Product details
Overview
MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based magnetic position processor IC for absolute rotary and linear position 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 STD4 2.54 trim/form for automotive pedal and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional context, validated DMP-4 pinout, confirmed SENT/PWM timing modes, stray-field immune operation in legacy mode (-300), and ADE revision-specific electrical characteristics including 50–215 Ω push-pull Ron.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE implements Triaxis® sensing of Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components to compute absolute angular or linear position without contact. Its on-chip DSP supports programmable piecewise linear (PWL) transfer characteristics with up to 32 points and configurable SENT frame structure per SAE J2716 APR2016.
This variant uses the DMP-4 package with Pinout-B (Input pin enabled for NTC/analog gateway), operates in standard/legacy mode (-300 option code), and supports SENT 3µs timing with built-in decoupling capacitors - eliminating external passive components in compliant applications.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90372GVS-ACE-300-RE | Standard ACE revision; lower push-pull Ron (27–100 Ω); no low-emissions optimization | Same DMP-4 Pinout-B, legacy mode, SENT/PWM support - suitable where EMI is less constrained | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs stringent EMC requirements in chassis modules |
| MLX90371GVS-ADE-318-RE | Single-die predecessor; lacks ASIL-C certification; no SENT fast mode or 32-point PWL | Compatible DMP-4 footprint but limited diagnostic depth and safety coverage | Only for legacy redesigns where functional safety is not required and existing firmware supports older protocol |
Compared with MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE, the ACE-300 variant offers lower conduction loss but reduced EMI immunity, while the MLX90371 alternative omits ASIL-C and advanced SENT features - making the ADE-318 the only choice for new ASIL-C-compliant automotive designs requiring fast SENT and full PWL calibration.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE support?
The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE supports both SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016 compliant) and PWM output modes, configurable via end-user programming. SENT operation includes Normal (3 µs tick) and Fast (1.5 µs tick) modes, while PWM supports duty-cycle modulation with user-defined frequency and resolution. The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE implements secure SENT frames with embedded diagnostics and CRC protection.
Does the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE require external decoupling capacitors?
No - the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE in DMP-4 package (Pinout-B) integrates decoupling capacitance per section 15.3 of the datasheet, eliminating the need for external 100 nF and 10 µF capacitors. This reduces PCB area, improves reliability, and enhances EMC performance in space-constrained automotive modules.
What is the meaning of "ADE-318" in MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE?
"ADE" denotes the low-emissions chip revision; "3" selects legacy/angular-linear application mode; "1" configures SENT 3 µs mode; "8" specifies STD4 2.54 trim-and-form for the DMP-4 package. Together, ADE-318 identifies a fully qualified, production-ready variant optimized for EMI-sensitive automotive deployments requiring ASIL-C compliance.
Is the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE pin-compatible with earlier MLX90372 variants in DMP-4?
Yes - MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE uses DMP-4 Pinout-B, which maintains mechanical and electrical compatibility with other VS-coded MLX90372 variants in the same package. Pin assignments (OUT, VSS, VDD, Input) and footprint dimensions match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement in existing DMP-4 layouts without PCB revision.
What safety documentation is provided for the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE?
The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-RE is certified as an ISO26262 ASIL-C Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), with a dedicated Safety Manual (document ID MLX-SAFETY-MLX90372) covering diagnostic coverage, fault reaction times, and integration guidelines. All safety mechanisms - including watchdog timers, memory ECC, and supply monitoring - are implemented in hardware and validated per Annex D of ISO26262-5.
