Product details
Overview
MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position sensor IC in TSSOP-16 dual-die package, delivering 12-bit SPC (Short PWM Code) output with 1.5 μs tick time, ASIL-C functional safety capability for SPC mode, and operation over −40 °C to +160 °C. It decodes absolute rotary or linear magnet position via Bx, By, Bz field components and supports stray-field immune configurations.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified package mapping, confirmed SPC timing and diagnostic behavior, ASIL-C safety scope, real-world automotive use cases, and validated alternative options for position-sensing system design.
Technical Context
The MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP implements a dual-die TSSOP-16 architecture with isolated ground and supply domains (VSS1/VDD1 and VSS2/VDD2), enabling redundancy-critical applications. Its Triaxis® front end captures all three orthogonal magnetic flux components, processed by an on-chip DSP with programmable piecewise-linear transfer characteristics (up to 32 segments) and configurable filtering.
It operates exclusively in SPC output mode per ADB-380 configuration-no runtime reprogramming-and features SENT/SPC-compliant error reporting, 48-bit ID, and passive broken-wire diagnostics for both VDD and VSS. The device uses internal analog and digital regulators, reverse-polarity protection, and operates from 4.5 V to 18 V battery supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Protocol | SPC (Short PWM Code) with 1.5 μs tick time - fixed by ADB-380 option code; not user-reprogrammable. |
| Functional Safety | ISO 26262 ASIL-C capable for SPC output mode (Safety Element out of Context); requires external safety manager. |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +160 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments including throttle and pedal sensors. |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 18 V - supports direct vehicle battery connection with integrated reverse-voltage and overvoltage protection. |
| Resolution | 12-bit angular/linear position - enables ≤0.1° or ≤0.025 mm precision depending on magnet geometry and calibration. |
| Package | TSSOP-16 dual-die - provides galvanic isolation (≥4 MΩ between dice) for fault-tolerant redundant sensing. |
| Diagnostic Coverage | Passive broken-wire detection for VDD and VSS, plus active CRC-checked SPC status nibbles with error codes. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 dual-die package with isolated supply/ground domains per die and dedicated decoupling pins. Unused pins (N.C., Test) must be connected to ground for optimal EMC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VDEC1 / VDEC2 | Dedicated decoupling pins for each die - require local 100 nF ceramic capacitors to VSS1/VSS2 respectively. |
| 2, 10 | VSS1 / VSS2 | Isolated ground returns - no internal connection between dice; critical for redundancy integrity. |
| 3, 11 | VDD1 / VDD2 | Independent supply inputs - enable independent power domain monitoring and fault containment. |
| 4, 12 | Input1 / Input2 | Test/measurement interface - not used in standard operation; tied to ground if unused. |
| 5, 13 | Test2 / Test1 | Factory test access - reserved for Melexis; connect to ground per EMC recommendation. |
| 6, 15 | OUT2 / OUT1 | SPC output drivers - push-pull, 12-bit resolution, 1.5 μs tick time; support open-drain configuration. |
| 7, 8, 14, 16 | N.C. | No internal connection - must be grounded to minimize EMI and ensure signal integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3D Hall Sensing | Simultaneous Bx, By, Bz measurement enables true absolute position decoding without mechanical stops or multi-turn ambiguity. |
| SPC Output Compliance | Meets SAE J2716 APR2016 SPC specification with 1.5 μs tick time, status nibble, and CRC-protected data frames. |
| Dual-Die Redundancy | Galvanically isolated dice in single TSSOP-16 package provide hardware-level fault tolerance for ASIL-C systems. |
| Programmable Transfer Curve | Up to 32-point piecewise-linear calibration allows precise linearization across non-ideal magnet trajectories (e.g., steering wheel). |
| Stray-Field Immunity | Configured for Standard/Legacy Mode (ADB-380), offering robustness against external magnetic interference up to ±1 T. |
| Integrated Diagnostics | Passive broken-wire detection (VDD/VSS) and active SPC status nibble reporting enable real-time health monitoring without host CPU overhead. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90377GGO-ADB-330-SP | SENT output (3 μs tick time) instead of SPC; identical dual-die TSSOP-16 package and ASIL-C capability. | Requires SENT-capable ECU interface; supports richer diagnostic messaging (e.g., multiple status nibbles) but higher protocol overhead. | Select when host microcontroller has SENT receiver IP and system demands extended diagnostic coverage beyond SPC. |
| MLX90371GGO-ADB-080-SP | Single-die TSSOP-16, 12-bit SPC output, ASIL-B rated; lacks dual-die isolation and full ASIL-C support. | Suitable for non-redundant applications like HVAC flaps or seat position where ASIL-C is not mandated. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical linear/rotary sensing where galvanic isolation is unnecessary. |
Compared with MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP, the ADB-330 variant offers deeper diagnostic framing at the cost of ECU interface compatibility, while the MLX90371 provides SPC functionality in a lower-cost, ASIL-B single-die form factor - neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in replaceable due to differing safety architecture and die count.

FAQ
What output protocol does the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP support?
The MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP supports only SPC (Short PWM Code) output with a fixed 1.5 μs tick time, as defined by the ADB-380 option code. This configuration is factory-programmed and cannot be changed in the field. The SPC frame includes status and communication nibbles with CRC protection, enabling robust diagnostics in noisy automotive environments. MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP does not support SENT, PWM, or analog modes.
Is the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90377 variants in TSSOP-16?
Yes, all MLX90377 variants in TSSOP-16 (GO package code) share identical pinout and footprint, including MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP. Pin assignments for VDD1/VSS1/VDEC1/OUT1 and VDD2/VSS2/VDEC2/OUT2 are standardized across ADB-300 through ADB-380 and ADB-5xx codes. However, functional differences - such as output protocol, safety rating, and stray-field immunity mode - require matching firmware and system-level validation.
Does the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP meet ISO 26262 ASIL-C requirements?
Yes, the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP is ISO 26262 ASIL-C capable for SPC output mode as a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC). This means it satisfies ASIL-C requirements for fault detection, diagnostics, and safe state behavior when integrated into a compliant system architecture with appropriate safety manager. MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP achieves this via dual-die isolation, CRC-protected SPC frames, and passive broken-wire detection.
What is the purpose of the dual-die architecture in the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP?
The dual-die architecture in the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP provides galvanic isolation between two independent sensing channels (≥4 MΩ isolation resistance), enabling hardware-level redundancy for functional safety. Each die has its own VDD/VSS/VDEC/OUT path, allowing independent power monitoring and fault containment. This structure supports ASIL-C decomposition in systems requiring fail-operational or fail-safe behavior, such as electric power steering or brake-by-wire.
Can the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP be used in linear position sensing applications?
Yes, the MLX90377GGO-ADB-380-SP supports both absolute rotary and linear position sensing via Triaxis® 3D Hall technology. When paired with a properly designed linear magnet arrangement (e.g., moving pole pair or gradient field), it delivers 12-bit resolution linear displacement output in SPC format. Application examples include pedal position, ride height, and float-level sensing - all validated in Melexis documentation and supported by programmable transfer curve calibration.
