Product details
Overview
MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based absolute position sensor IC for rotary or linear motion sensing. It delivers 12-bit resolution analog and PWM outputs in High Speed Mode, operates from -40°C to 160°C, supports stray-field immune operation in Standard/Legacy configuration, and is packaged in DMP-4 for compact PCB-less integration in automotive pedal and throttle position systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its DMP-4 package footprint, dual analog/PWM output capability in High Speed Mode, ASIL-B functional safety compliance for analog mode, and programmable transfer characteristic with up to 32-piecewise-linear points.
Technical Context
The MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic field components, enabling absolute angular (0–360°) or linear position decoding without mechanical contact. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time signal conditioning, including temperature compensation and programmable linearization.
This variant uses Standard/Legacy Mode (-3xx option code), supports analog ratiometric and PWM outputs simultaneously, and is configured for High Speed Mode (option digit '1'), delivering faster response than Low Power Mode variants. It does not support SENT or SPC protocols - those require -33x or -38x option codes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Modes | Analog ratiometric + PWM only; no SENT/SPC - fixed at factory per ADB-318 code |
| Resolution | 12-bit effective resolution for both analog and PWM outputs |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V (regulated) or 6 V to 18 V (battery); reverse voltage protected to -18 V |
| Supply Current | 9–11.5 mA typical in High Speed Mode (-31x), enabling low-power system design |
| Accuracy | ±1.0° typical angular error in Standard/Legacy Mode, verified across full temperature range |
| Functional Safety | ISO 26262 ASIL-B capable for analog output mode (Safety Element out of Context) |
Pinout & Package
DMP-4 package: PCB-less dual-mold construction with 4 leads, optimized for space-constrained automotive modules. Pin-to-pin compatible with prior Triaxis® generations.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Ground reference for analog and digital sections; dual ground pins improve noise immunity |
| 2 | VDD | Main supply input (4.5–18 V); includes reverse polarity and overvoltage protection |
| 3 | OUT | Push-pull output supporting simultaneous analog ratiometric (0.5–4.5 V) and PWM (10–90% duty cycle) signals |
| 4 | VSS | Second ground terminal; required for EMC compliance and thermal dissipation in DMP-4 form factor |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Measures all three magnetic vector components (Bx, By, Bz) to enable true 3D position decoding without external concentrators |
| Programmable Transfer Curve | Configurable via NVRAM to 4-, 8-, 16-, or 32-point piecewise-linear mapping for custom mechanical linkage compensation |
| Stray-Field Immunity | Robust operation in magnetically noisy environments (e.g., near motors or solenoids) without shielding - inherent to Standard/Legacy Mode |
| On-Chip Signal Processing | DSP-based real-time temperature compensation, filtering, and diagnostics eliminate need for external MCU intervention |
| High-Speed Analog+PWM | Simultaneous dual-output delivery enables redundant signal paths or hybrid control architectures (e.g., fast PWM for actuator feedback + analog for ECU monitoring) |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90377GVS-ADB-310-SP | Identical DMP-4 package and High Speed Mode, but shipped in standard RE tape-and-reel (2500 pcs) vs. RX face-down orientation | No functional difference; RX variant optimized for automated pick-and-place with consistent die orientation | Select MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP when face-down placement is required for optical recognition or coplanarity-sensitive assembly. |
| MLX90377GDC-ADB-310-RE | SOIC-8 package instead of DMP-4; same -31x High Speed Mode analog/PWM functionality and ASIL-B rating | Requires PCB footprint change and lacks DMP-4's integrated decoupling; suited for prototyping or non-space-constrained modules | Choose MLX90377GDC-ADB-310-RE for evaluation or legacy board reuse where SOIC-8 layout exists and thermal mass is acceptable. |
Compared with MLX90377GVS-ADB-310-SP, the -318 variant adds face-down tape orientation for improved machine vision alignment; versus MLX90377GDC-ADB-310-RE, it trades SOIC-8 ease-of-handling for DMP-4 miniaturization and built-in capacitors - critical for high-vibration automotive actuators.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP support?
The MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP supports analog ratiometric and PWM outputs only, as defined by its ADB-318 option code. It does not support SENT or SPC protocols - those require ADB-33x or ADB-38x variants. The analog output ranges from 0.5 V to 4.5 V (ratiometric to VDD), and PWM delivers 12-bit resolution with 10–90% duty cycle. Both outputs operate simultaneously in High Speed Mode.
Is the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP pin-compatible with earlier Triaxis® sensors?
Yes, the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP uses the DMP-4 package with pin-to-pin compatibility to prior-generation Melexis Triaxis® position sensors. Its four-terminal layout (VSS-VDD-OUT-VSS) matches legacy footprints, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs without PCB revision - provided the application uses analog+PWM outputs and operates within the -40°C to +160°C range.
Does the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP require external programming for basic operation?
No, the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP ships pre-programmed with Standard/Legacy Mode, High Speed analog+PWM output, and default linear transfer characteristics. No end-user programming is needed for immediate deployment. Optional NVRAM configuration (e.g., custom PWL tables or diagnostics) can be performed via Programming through Connector (PTC) using Melexis' official tools, but is not required for functional operation.
What is the functional safety qualification status of the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP?
The MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP is ISO 26262 ASIL-B capable for analog output mode and ASIL-C capable for SENT/PWM/SPC modes - though only analog and PWM are active in this variant. As a Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), it provides documented fault handling time intervals, diagnostic coverage metrics, and safety manuals compliant with ASIL-B requirements for automotive safety mechanisms.
Can the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP be used in linear position sensing applications?
Yes, the MLX90377GVS-ADB-318-SP supports both rotary and linear position configurations. When paired with a linear magnetic circuit (e.g., moving magnet along a track), it delivers absolute linear displacement output with ±1.0° equivalent angular error translated to position accuracy. Its stray-field immunity and DMP-4 thermal performance make it suitable for applications like suspension travel or float-level sensing where mechanical robustness is essential.
