unnecessary |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | 14-bit SPI/I²C output, no SENT, requires external MCU for protocol translation and diagnostics | Requires host processor intervention for error reporting; not drop-in for SENT-based ECUs | Choose only if existing architecture mandates SPI interface and system-level ASIL decomposition is feasible |
Compared with MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP, MLX90371GVS-ABD-300-SP reduces BOM cost but forfeits ASIL-C traceability and advanced SENT diagnostics, while AMS AS5055A-BQFT shifts safety-critical processing to software - increasing validation burden and limiting real-time fault response.

FAQ
What is the pin configuration for MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP?
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP uses DMP-4 Pinout-A: Terminal 1 = VSS (ground), Terminal 2 = VDD (supply), Terminal 3 = OUT (SENT 3µs push-pull), Terminal 4 = VSS (second ground). This configuration matches legacy Triaxis® devices and integrates decoupling capacitors internally - no external 100 nF capacitor required. Pinout-A is confirmed in datasheet section 3.3 and ordering code ACE-308 maps to STD4 2.54 mm trim.
Does MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP support PWM output?
No, MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP is factory-configured for SENT 3µs output only. While the MLX90372 family supports selectable SENT or PWM modes, the ACE-308 option code specifically enables SENT 3µs mode with standard capacitor configuration in DMP-4 Pinout-A (section 3.3 and Table 2). PWM capability requires ACE-2xx or ACE-1xx variants and Pinout-B configuration.
What is the accuracy specification for MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP in angular position mode?
MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP achieves ±0.3° typical full-scale error in standard/legacy mode (-300 code), as specified in section 9.5 of the datasheet. This accuracy holds across -40°C to +160°C and includes contributions from INL, thermal drift, and magnet misalignment - validated for rotary applications like throttle and pedal sensors where high linearity and temperature stability are mandatory.
Is MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP certified for functional safety applications?
Yes, MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP is qualified as an ISO26262 ASIL-C Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), with documented safety mechanisms including dual watchdogs (IWD/AWD), memory ECC, and diagnostic coverage exceeding 90% for systematic faults. This allows direct integration into ASIL-B or ASIL-C systems without requiring duplicate hardware - confirmed in section 14 and Table 12 of the datasheet.
What package type and dimensions does MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP use?
MLX90372GVS-ACE-308-SP uses the DMP-4 package with STD4 2.54 mm trim (section 18.13), measuring 3.2 mm × 2.5 mm × 0.8 mm. It is a PCB-less dual-mold module with four solderable terminals and integrated decoupling capacitors - eliminating need for external 100 nF ceramic capacitors and reducing footprint by >50% versus SOIC-8 alternatives.
