Product details
Overview
MLX90377GDC-ADB-380-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic magnetic position sensor IC in SOIC-8 package, delivering 12-bit SPC (Short PWM Code) output with 1.5 μs tick time, operating from −40 °C to +160 °C, and certified ASIL-B for analog mode and ASIL-C for SENT/PWM/SPC modes under ISO 26262. It decodes absolute rotary or linear position via Bx, By, Bz field components using integrated IMC and DSP.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90377GDC-ADB-380-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SOIC-8 pin mapping, SPC protocol timing, stray-field robustness, and automotive-grade functional safety implementation details critical for throttle, pedal, and ride-height sensor design.
Technical Context
The MLX90377GDC-ADB-380-RE implements Triaxis® Hall sensing with on-chip analog-to-digital conversion, 12-bit DSP-based signal processing, and programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (up to 32 segments). Its front-end captures all three orthogonal magnetic flux components (Bx, By, Bz) to resolve absolute angular position (0–360°) or linear displacement without mechanical contact.
This variant is configured exclusively for SPC output mode per ADB-380 option code - non-reprogrammable in end-use - with 1.5 μs tick time, 12-bit resolution, and built-in diagnostics including broken-wire detection on VDD/VSS. It operates in Standard/Legacy magnetic configuration (−3xx code), supporting ratiometric supply (4.5–5.5 V regulated or 6–18 V battery) and features reverse polarity protection up to −18 V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
MLX90377GDC-ADB-380-RE uses the SOIC-8 package (Package Code DC), with pins arranged for compact PCB layout and EMC-optimized grounding. Unused pins (N.C., Test) must be tied to ground per datasheet recommendation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VDD | Power supply input | Accepts 4.5–18 V; reverse-polarity protected; powers analog/digital regulators |
| 2 - Input | Test/external measurement interface | Used internally for factory calibration; not intended for end-user signal routing |
| 3 - Test | Factory test access | No functional role in operation; recommended to connect to VSS for EMC |
| 4 - N.C. | Not connected | Internally unconnected; must be grounded per datasheet for optimal EMC |
| 5 - OUT | SPC output driver | Push-pull output delivering 12-bit SPC frames; supports 10–55 kΩ load range |
| 6 - N.C. | Not connected | Internally unconnected; must be grounded per datasheet for optimal EMC |
| 7 - VDEC | Decoupling capacitor connection | Requires external 100 nF ceramic cap to VSS; critical for noise immunity and regulator stability |
| 8 - VSS | Ground reference | Main power return; also used for broken-wire diagnostic detection (BVSSPD/BVSSPU) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90377GDC-ADB-330-RE | SENT output instead of SPC; 3 μs tick time; identical SOIC-8 package and temperature rating | Requires SENT-capable ECU; supports longer diagnostic payload and multi-nibble status reporting | Select when ECU interface mandates SENT over SPC, or when extended diagnostic data bandwidth is required |
| MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die package; provides internal isolation (≥4 MΩ between dies); same SPC output and ADB-380 configuration | Enables redundant architecture for ASIL-D systems; requires larger PCB footprint and dual decoupling | Select when functional safety architecture requires hardware redundancy or die-level isolation per ISO 26262 Part 9 |
Compared with MLX90377GDC-ADB-380-RE, the SENT variant offers richer diagnostics but slower timing, while the TSSOP-16 dual-die version adds physical redundancy at the cost of board space and complexity - both retain identical magnetic performance and calibration flexibility.
