Product details
Overview
MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP 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 compliance, and uses a PCB-less DMP-4 package with Pinout-B configuration (VSS/VDD/OUT/Input). It enables non-contacting throttle, pedal, and steering wheel position sensing in automotive powertrain and chassis systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional specifications, DMP-4 Pinout-B terminal mapping, SENT/PWM timing modes, stray-field immune accuracy data, and AEC-Q100-compliant design context for automotive sensor integration.
Technical Context
The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic components, an analog-to-digital signal conditioner, and a DSP for real-time angle computation. Its DMP-4 package (Pinout-B) includes dedicated Input pin for NTC or analog/digital gateway functions, enabling dual-sensor fusion or temperature compensation without external circuitry.
It supports SAE J2716 APR2016 SENT with 3µs tick time and programmable frame structure, plus PWM output with configurable duty cycle. The ADE revision implements low-emission design with higher output stage Ron (50–215 Ω push-pull), optimized for EMC robustness in high-noise engine bay environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90371GVS-ADE-318-SP | Single-die version with identical DMP-4 Pinout-B, same ADE revision, but lacks dual-die redundancy and full ASIL-C SEooC certification. | Targeted at ASIL-B systems or cost-sensitive industrial motion control where full automotive safety case is not required. | Select when functional safety certification overhead is unnecessary and BOM cost reduction is prioritized over ASIL-C traceability. |
| TLV493DW2B6HTSA1 | Infineon 3D Hall sensor with I²C output; no on-chip DSP, no SENT/PWM, no programmable PWL; requires external MCU for angle calculation. | Suitable for embedded systems with available processing resources and no SENT ECU interface requirement. | Choose only if system architecture includes host MCU for sensor fusion and SENT is not mandated by OEM specification. |
Compared with MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP, MLX90371GVS-ADE-318-SP reduces safety certification burden but removes redundancy, while TLV493DW2B6HTSA1 shifts signal processing to host firmware and eliminates native SENT compatibility-making MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP the only drop-in solution for ASIL-C automotive ECU interfaces requiring SENT output and zero-host-processing position decoding.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP support?
The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP supports two configurable output protocols: SENT per SAE J2716 APR2016 (with 3 µs tick time) and PWM with user-defined duty cycle range. Both are selectable via on-chip programming; SENT includes secure sensor format with CRC, diagnostics, and 48-bit ID. The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP does not support SPI, I²C, or analog voltage output natively.
Is the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP pin-compatible with earlier MLX90372 variants in DMP-4 package?
Yes - the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP uses DMP-4 Pinout-B, matching other VS-coded MLX90372 parts with ADE-xxx option codes. Pin 1 = OUT, Pin 2 = VSS, Pin 3 = VDD, Pin 4 = Input. This ensures mechanical and electrical compatibility across ADE-revision DMP-4 variants, though firmware configuration may differ for Input pin functionality.
What is the function of the Input pin on the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP?
The Input pin (Pin 4) on the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP serves as an NTC thermistor interface or analog/digital gateway for external signals. It enables temperature compensation of magnetic measurements or injection of calibration data, diagnostics, or wake-up commands - all without requiring additional external ICs. This capability is exclusive to DMP-4 Pinout-B configurations like the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP.
Does the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP require external decoupling capacitors?
No - the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP in DMP-4 package integrates internal decoupling capacitance optimized for its low-emission ADE revision. Section 15.3 of the datasheet confirms "built-in capacitors" eliminate need for external VDD/VDEC bypass components, simplifying layout and improving EMC performance in constrained spaces.
What safety documentation is provided for the MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP?
The MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP is certified as an ISO26262 ASIL-C Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), with full safety manual (document MLX-AN-001), FMEDA report, and safety mechanisms documented in Chapter 14 of its datasheet. These materials support integration into ASIL-B or ASIL-C systems without requiring additional hardware redundancy - a key qualification for MLX90372GVS-ADE-318-SP in automotive safety-critical designs.
