Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs for resolver replacement in motor control systems. 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 use with 30 mT full-scale magnetic range and X/Z magnetic axis configuration.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a high-accuracy, automotive-grade angular position transducer requiring precise magnetic system integration, ratiometric ADC interfacing, and end-of-shaft or through-shaft mechanical mounting.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-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 (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are ratiometric to VDD, with programmable filter bandwidth enabling optimization for 3.3V or 5V MCU ADC input ranges.
This SOIC-8 variant uses a single die architecture with dedicated VDD3V3 and VDD5V supply pins, internal chopping at 1 MHz, and 4 µs total output update period (2 µs per axis). Magnetic axis selection (X/Z), sensitivity (30 mT), and magnet type (NdFeB) are factory-configured per the BAB-123 option code.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Dual ratiometric analog: OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN, each spanning 5–95% VDD over full magnetic range |
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs total - enables real-time angle computation at up to 250 kSPS for high-speed motor control loops |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V (VDD3V3) or 4.5–5.5 V (VDD5V); pins must be used exclusively - no simultaneous biasing |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 30 mT - optimized for NdFeB magnets in end-of-shaft or through-shaft configurations with X/Z axis alignment |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Total Angular Error | ±1° with dynamic compensation - requires external ECU-based offset/gain/phase correction of raw outputs |
| Linearity | ±0.5% (VDD=5V, output 0.5–4.5 V) - defines maximum deviation from ideal sine/cosine waveform shape |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (body width 3.9 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm) with exposed pad not electrically connected. Unused pins (NC) and TEST must be tied to VSS 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 |
| 2 NC | Not Connected | Internally unconnected; tie to VSS for EMC compliance |
| 3 TEST | Test Pin | Factory test access; tie to VSS in application to suppress noise coupling |
| 4 NC | Not Connected | Internally unconnected; tie to VSS for EMC compliance |
| 5 OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Ratiometric voltage proportional to Bz component; used with OUT1 to compute arctan(OUT2/OUT1) |
| 6 VDD5V | 5V Supply Input | Enable 5V operation only - leave VDD3V3 floating when VDD5V is powered |
| 7 VDD3V3 | 3.3V Supply Input | Enable 3.3V operation only - leave VDD5V floating when VDD3V3 is powered |
| 8 OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Ratiometric voltage proportional to Bx component; paired with OUT2 for absolute angle resolution |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field measurement eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-die assemblies |
| Selectable Magnetic Axis | X/Z configuration enables compatibility with both end-of-shaft (two-pole) and through-shaft (multi-pole) magnet arrangements |
| Programmable Sensitivity | 30 mT full-scale range matched to NdFeB magnet strength, maximizing signal-to-noise ratio without external gain stages |
| Ratiometric Outputs | Output voltages scale directly with VDD, removing supply variation impact on angle accuracy when paired with ratiometric ADC |
| High-Speed Update | 4 µs output latency supports closed-loop FOC at >20,000 rpm with minimal phase lag in torque control paths |
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-BAA-043-RE | SmCo magnet support, 50 mT full-scale range, X/Y magnetic axis | Better suited for high-temperature (>125°C) end-of-shaft applications with SmCo magnets; lower sensitivity drift (350 ppm/°C) | Select when using SmCo magnets and requiring tighter TCS stability over wide temperature range |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-123-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture, identical BAB-123 programming | Provides functional redundancy for ASIL-D safety-critical systems; requires larger PCB footprint and separate ground planes | Choose for ISO 26262 ASIL-D designs where fault tolerance mandates dual independent dies |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE, the BAA-043-RE offers superior temperature coefficient stability for SmCo systems but lacks NdFeB optimization, while the LGO-BAB-123-RE delivers hardware-level redundancy at the cost of increased layout complexity and power consumption - neither is pin-compatible due to differing package and pin count.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 responds to the Bx field component and OUT2 to the Bz component. This supports both end-of-shaft (two-pole magnet) and through-shaft (multi-pole magnet) installations per the BAB-123 option code definition.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE operate from both 3.3V and 5V supplies simultaneously?
No. MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE must be powered from either VDD3V3 (3.135–3.6 V) or VDD5V (4.5–5.5 V), not both. When using VDD5V, the VDD3V3 pin must remain floating; when using VDD3V3, the VDD5V pin must be left unconnected - mixing supplies risks undefined behavior.
What is the significance of the 'BAB' prefix in MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE?
The 'BAB' segment identifies NdFeB magnet compatibility, 30 mT full-scale magnetic range (third digit '3'), and X/Z magnetic axis (second digit '2'). This factory-programmed configuration ensures optimal sensitivity matching and temperature drift compensation for neodymium-iron-boron permanent magnets in demanding motor control applications.
How does MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE achieve ±1° total angular error?
The ±1° total angular error specification for MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE applies only when dynamic compensation (offset, gain, and phase correction) is applied by the host ECU prior to arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation. The raw sensor contributes ±10° error at 25°C and ±15° across -40°C to 150°C without correction.
Is MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90380 variants in SOIC-8?
Yes. All SOIC-8 variants including MLX90380LDC-BAB-123-RE share identical pinout, package dimensions, and electrical interface. Differences are limited to factory-programmed parameters (magnet type, sensitivity, axis, bandwidth), not physical connectivity or supply requirements.
