Overview
MLX90376GGO-ABA-630-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-based monolithic magnetic position sensor IC for absolute rotary position sensing up to 360°, featuring SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016) output with 3 μs tick time, AEC-Q100 Grade-0 qualification (-40°C to +160°C), and stray-field immunity up to 5 mT per ISO 11452-8. It implements dual-die redundancy in TSSOP-16_EP package and supports ASIL C functional safety for SENT mode.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90376GGO-ABA-630-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SENT timing compliance, dual-die isolation specs, automotive-grade thermal performance, and real-world use cases in throttle, steering, and ride-height sensing systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90376GGO-ABA-630-SP integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz components, enabling contactless 360° absolute angle measurement without mechanical stops. Its DSP performs on-chip signal conditioning including piecewise-linearization (up to 32 segments) and programmable transfer characteristics.
This variant operates exclusively in Rotary Stray-Field Immune Mode (360°), uses SENT protocol with fixed 3 μs tick time, and resides in TSSOP-16_EP dual-die package with isolated ground/supply domains (Risol ≥ 4 MΩ between dice). It delivers ASIL C compliance via built-in diagnostics including CRC, watchdog timers, and fault-handling time intervals ≤ 10 ms.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90376GGO-ABA-600-RE | Same TSSOP-16_EP package and 360° stray-field immune mode, but uses analog/PWM output instead of SENT; lower current draw (8–11 mA). | Suitable for legacy ECUs lacking SENT receivers; requires external ADC or PWM timer capture; no built-in CRC or status nibbles. | Select when cost-sensitive designs prioritize analog/PWM compatibility over diagnostic richness and ASIL C compliance. |
| MLX90376GVD-ABA-630-RE | Identical SENT functionality and 360° mode, but in SMP-4 PCB-less package (single die, 4-pin); no dual-die isolation or redundancy. | Targeted at space-constrained modules where PCB integration is impractical; lacks die-level fault containment for ASIL C decomposition. | Select for compact, low-cost applications where single-point failure tolerance is acceptable and board area is premium. |
Compared with MLX90376GGO-ABA-630-SP, the -600 variant trades SENT diagnostics for analog/PWM simplicity and lower power, while the SMP-4 -630 offers identical protocol support without redundancy-making the TSSOP-16_EP dual-die version uniquely suited for ASIL C–compliant, safety-redundant automotive systems.
