Product details
Overview
MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-based monolithic magnetic position sensor IC for absolute rotary position sensing up to 360° in stray-field immune mode. It delivers SPC (Short PWM Code) output with 1.5 μs tick time, operates from −40 °C to +160 °C, and supports ASIL C functional safety compliance for automotive applications such as steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (TSSOP-16_EP dual-die), confirmed SPC timing behavior, validated 360° stray-field immune operation, and real-world automotive use context including diagnostic cycle times and supply current under high-speed SPC mode.
Technical Context
The MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP implements Triaxis® Hall sensing of Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components to compute absolute angular position without mechanical contact. Its dual-die TSSOP-16_EP package enables redundancy-critical ASIL C applications, with isolated ground paths (VSS1/VSS2) and independent decoupling (VDEC1/VDEC2).
It executes on-chip DSP-based signal processing-including programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (up to 32 segments)-and supports only SPC output per its ABA-680 option code, with fixed 1.5 μs tick time and no runtime reconfiguration capability between protocols.

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-630-RE | Same TSSOP-16_EP package and 360° stray-field immune mode, but SENT output (3 μs tick) instead of SPC | Requires SENT-capable receiver; lacks SPC-specific diagnostics and SCN encoding structure | Select when system uses SENT protocol stack and requires compatibility with existing SENT infrastructure |
| MLX90376GDC-ADA-680-RE | SOIC-8 single-die package; same SPC output and 360° mode; no inter-die isolation or redundancy | Not suitable for ASIL C applications; lower cost for non-safety-critical throttle or HVAC damper sensing | Select when SPC interface is required but dual-die redundancy and isolation are unnecessary |
Compared with MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP, the ABA-630 variant trades SPC's compact frame and integrated diagnostics for broader SENT ecosystem compatibility, while the ADA-680 in SOIC-8 reduces cost and footprint at the expense of ASIL C certification and hardware redundancy-making each alternative appropriate only for specific safety and protocol constraints.

FAQ
What output protocol does the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP support?
The MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP supports only SPC (Short PWM Code) output with a fixed 1.5 μs tick time, as defined by its ABA-680 option code. It cannot be reconfigured to SENT, PWM, or analog modes in end-use-output protocol is factory-programmed and immutable. This ensures deterministic timing and diagnostic behavior required for ASIL C compliance in the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP.
Is the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90376 variants in TSSOP-16_EP?
Yes, the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP shares identical pinout and footprint with all GO-package MLX90376 variants (e.g., ABA-600, ABA-630), including VSS1/VSS2 isolation and dual VDEC pins. However, output behavior differs: only ABA-680 delivers SPC, while ABA-630 outputs SENT and ABA-600 outputs analog/PWM-so PCB layout is reusable, but firmware and receiver circuitry must match the selected protocol.
Does the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP meet ASIL C requirements for functional safety?
Yes, the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP is certified ASIL C for SPC output per ISO 26262 SEooC, with documented diagnostic coverage (DTIDIG = 6.1 ms), fault handling time interval ≤ 100 ms, and dual-die isolation >4 MΩ. Its safety manual and FMEDA report confirm compliance for steering angle and throttle position applications-making the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP suitable for integration into ASIL C safety channels.
What is the supply current consumption of the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP?
The MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP draws 9 mA typical per die at 5 V supply, resulting in ~18 mA total for the dual-die TSSOP-16_EP package. This value is specified for SPC output in High Speed Mode and includes both signal conditioning and SPC encoder overhead. The MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP maintains this current profile across −40 °C to +160 °C, with derating only under absolute maximum voltage conditions.
Can the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP be used in 360° rotary applications with stray magnetic fields?
Yes, the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP is explicitly configured for 360° rotary stray-field immune operation (ABA-6xx code) and validated to maintain accuracy under 5 mT external fields per ISO 11452-8. Its Triaxis® architecture rejects common-mode interference from nearby motors or solenoids-enabling direct mounting in ECU housings without shielding. This capability is intrinsic to the MLX90376GGO-ABA-680-SP's magnetic front-end and signal processing chain.
