Product details
Overview
MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position processor IC for non-contacting rotary and linear sensing. It delivers SENT or PWM output, operates from -40°C to +160°C, features ISO26262 ASIL-C safety certification, and uses a PCB-less DMP-4 package with STD3 2.00 mm trim/form for automotive pedal and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional context, DMP-4 Pinout-B terminal mapping, SENT/PWM timing compliance (SAE J2716 APR2016), stray-field immune legacy mode (-300), and AEC-Q100 qualification details critical for automotive sensor design and validation.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP implements a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic components, enabling absolute angle or linear displacement decoding via on-chip DSP and analog signal conditioning. Its DMP-4 package (Pinout-B) integrates an Input terminal for NTC or analog/digital gateway functions, supporting system-level diagnostics and temperature compensation.
It supports continuous asynchronous acquisition (TangleMeas = 528–588 µs) and synchronous SENT modes (3 µs tick, 930–960 µs frame period), with programmable transfer characteristics (up to 32-point PWL), SENT Secure Sensor format error reporting, and dual-die redundancy not applicable-this variant is single-die DMP-4.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90371GVS-ACE-357-SP | Single-output SENT-only (no PWM option); identical DMP-4 Pinout-B, same -300 mode and temperature rating. | Lacks PWM fallback capability; suitable only where SENT is mandatory and no backup analog interface needed. | Select when system architecture mandates SENT-only communication and board space must be minimized beyond MLX90372's dual-mode flexibility. |
| TLV493DW2B6HTSA1 | Triaxis® 3D Hall sensor (Infineon); I²C output, no integrated DSP or SENT/PWM driver; requires external MCU for position calculation. | Not a drop-in replacement - needs firmware development for angle computation and protocol handling. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where MCU resources exist and functional safety certification is not required. |
Compared with MLX90371GVS-ACE-357-SP, the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP adds PWM output flexibility and enhanced diagnostics; versus TLV493DW2B6HTSA1, it delivers fully autonomous position processing and ASIL-C compliance without host MCU dependency.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP support?
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP supports both SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016 compliant) and PWM output protocols, configurable via end-user programming. SENT operates in 3 µs tick mode with Secure Sensor format including CRC and diagnostic fields; PWM offers adjustable duty cycle for analog-like interface. The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP does not support SPI, I²C, or analog voltage outputs.
Is the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified and certified to ISO26262 ASIL-C as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC). It operates across -40°C to +160°C and meets stringent automotive EMC and reliability requirements, making it suitable for engine bay, transmission, and chassis applications. The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP is not intended for consumer or industrial non-automotive use cases.
What is the package type and pin configuration of the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP?
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP uses the DMP-4 (Dual Mould Package) with STD3 2.00 mm trim/form and Pinout-B configuration: Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = VSS, Pin 3 = VDD, Pin 4 = Input (NTC/gateway). This PCB-less package enables direct surface-mounting on flex circuits or metal substrates. The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP is not offered in SOIC-8 or TSSOP-16 variants.
Does the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP require external components for operation?
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP integrates decoupling and regulation circuitry and requires only two external passive components: a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between VDD and VSS, and optionally a pull-up resistor for SENT open-drain mode. No external oscillator, ADC, or signal conditioning ICs are needed. The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP's DMP-4 Pinout-B also eliminates need for discrete NTC interface components via its dedicated Input terminal.
What magnetic configurations does the MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP support?
The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP is configured for Legacy/Angular Rotary & Linear position mode (option code -300), supporting both rotary (0–360°) and linear displacement sensing using appropriate magnet geometries and flux concentrators. It does not support stray-field immune variants (-100/-200/-500) in this specific ACE-357 ordering. The MLX90372GVS-ACE-357-SP leverages Triaxis® Bx/By/Bz detection to resolve absolute position without calibration per unit.
