Product details
Overview
MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position sensor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering ratiometric analog and PWM outputs with 12-bit resolution, -40°C to +160°C operation, and ASIL-B functional safety compliance for automotive pedal and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified pin definitions, output timing constraints, stray-field immunity mode mapping, ISO26262 diagnostic coverage details, and validated alternatives for legacy analog/PWM position sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE implements Triaxis® sensing of Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components to compute absolute angular or linear position without mechanical contact. Its on-chip DSP supports programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (4/8/16/32 points) and configurable filtering for robustness against mechanical vibration and thermal drift.
This variant operates in Standard/Legacy Mode (-3xx option code), enabling low-power analog ratiometric and PWM outputs with 12-bit resolution, 3.95–4.25 V startup threshold, and 8–11.5 mA supply current across temperature. It excludes SENT/SPC protocols and dual-die redundancy, confirming SOIC-8 single-die packaging per ordering code DC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Modes | Analog ratiometric and PWM only - no SENT/SPC; requires fixed protocol selection at order time |
| Resolution | 12-bit effective - enables ±0.1° angular accuracy in optimized rotary configurations |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C - qualified for under-hood automotive locations including throttle bodies and brake pedals |
| Supply Current | 8–11.5 mA - low-power mode reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures |
| Startup Voltage | 3.95–4.25 V - ensures reliable wake-up after battery brownouts common in 12 V vehicle systems |
| Safety Rating | ISO26262 ASIL-B for analog output - supports safety-critical pedal position monitoring with diagnostic coverage |
| Magnetic Input | Triaxis® Bx/By/Bz sensing - enables absolute position decoding from a single moving magnet in rotary or linear motion |
Pinout & Package
SOIC-8 package (Ordering Code DC), 150 mil width, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant, rated for 175°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Supply input | 4.5–5.5 V regulated or 6–18 V battery-supplied; reverse polarity protected to -14 V |
| 2 - Input | Test/external measurement | Factory test access; not used in end application; recommended tied to GND for EMC |
| 3 - Test | Factory test | Internal diagnostics interface; must be connected to GND in production layout |
| 4 - N.C. | No connection | Unbonded die pad; electrically isolated; tie to GND for shielding |
| 5 - OUT | Signal output | Push-pull analog/PWM output; drives 5–10 kΩ loads; 0.2–0.5 V low-level saturation |
| 6 - N.C. | No connection | Unbonded die pad; electrically isolated; tie to GND for shielding |
| 7 - VDEC | Decoupling | Requires 100 nF ceramic capacitor to VSS close to pin for stable internal regulator operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90371GDC-ABD-300-RE | Legacy Triaxis® sensor with identical SOIC-8 pinout, 10-bit resolution, and analog/PWM output - lacks ASIL-B certification and programmable PWL calibration | Lower-cost replacement where functional safety and high-resolution linearity are not required | Select when BOM cost reduction is prioritized over ISO26262 compliance and fine-grained transfer curve tuning |
| TLV493DW2B6HXTSA1 | Infineon 3D Hall sensor in TSSOP-16; 12-bit I²C output only; no analog/PWM; -40°C to +125°C rating | Requires microcontroller with I²C interface and firmware to process position data; unsuitable for direct ECU analog input | Choose only if system architecture includes dedicated sensor hub MCU and thermal environment stays below 125°C |
Compared with MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE, the MLX90371 offers lower resolution and no safety certification but matches pinout and analog interface, while the TLV493D requires full redesign for digital communication and has reduced temperature capability - making MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE the only drop-in ASIL-B-compliant analog/PWM solution in SOIC-8 for high-temp automotive position sensing.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE support?
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE supports only analog ratiometric and PWM output modes, as defined by its ADB-300 option code. SENT and SPC protocols are disabled in this variant. Output mode is factory-programmed and cannot be changed in the field. The analog output scales ratiometrically with VDD (0–100% VDD), while PWM duty cycle represents position linearly (0–100% duty over 0–360°). Both outputs deliver 12-bit effective resolution.
Is the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE pin-compatible with earlier Melexis Triaxis® sensors?
Yes, the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE in SOIC-8 package maintains pin compatibility with MLX90371 and MLX90363 in the same footprint. Pin 1 (VDD), Pin 5 (OUT), Pin 7 (VDEC), and Pin 8 (VSS) retain identical functions and electrical behavior. However, unused pins (2, 3, 4, 6) must be grounded per Melexis EMC recommendations - a requirement consistent across these generations.
Does the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE require external programming hardware for calibration?
No, the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE ships pre-programmed with Standard/Legacy Mode, analog/PWM output, and low-power configuration. End-user programming (e.g., transfer curve tuning or diagnostics setup) requires Melexis' PTC interface and EVK90377 evaluation kit - not needed for basic operation. Factory-trimmed parameters ensure immediate use in production without host MCU intervention.
What is the maximum magnetic field range supported by the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE?
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE operates within ±1 T (±10,000 Gauss) magnetic flux density, per its absolute maximum rating. In Standard/Legacy Mode, it achieves optimal accuracy with magnet strengths between 10–150 mT at the sensor surface. Performance degrades outside this range due to saturation or insufficient signal-to-noise ratio - magnet placement and concentrator design must be validated per application-specific FEA modeling.
How does the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE implement functional safety for ASIL-B compliance?
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-RE achieves ASIL-B compliance for analog output through on-chip diagnostics including continuous VDD/VSS monitoring, internal clock watchdog, memory ECC, and temperature supervision. Faults trigger defined output states (e.g., fixed voltage or PWM freeze) and are documented in Melexis' ISO26262 Safety Manual (document ID: SAFETY-MLX90377). No external safety monitor is required for ASIL-B decomposition when used per safety concept.
