Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-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, 3.3 V or 5 V supply operation, and -40°C to 150°C operating temperature range. It uses NdFeB magnet sensitivity calibration (BAB), X/Y magnetic axis configuration, and high-bandwidth programming for brushless motor rotor angle sensing in automotive EPS and industrial servo drives.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis selection, ratiometric output behavior, and validated alternatives for absolute angular position sensing in high-temperature motor control systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Y) magnetic field components using integrated vertical and planar Hall elements. Its dual analog outputs (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are ratiometric to VDD, enabling direct interfacing with MCU ADCs without external reference scaling.
This variant is factory-programmed for NdFeB magnets (BAB), X/Y magnetic axis (BAA-x0x pattern per datasheet Table 2), and high-bandwidth mode (BAx-1xx → 5 V supply + high BW). The 4 µs update period supports real-time field-oriented control at up to 25,000 rpm with ≤1° total angular error after dynamic compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time rotor angle tracking for FOC at >25,000 rpm |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - Dual-rail support allows system-level voltage architecture flexibility |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Y - Supports end-of-shaft configurations with two-pole magnets and equal sensitivity on both axes |
| Sensitivity Range | 40 mT full-scale - Factory-programmed for NdFeB magnets (BAB-100), optimized for 5 V high-BW operation |
| Output Type | Ratiometric sine/cosine analog - Output swing is %VDD, eliminating need for external voltage reference |
| Total Angular Error | ±1° with dynamic compensation - Achievable via off-chip arctan(OUT2/OUT1) with offset/gain correction |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE is housed in an SOIC-8 package (JEDEC MS-012AC) with 1.27 mm pitch, 4.9 mm × 3.9 mm body, and exposed pad not connected internally. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner; pins 2 and 4 are NC and must be grounded for EMC compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Supply ground reference for all internal circuitry and analog outputs |
| 2 | NC | No connect - must be tied to GND for optimal EMC performance |
| 3 | TEST | Factory test pin - grounded externally to suppress noise and improve immunity |
| 4 | NC | No connect - must be tied to GND for optimal EMC performance |
| 5 | OUT2 | Analog SIN output - ratiometric to VDD, used with OUT1 for arctan-based angle calculation |
| 6 | VDD5V | 5 V supply input - active in 5 V high-bandwidth mode; VDD3V3 must float |
| 7 | VDD3V3 | 3.3 V supply input - active in 3.3 V mode; VDD5V must float |
| 8 | OUT1 | Analog COS output - ratiometric to VDD, paired with OUT2 for full 360° angular resolution |
Key Features

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-BAA-100-RE | SmCo magnet calibration instead of NdFeB; identical SOIC-8 package, X/Y axis, and high-BW mode | Better high-temperature stability above 120°C but higher cost; requires SmCo magnet assembly | Select when magnet temperature exceeds 120°C or long-term flux stability is critical |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture vs. SOIC-8 single die; same BAB-100 programming and X/Y axis | ASIL-B capable via hardware redundancy; larger footprint and higher current draw (up to 20 mA) | Select for automotive safety-critical applications requiring fault-tolerant position reporting |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE, the BAA-100 offers superior thermal drift performance with SmCo magnets but at higher material cost, while the LGO-BAB-100 delivers ASIL-B readiness through physical redundancy at the expense of board area and power budget - making the LDC-BAB-100 optimal for cost-sensitive, high-volume EPS and industrial BLDC designs.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE is factory-programmed for X/Y magnetic axis configuration (per option code BAB-100 decoding), supporting end-of-shaft two-pole magnet mounting with equal sensitivity on both axes. This is confirmed in Table 2 of the datasheet and Figure 6, and enables direct use with standard radial-field magnets without mechanical reorientation.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply voltages?
Yes, MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE supports both 3.3 V and 5 V operation, but only one supply rail is active at a time. For this variant (BAB-100), the high-bandwidth mode requires 5 V on VDD5V, with VDD3V3 left floating. Supply current is 9–10 mA typical under 5 V high-BW conditions, as specified in Table 7.
How is the 40 mT full-scale magnetic range implemented in MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE?
The 40 mT full-scale range in MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE is factory-programmed during final test using the BAB-100 option code ('100' = xx0 → 40 mT range per Table 2). It is calibrated for NdFeB magnets and yields ±40%VDD output swing at 25°C with zero magnetic offset, enabling optimal utilization of a 12-bit MCU ADC input range.
What is the angular accuracy specification for MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE achieves ±1° total angular error when dynamic compensation (offset, gain, and phase correction) is applied in the host ECU prior to arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation. Without correction, total error is ±10° at 25°C and ±15° across -40°C to 150°C, as defined in Table 8.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE be used in ASIL-B automotive systems?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE is a single-die SOIC-8 device and is not ASIL-B certified. For ASIL-B applications, Melexis specifies the TSSOP-16 dual-die variant MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-RE, which provides hardware redundancy. The LDC-BAB-100-RE is qualified for AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (-40°C to 150°C) and widely used in non-safety-critical EPS subsystems.
