It delivers dual-output SENT + programmable switch signals, operates from -40°C to +160°C, features ISO 26262 ASIL-C safety compliance, and supports stray-field immune angular/linear configurations in DMP-4 package. It enables non-contacting throttle, pedal, and steering wheel position sensing in automotive powertrain and chassis systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90374GVS-ABB-307-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional context, DMP-4 terminal mapping, SENT/PWM timing constraints, ASIL-C diagnostic coverage details, and validated alternative options for automotive position-sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90374GVS-ABB-307-RX 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 decoding. Its DMP-4 package embeds decoupling capacitors and uses a PCB-less dual-mold construction with straight leads (STD3 2.00).
This variant implements legacy angular/linear mode (-300 option code) with SENT vAPR2016 protocol and programmable switch output. It supports configurable filtering (FIR11/FIR1111), dual diagnostics cycles (DCTANA = 34 ms, DCTDIG = 20 ms), and failsafe state duration of 9.8–34.6 ms depending on revision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments without external thermal derating. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V (regulated) or 6–18 V (battery) - supports dual supply modes via WARM_ACT_HIGH configuration. |
| Output Interface | SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016) + programmable switch - enables high-resolution serial data with CRC and fault reporting plus discrete status signaling. |
| Accuracy Mode | Legacy / Angular Rotary / Linear position (-300 code) - optimized for broad-angle applications without stray-field immunity enhancements. |
| Package | DMP-4 (PCB-less dual mold) with STD3 2.00 trim & form - surface-mountable, no PCB required, integrated 10 nF decoupling caps (C1/C4). |
| Safety Certification | ISO 26262 ASIL-C Safety Element out of Context - provides documented safety mechanisms for integration into ASIL-B/C systems. |
| Startup Time | Tstup = 6.60–6.99 ms (SENT) - time to first valid angle output; safe startup disabled (ABB revision lacks COLD_SAFE_STARTUP_EN). |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 is a PCB-less dual-mold package with 4 terminals, designed for direct soldering onto flex or rigid substrates. It integrates internal 10 nF decoupling capacitors (C1/C4) and uses straight leads with 2.00 mm pitch (STD3).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT1 | Primary SENT output - delivers 12-bit angle data, CRC, diagnostics, and user-defined values per SAE J2716 frame. |
| 2 | VSS | Analog/digital ground reference - must be connected to system ground; shared return path for both outputs and supply. |
| 3 | VDD | Power input - accepts 4.5–18 V; internal regulator generates 3.3 V analog rail (VDEC) and 1.85 V digital rail (VDDD). |
| 4 | OUT2 | Programmable switch output - open-drain or push-pull configurable; used for status flag, error indication, or secondary control signal. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90374GVS-ABC-307-RX | ABC revision adds COLD_SAFE_STARTUP_EN, enhanced diagnostics, and full ASIL-C support documentation; ABB lacks safe startup and has reduced DCTDIG coverage. | Required for new ASIL-C designs needing certified safe startup sequence and updated safety manual; ABC is Melexis' preferred revision. | Select ABC-307-RX for all new designs requiring full ISO 26262 compliance traceability and long-term product support. |
| MLX90363GDC-ABB-000-TU | SOIC-8 package, single PWM output only, no SENT, no programmable switch; lower integration, no ASIL-C claim. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical linear/rotary sensing where serial diagnostics are unnecessary. | Choose only if design mandates SOIC-8 footprint, single-output simplicity, and does not require ASIL-C or SENT protocol. |
Compared with MLX90374GVS-ABB-307-RX, the ABC-307-RX offers verified safe startup and extended diagnostic coverage essential for ASIL-C integration, while the MLX90363GDC-ABB-000-TU trades protocol flexibility and safety certification for lower cost and simpler layout - neither is pin-compatible due to differing package (DMP-4 vs SOIC-8) and terminal count (4 vs 8).
