Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® Hall-based resolver IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs for absolute rotary position sensing. It operates from 3.3V or 5V supply, supports -40°C to 150°C ambient, features 4 µs output refresh rate, and is factory-programmed for NdFeB magnet compatibility, 30 mT full-scale magnetic range, X/Y magnetic axis, and high-bandwidth operation - enabling precise angle measurement in brushless motor rotor position feedback.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis configuration, ratiometric analog output behavior, and validated alternatives for automotive and industrial motor control designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology with orthogonal and in-plane magnetic field sensitivity, enabling contactless angular position detection using rotating permanent magnets. Its dual analog outputs (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are ratiometric to VDD and deliver ±40% VDD swing at full-scale flux density.
This variant is preprogrammed for X/Y magnetic axis configuration, 30 mT full-scale range (BAB-103), NdFeB magnet optimization, and high-bandwidth mode (suffix '3' in third digit), yielding 125 kHz Nyquist frequency and 12 µs tracking delay - optimized for fast-response field-oriented control loops in PMSM and BLDC systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - enables real-time angle computation at up to 250 kSPS for high-speed motor commutation. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3V or 5V - dual-rail support allows direct interface with 3.3V MCUs or legacy 5V systems without level-shifting. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 30 mT - calibrated for NdFeB magnets, ensuring optimal ADC utilization and signal-to-noise ratio in end-of-shaft configurations. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Y - delivers orthogonal BX and BY field components for true 360° angle resolution with minimal harmonic distortion. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to 150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments without derating. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5% - specified at VDD=5V within 0.5–4.5 V output window, supporting high-accuracy closed-loop torque control. |
| Tracking Delay | 12 µs - fixed low-latency response in high-bandwidth mode, critical for <10 µs current loop timing budgets. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP is housed in an industry-standard SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, with exposed pad option not applicable. Unused pins (NC) and TEST must be connected to ground for optimal EMC performance.
| 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 | Internally unconnected; requires external tie to GND per EMC guidelines to suppress parasitic coupling. |
| 3 TEST | Factory Test Pin | Used during wafer sort and final test; must be grounded in application to prevent noise injection and ensure stable biasing. |
| 4 NC | Not Connected | Internally unconnected; requires external tie to GND per EMC guidelines to suppress parasitic coupling. |
| 5 OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Ratiometric voltage output proportional to BY; 0–100% VDD swing, ±40% VDD at full scale, 25 Ω source impedance. |
| 6 VDD5V | 5V Supply Input | Active 5V rail; when used, VDD3V3 must remain floating - enables higher SNR and extended temperature stability. |
| 7 VDD3V3 | 3.3V Supply Input | Active 3.3V rail; when used, VDD5V must remain floating - reduces power consumption and simplifies LDO selection. |
| 8 OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Ratiometric voltage output proportional to BX; 0–100% VDD swing, ±40% VDD at full scale, 25 Ω source impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (Z) and in-plane (X/Y) field detection enables single-chip 360° angle resolution without external flux concentrators. |
| Selectable Magnetic Axis | X/Y configuration (BAB-103) ensures equal sensitivity on both axes - ideal for end-of-shaft two-pole magnet mounting with minimal mechanical alignment tolerance. |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | OUT1 and OUT2 scale linearly with VDD, eliminating need for precision voltage references and simplifying MCU ADC calibration across supply variations. |
| Programmable Bandwidth | High-bandwidth mode ('3') sets 125 kHz Nyquist frequency and 12 µs tracking delay - matched to fast PMSM rotor dynamics up to 25,000 rpm. |
| Factory Calibration | Preprogrammed for NdFeB magnet (BAB), 30 mT range (103), and X/Y axis - eliminates field programming time and ensures consistent production startup. |
Applications
| Brushless Motor Rotor Position | PMSM Field-Oriented Control |

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-000-RE | SmCo magnet optimized, 40 mT range, X/Y axis, low-bandwidth mode (0xx) | Higher full-scale range suits larger air gaps; slower 74 µs tracking delay limits use in >10,000 rpm systems | Select when using SmCo magnets and lower bandwidth is acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial fans or pumps. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-103-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant package, same BAB-103 programming, 1.5 kV CDM ESD rating | Redundant architecture required for ASIL-D functional safety compliance; larger footprint and higher cost | Choose for automotive EPS or brake-by-wire where fault-tolerant dual-channel operation is mandated. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP, the BAA-000 offers wider magnetic range but slower response, while the LGO-BAB-103 adds redundancy and safety certification at the expense of size and cost - making the LDC-BAB-103-SP optimal for high-speed, space-constrained BLDC applications requiring NdFeB compatibility and minimal latency.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP is factory-programmed for X/Y magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 responds to the BX field component and OUT2 to BY, enabling true orthogonal sensing ideal for end-of-shaft two-pole magnet setups. This is confirmed by the '103' option code where the second digit '0' denotes X/Y axis per Table 2 of the datasheet.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP support both 3.3V and 5V supply simultaneously?
No - MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP supports either 3.3V or 5V operation, not both simultaneously. When using VDD5V (pin 6), VDD3V3 (pin 7) must be left floating; conversely, when using VDD3V3, VDD5V must float. This is explicitly stated in Section 9.1 and Figure 12/13 of the datasheet.
What is the full-scale magnetic range and magnet type compatibility for MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP is programmed for a 30 mT full-scale magnetic range and NdFeB magnet compatibility, as indicated by the 'BAB' prefix (NdFeB) and '103' suffix (30 mT range, high-bandwidth mode). This ensures optimal sensitivity and temperature compensation for neodymium-based magnets in automotive and industrial motors.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP be reprogrammed in-system?
No - MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP is factory-programmed with fixed configuration (X/Y axis, 30 mT range, NdFeB magnet, high-bandwidth mode) and does not support in-system reprogramming. The TEST pin is for factory use only; customer programming requires dedicated PSF tools and is not supported on preprogrammed variants like BAB-103.
What is the maximum rotational speed supported by MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-103-SP supports up to 25,000 rpm, as verified by its 125 kHz Nyquist frequency and 12 µs tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. At this speed, it maintains 1.6 samples per degree, sufficient for accurate angle reconstruction in high-performance PMSM and BLDC motor control loops.
