Product details
Overview
MLX90377GVE-ADB-300-RX from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position sensor IC for non-contact rotary or linear sensing. It delivers 12-bit ratiometric analog and PWM outputs, operates from -40°C to 160°C, supports low-power mode, and is housed in the SMP-3 PCB-less single-mold package. It serves as the primary magnetic position transducer in automotive throttle and pedal systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90377GVE-ADB-300-RX datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its SMP-3 footprint, -40°C to 160°C operation, analog/PWM dual-output capability in low-power mode, stray-field immunity configuration, and ASIL-B functional safety compliance for analog output.
Technical Context
The MLX90377GVE-ADB-300-RX integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components, enabling absolute angular (0–360°) or linear position decoding with appropriate magnet geometry. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time signal conditioning, including programmable piecewise-linearization (4/8/16/32 points) and configurable filtering.
This variant uses the SMP-3 package (3-pin, VDD/OUT/VSS), operates in Standard/Legacy Mode with Analog/PWM output and Low Power Mode enabled, and is specified for the VE temperature grade (-40°C to 160°C). It does not support SENT or SPC protocols - those require ADB-330 or ADB-380 option codes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Modes | Analog ratiometric (0.5–4.5 V) and PWM (10–90% duty cycle); no SENT/SPC - fixed by ADB-300 option code. |
| Resolution | 12-bit effective resolution for both analog and PWM outputs, enabling ≤0.1° angular or ≤0.025% full-scale linear accuracy. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C junction temperature - qualified for under-hood automotive environments without external cooling. |
| Supply Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (regulated) or 6 V to 18 V (battery); startup threshold at 3.95–4.25 V ensures reliable cold-cranking operation. |
| Supply Current | 8–11.5 mA in Legacy Mode (ADB-300), optimized for continuous low-power operation in always-on vehicle subsystems. |
| Magnetic Sensing | Triaxis® 3D Hall architecture detects Bx, By, Bz simultaneously - enables robust position measurement despite mechanical misalignment or stray fields. |
| Safety Rating | ISO 26262 ASIL-B capable for analog output mode; Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) certified per functional safety manual. |
Pinout & Package
SMP-3 is a PCB-less single-mold package with three solderable terminals: VDD (supply), OUT (dual-mode analog/PWM output), and VSS (ground). No external decoupling capacitors required - internal regulators and filtering are integrated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VDD) | Supply input | Accepts 4.5–18 V; includes reverse-polarity and overvoltage protection up to -14 V / +28 V for automotive battery transients. |
| 2 (OUT) | Programmable output | Configured at factory for simultaneous ratiometric analog (0.5–4.5 V) and PWM (10–90%) signals; open-drain or push-pull selectable via NVRAM. |
| 3 (VSS) | Ground reference | Common return for supply and output; supports broken-wire detection (BWD) diagnostics when pulled down or up externally. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® 3D Hall Sensing | Measures all three orthogonal magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) on a single die - eliminates need for multi-sensor assemblies or complex magnet orientations. |
| Programmable Transfer Curve | Supports 4-, 8-, 16-, or 32-point piecewise-linear (PWL) calibration - enables precise compensation for magnet nonlinearity and mechanical hysteresis in final assembly. |
| Stray-Field Immunity | Configured in Standard/Legacy Mode (ADB-300), offering baseline robustness against external magnetic interference without requiring high-field magnets or shielding. |
| Integrated Diagnostics | Includes passive broken-wire detection (BWD) on VDD/VSS and active diagnostic signaling - reduces need for external monitoring circuitry in ASIL-B systems. |
| Low-Power Operation | 8–11.5 mA typical supply current in ADB-300 configuration - extends battery life in always-on applications like electronic parking brakes or seat position memory. |

Use Value: Triaxis® architecture tolerates lateral magnet shift up to ±1 mm - eliminates precision mounting fixtures and reduces assembly cost. |
Use Scenario: Absolute angular measurement of steering wheel rotation for electronic stability control (ESC), lane-keeping assist (LKA), and automated parking functions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Rotary position encoder delivering 0–360° absolute angle with <±0.5° total error over lifetime - used as primary sensor in dual-redundant architectures. Use Value: Factory-programmed 16-point PWL correction compensates for magnet eccentricity and housing warpage - achieves required accuracy without post-assembly calibration. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90377GVE-ADB-310-RX | Same SMP-3 package and temperature grade, but configured for High Speed Mode (12–15 mA supply current, faster update rate). | Required where system latency must be <5 ms (e.g., high-bandwidth ESC feedback), not suitable for ultra-low-power always-on nodes. | Select ADB-310 only if timing budget demands sub-5 ms response; ADB-300 remains optimal for power-constrained modules. |
| MLX90371GVE-ADB-000-RX | Legacy Triaxis® device in SMP-3; 10-bit resolution, no programmable PWL, analog-only output, no ASIL-B certification. | Limited to non-safety-critical applications (e.g., HVAC flap control); lacks diagnostic features and field immunity tuning of MLX90377. | Use MLX90371 only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive industrial position sensing where ASIL compliance and 12-bit linearity are unnecessary. |
Compared with MLX90377GVE-ADB-310-RX and MLX90371GVE-ADB-000-RX, the MLX90377GVE-ADB-300-RX uniquely balances ASIL-B compliance, dual analog/PWM output, low-power operation, and SMP-3 integration - making it the preferred choice for production automotive pedal and throttle modules requiring functional safety and space efficiency.
