Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based resolver IC delivering true 360° absolute rotary position sensing via ratiometric sine/cosine analog outputs, with 4 µs output refresh rate, -40°C to 150°C operating range, and factory-programmed NdFeB magnet sensitivity for 60 mT full-scale magnetic range in SOIC-8 package. It serves as the primary angular position transducer in high-reliability motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 pin mapping, magnetic axis configuration (X/Z), bandwidth setting (high BW), and validated alternative options for automotive-grade BLDC and PMSM rotor position feedback.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Z) magnetic field components using integrated vertical and planar Hall elements. Its dual analog outputs deliver synchronized, ratiometric sine and cosine signals referenced to VDD, enabling high-fidelity angle computation via arctangent in companion MCUs.
This variant is preprogrammed for NdFeB magnets, X/Z magnetic axis orientation, 60 mT full-scale range, and high-bandwidth operation (5V supply, 125 kHz Nyquist frequency). Output tracking delay is 12 µs, and internal chopping at 1 MHz suppresses low-frequency noise without external filtering.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Ratiometric analog sine (OUT1) and cosine (OUT2); enables direct ADC interfacing without external reference voltage. |
| Refresh Rate | 4 µs per field component (8 µs total for both outputs); supports real-time position tracking up to 25,000 rpm. |
| Magnetic Range | 60 mT full-scale (BAB-025); optimized for NdFeB magnets in end-of-shaft or through-shaft configurations. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V only (BAB-025 suffix); VDD3V3 pin must be left floating; ensures stable operation under automotive load dump conditions. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to 150°C; qualified for under-hood and traction motor applications without derating. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z configuration (BAB-025); OUT1 = COS(X), OUT2 = SIN(Z); supports off-axis two-pole magnet mounting. |
| Bandwidth Mode | High bandwidth (BAB-025); 125 kHz Nyquist frequency and 12 µs tracking delay for dynamic motor control loops. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE uses the SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 4.4 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Pin 2 and Pin 4 are NC; Pin 3 (TEST) and unused pins must be connected to GND for optimal EMC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VSS) | Supply Ground | Primary ground reference for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system GND plane. |
| 2 (NC) | Not Connected | No internal connection; tie to GND per EMC recommendation. |
| 3 (TEST) | Test Pin | Factory test access; connect to GND in final design to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 (NC) | Not Connected | No internal connection; tie to GND per EMC recommendation. |
| 5 (OUT2) | Analog Output SIN | Sine output for Z-axis field component; ratiometric to VDD5V; drives MCU ADC directly. |
| 6 (VDD5V) | 5V Supply Input | Main power rail; requires local 100 nF decoupling; VDD3V3 must remain unconnected. |
| 7 (VDD3V3) | 3.3V Supply Input | Not used in BAB-025; must be left floating-connecting it may cause malfunction. |
| 8 (OUT1) | Analog Output COS | Cosine output for X-axis field component; ratiometric to VDD5V; paired with OUT2 for angle reconstruction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field measurement eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-die assemblies. |
| Programmable Magnetic Axis | X/Z orientation enables compatibility with off-axis two-pole magnets in through-shaft motor designs. |
| Ratiometric Outputs | OUT1/OUT2 scale linearly with VDD5V, removing dependency on stable reference voltage and simplifying ADC interface. |
| High-Speed Update | 4 µs per output channel enables closed-loop field-oriented control (FOC) at >20 kHz PWM frequencies. |
| Factory Calibration | BAB-025 includes end-of-line calibration for reduced total angular error (<±1° with dynamic compensation). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute rotary position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90380LDC-BAB-023-RE | Same SOIC-8 package, NdFeB magnet, X/Z axis, but 30 mT full-scale range and medium bandwidth (3.3V/5V selectable). | Lower magnetic range suits smaller magnets or tighter air gaps; medium BW increases tracking delay to 29.5 µs. | Select when magnet size or mechanical constraints limit flux density, and loop bandwidth <10 kHz is acceptable. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-025-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant package, identical BAB-025 programming (NdFeB, X/Z, 60 mT, high BW), but with separate die A/B supplies and outputs. | Provides hardware-level redundancy for ASIL-D systems; requires additional PCB area and routing complexity. | Choose for safety-critical traction motor control where fault-tolerant position sensing is mandated by ISO 26262. |

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis orientation, meaning OUT1 carries the cosine of the X-axis field component and OUT2 carries the sine of the Z-axis field component. This configuration supports off-axis two-pole magnet mounting in through-shaft applications, as confirmed in Table 2 and Section 8.2 of the datasheet.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE support 3.3V operation?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE is configured for 5V-only operation (suffix "-025" indicates high-bandwidth mode with 5V supply). The VDD3V3 pin must be left floating; connecting it may disrupt functionality. This is explicitly required in Section 9.1 and Figure 13 of the datasheet.
What is the full-scale magnetic range of MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE has a factory-programmed full-scale magnetic range of 60 mT, corresponding to the "-025" option code (BAx-xx5 = 60 mT range per Table 2). This range is optimized for NdFeB magnets and ensures ±40% VDD output swing at TA = 25°C.
How does the output refresh rate of MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE impact motor control performance?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE achieves a 4 µs output refresh rate per channel (8 µs total for both sine and cosine), enabling accurate position sampling at up to 25,000 rpm. This low latency supports high-bandwidth field-oriented control loops with minimal phase lag, critical for torque ripple reduction in PMSM and BLDC drives.
Is MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90380 variants in SOIC-8?
Yes, all SOIC-8 variants-including MLX90380LDC-BAB-025-RE-share identical pinout, footprint, and mechanical dimensions per Section 14.2 of the datasheet. However, electrical behavior (supply voltage, magnetic range, bandwidth) differs by option code, so PCB design must match the selected variant's operational requirements.
