Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs for absolute angular measurement. 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, X/Z magnetic axis, and 60 mT full-scale magnetic range.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis configuration, ratiometric output behavior, and automotive-grade motor control use cases.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP 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 ratiometric sine (OUT2) and cosine (OUT1) signals referenced to VDD, enabling high-resolution angle computation via arctangent in the host MCU.
This variant is preconfigured for NdFeB magnets (BAB), X/Z axis orientation (second digit '1'), and 60 mT full-scale range (third digit '5'). It supports programmable bandwidth modes and internal gain calibration to optimize ADC input utilization across varying mechanical air gaps and magnet strengths.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time position tracking up to 25,000 rpm with ≤74 µs total tracking delay in low-bandwidth mode. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3V or 5V - Dual-supply pins (VDD3V3/VDD5V) allow flexible MCU interface without level-shifting. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 60 mT - Factory-programmed sensitivity for NdFeB magnets ensures optimal signal swing with typical end-of-shaft configurations. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - OUT1 = COS(X), OUT2 = SIN(Z); supports through-shaft and off-axis multi-pole magnet arrangements. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5% - Measured over 360° at VDD=5V within 0.5–4.5 V output window; enables <1° uncorrected angular error. |
| Total Angular Error (w/ compensation) | ±1° - Achievable using dynamic offset/gain correction on host ECU, independent of mechanical eccentricity. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP is housed in an 8-pin SOIC-8 package (JEDEC MS-012AC) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; device orientation follows standard SOIC top-view convention.
| 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. |
| 2 NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for EMC performance. |
| 3 TEST | Test Pin | Factory test access; tie to GND for optimal EMC and noise immunity in production systems. |
| 4 NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for EMC performance. |
| 5 OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Ratiometric voltage proportional to Z-axis magnetic field; used as SIN input to MCU ADC. |
| 6 VDD5V | 5V Supply Input | Active 5V supply rail; when used, VDD3V3 must remain floating per datasheet guidance. |
| 7 VDD3V3 | 3.3V Supply Input | Active 3.3V supply rail; when used, VDD5V must remain floating per datasheet guidance. |
| 8 OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Ratiometric voltage proportional to X-axis magnetic field; used as COS input to MCU ADC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field detection eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-die assemblies. |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | OUT1/OUT2 scale directly with VDD, removing dependency on stable reference voltage and simplifying ADC scaling. |
| Programmable Bandwidth | Three selectable filter bandwidths (low/medium/high) via option code enable optimization for speed vs. noise trade-offs. |
| End-of-Shaft / Through-Shaft Flexibility | X/Z axis configuration supports both on-axis (end-of-shaft) and off-axis (through-shaft) magnet placements without hardware change. |
| NdFeB Magnet Optimization | BAB-coded sensitivity and TCS (1100 ppm/°C) match NdFeB demagnetization curves, maintaining accuracy across temperature. |
Applications
| Brushless Motor Rotor Position | Electric Power Steering (EPS) |

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-100-SP | Same SOIC-8 package and NdFeB magnet tuning, but 40 mT full-scale range and X/Y axis configuration. | Suitable for end-of-shaft SmCo or smaller-gap NdFeB setups where lower magnetic sensitivity reduces saturation risk. | Select when mechanical design uses centered two-pole magnets and requires equal X/Y sensitivity for symmetrical field coupling. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-105-SP | TSSOP-16 dual-die fully redundant package; identical BAB-105 programming but with die-level redundancy and separate power domains. | Required for ASIL-D systems needing hardware-level fault tolerance; adds ~2.5 mm² PCB area and dual supply routing complexity. | Choose only when functional safety architecture mandates physical redundancy - not a drop-in replacement due to pin count and layout changes. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP, the BAB-100 variant trades magnetic range for axis symmetry in compact end-of-shaft layouts, while the LGO-BAB-105 provides certified redundancy at the cost of board space and supply complexity - neither offers pin compatibility, but all three share identical signal processing firmware and calibration workflows.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP 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 through-shaft and off-axis multi-pole magnet arrangements, and is confirmed by the '1' in the third digit of the option code BAB-105.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP support both 3.3V and 5V operation simultaneously?
No - MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP uses separate VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins, but only one supply may be active at a time. When using 5V, the VDD3V3 pin must be left floating; when using 3.3V, the VDD5V pin must be left floating. This prevents internal contention and ensures proper POR behavior per datasheet Section 13.
How is the 60 mT full-scale range implemented in MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP?
The 60 mT full-scale range in MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP is achieved through factory-programmed sensitivity of 0.66 %VDD/mT (per Table 8, row xx5), resulting in ±40% VDD output swing at 60 mT. This setting is permanently stored in on-chip EEPROM and cannot be altered in the field.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP be used in ASIL-B or ASIL-C automotive systems?
Yes - MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (-40°C to +150°C), supports dynamic error compensation, and provides diagnostic-ready analog outputs. Its failure modes and FIT rate are documented in Melexis's FMEDA report, enabling integration into ASIL-B systems; ASIL-C requires additional system-level monitoring, which is supported via its ratiometric outputs and predictable tracking delay.
What is the purpose of the TEST and NC pins on MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-SP?
Pin 3 (TEST) is a factory test access point and should be tied to GND in final designs to improve EMC performance and reduce noise coupling. Pins 2 and 4 (NC) have no internal connection and must also be tied to GND per datasheet recommendation to minimize parasitic antenna effects and ensure robust operation in noisy motor drive environments.
