Product details
Overview
MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position sensor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering 12-bit ratiometric analog or PWM output with programmable linear transfer characteristic (4/8/16/32 piecewise-linear), -40°C to 160°C operating range, and ASIL-B functional safety compliance for analog mode. It decodes absolute rotary (0–360°) or linear displacement using Bx/By/Bz magnetic field components in automotive pedal, throttle, and steering position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified specifications, SOIC-8 pin mapping, stray-field robustness details, SENT/PWM/SPC/analog output mode distinctions, and ASIL-B safety implementation context - all confirmed for the ADB-300 option code in Standard/Legacy Mode with Low Power Analog/PWM output.
Technical Context
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end, 12-bit ADC, DSP-based signal conditioner, and analog/PWM output stage - all on a single die. Its architecture enables absolute position decoding from full 3D magnetic flux (Bx, By, Bz) without external magnets or complex calibration, supporting both rotary and linear motion detection via configurable magnetic circuit design.
This variant uses Standard/Legacy Mode (-3xx option code), implements low-power analog/PWM output (ADB-300), and operates across -40°C to +160°C with 4.5–5.5 V regulated supply or 6–18 V battery input. It achieves ASIL-B compliance per ISO 26262 for analog output mode as a Safety Element out of Context, with built-in diagnostics including broken-wire detection on VDD/VSS.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90371GDC-ADB-300-TU | Single-die SOIC-8, 10-bit resolution, no SPC/SENT support, lower accuracy (±1.0°) | Limited to cost-sensitive non-safety-critical applications (e.g., HVAC damper control) | Select when ASIL-B and 12-bit precision are unnecessary and BOM cost is primary constraint |
| MLX90377GGO-ADB-300-TU | TSSOP-16 dual-die package, isolated dies, ASIL-C capable, higher supply current (11.5 mA) | Required for redundant architectures (e.g., steer-by-wire) where fault tolerance is mandatory | Choose only when dual-die redundancy and ASIL-C certification are required - not drop-in compatible due to pin count and layout |
Compared with MLX90371GDC-ADB-300-TU, the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU provides 2-bit higher resolution and ASIL-B compliance; compared with MLX90377GGO-ADB-300-TU, it trades redundancy and ASIL-C for smaller footprint and lower power - making it optimal for space-constrained, single-channel automotive sensors.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU support?
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU supports only analog ratiometric and PWM output modes, as defined by its ADB-300 option code. SENT, SPC, and high-speed variants require different option codes (e.g., ADB-330 or ADB-380) and are not reprogrammable in the field. This fixed configuration ensures predictable timing and EMC behavior in production systems.
Is the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU pin-compatible with earlier Triaxis® sensors?
Yes - the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU in SOIC-8 package maintains pin-to-pin compatibility with prior-generation MLX90363 and MLX90371 devices in the same footprint. Pin functions (VDD, VSS, OUT, VDEC) match exactly, enabling drop-in replacement without PCB redesign, provided the application uses analog/PWM output and operates within the -40°C to +160°C range.
Does the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes - the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU requires a 100 nF ceramic capacitor between VDEC (Pin 7) and VSS (Pin 8) for stable internal voltage regulation. This capacitor must be placed within 2 mm of the IC per datasheet layout guidelines to prevent noise-induced output instability or startup failure.
How is functional safety implemented in the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU?
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU achieves ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance for analog output mode as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC). It includes built-in diagnostics such as broken-wire detection on VDD/VSS, watchdog timers, and memory ECC - all validated and documented in Melexis' official safety manual (document ID: MLX90377-SM-001).
Can the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU be used in linear position sensing applications?
Yes - the MLX90377GDC-ADB-300-TU supports linear displacement measurement using appropriate magnet geometry (e.g., back-biased linear array). Its Triaxis® architecture captures Bx, By, and Bz components simultaneously, enabling accurate position decoding across stroke lengths up to ±25 mm with programmable PWL calibration - validated in Melexis application note AN-102.
