Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs with 4 µs output refresh rate, ±40%VDD swing, and programmable X/Z magnetic axis for end-of-shaft or through-shaft operation using NdFeB magnets. It operates from -40°C to 150°C at 3.3 V or 5 V supply and supports high-bandwidth motor control feedback.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, magnetic axis configuration (X/Z), 60 mT full-scale range, and real-world motor control integration guidance.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology with orthogonal and in-plane magnetic field sensing, enabling precise angular position resolution via dual analog outputs (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN). Its internal architecture supports factory-programmed X/Z magnetic axis alignment and ratiometric output scaling relative to VDD.
This variant uses NdFeB magnet compatibility (BAB prefix), 60 mT full-scale magnetic range (suffix -005), and high-bandwidth mode (first digit '0' in -005 indicates 3.3 V / high BW per Table 2). Output update timing includes 2 µs per field component, yielding 4 µs total cycle time with tracking delay of 12 µs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time rotor angle capture at up to 25,000 RPM with ≤1.8° phase shift. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 60 mT - Optimized for NdFeB magnets in compact end-of-shaft configurations with ±40%VDD output swing. |
| Magnetic Axis Configuration | X/Z - OUT1 responds to BX, OUT2 to BZ; supports off-axis through-shaft mounting with 50% BZ/BXY sensitivity mismatch. |
| Supply Voltage Options | 3.3 V or 5 V - Dual VDD pins (VDD3V3/VDD5V); only one active at a time; floating unused rail required. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for automotive powertrain and industrial motor drive environments. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5% - Measured over 0.5–4.5 V (5 V) or 0.33–2.97 V (3.3 V) output range; enables <1° uncorrected angular error. |
| Total Angular Error (w/ compensation) | ±1° - Achievable using external ECU offset/gain correction on raw sine/cosine outputs prior to arctan computation. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE is housed in an 8-pin SOIC-8 package (3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal dissipation. Unused pins (NC) and TEST must be tied to ground for optimal EMC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Supply ground reference for analog and digital blocks; mandatory low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 2, 4 | NC | No internal connection; must be connected to GND per EMC guidelines to suppress radiated emissions. |
| 3 | TEST | Factory test access; tied to GND in application to prevent noise coupling and ensure stable operation. |
| 5 | OUT2 | Sine analog output (SIN); ratiometric to VDD; used with OUT1 for arctan-based angle calculation. |
| 6 | VDD5V | 5 V supply input; active only when operating in 5 V mode; VDD3V3 must remain floating. |
| 7 | VDD3V3 | 3.3 V supply input; active only when operating in 3.3 V mode; VDD5V must remain floating. |
| 8 | OUT1 | Cosine analog output (COS); ratiometric to VDD; paired with OUT2 for absolute angular position decoding. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

FAQ
What magnetic axis configuration does MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE implement?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE implements the X/Z magnetic axis configuration, where OUT1 responds to the X-axis magnetic field component and OUT2 to the Z-axis component. This configuration is optimized for off-axis through-shaft applications using NdFeB magnets and includes built-in 50% sensitivity mismatch between axes to accommodate typical magnet geometries.
How is the 60 mT full-scale range of MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE achieved?
The 60 mT full-scale range of MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE is factory-programmed during final test and corresponds to the BAB-005 option code. It defines the in-plane (X) or orthogonal (Z) flux density that produces a ±40%VDD output swing at 25°C, enabling optimal ADC utilization with NdFeB magnets in compact motor assemblies.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE operate from both 3.3 V and 5 V supplies simultaneously?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE cannot operate from both supplies simultaneously. It features separate VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins; only one supply rail may be active at a time. When using 3.3 V, VDD5V must be left floating; when using 5 V, VDD3V3 must be left floating to prevent damage or undefined behavior.
What is the significance of the 4 µs output refresh rate in MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE?
The 4 µs output refresh rate in MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE means both OUT1 (COS) and OUT2 (SIN) are updated every 4 µs, with each field component sampled sequentially in 2 µs. This enables accurate rotor position capture at up to 25,000 RPM with minimal phase lag, supporting high-bandwidth field-oriented control loops in demanding motor applications.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE require external calibration for angular accuracy?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-005-RE delivers ±10° total angular error without correction but achieves ±1° accuracy with dynamic compensation applied externally by the host MCU-such as offset, gain, and phase correction on raw sine/cosine outputs prior to arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation. No factory calibration is required for basic operation.
