Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® resolver IC delivering true 360° contactless angular position sensing via dual ratiometric sine/cosine analog outputs, with 4 µs output refresh rate, -40°C to 150°C operating temperature, and factory-programmed NdFeB magnet sensitivity (60 mT full-scale range) and X/Z magnetic axis configuration for through-shaft motor applications.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, real-world motor control use cases, and validated alternative options for absolute rotary position sensing in high-temperature automotive and industrial BLDC/PMSM systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Z) magnetic field components using integrated vertical and planar Hall elements, enabling precise angle computation from rotating permanent magnets without physical contact. Its dual analog outputs deliver ratiometric sine and cosine signals referenced to VDD, supporting direct ADC interfacing.
Programmable bandwidth (high BW mode), selectable 3.3 V or 5 V supply operation, and factory-configured NdFeB magnet compatibility (BAB prefix) with 60 mT full-scale range and X/Z axis orientation define its system-level behavior. The device supports end-of-shaft and through-shaft configurations via magnetic axis selection and includes on-chip EEPROM for calibration data storage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time angle tracking up to 25,000 rpm with <74 µs total tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - Dual-rail support allows flexible MCU interface without level-shifting. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 60 mT - Factory-programmed (BAB-125) for NdFeB magnets; enables robust signal swing with low-noise resolution. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - Supports through-shaft mounting with COS on X-axis and SIN on Z-axis per functional diagram. |
| Output Type | Ratiometric sine/cosine analog - Output voltages scale linearly with VDD (5–95% VDD range), simplifying ADC reference design. |
| Total Angular Error | ±1° with dynamic compensation - Achievable via external ECU offset/gain correction applied before arctan(OUT2/OUT1). |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE uses the RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for surface-mount assembly in compact motor control modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VSS | Supply Ground | Primary ground reference for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 2 - NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to ground for EMC performance. |
| 3 - TEST | Test Pin | Factory test access; tie to ground for optimal EMC in production designs. |
| 4 - NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to ground for EMC performance. |
| 5 - OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Sine output referenced to VDD; delivers ratiometric voltage proportional to Bz component in X/Z mode. |
| 6 - VDD5V | 5 V Supply Input | Active 5 V rail; when used, VDD3V3 must remain floating per application diagrams. |
| 7 - VDD3V3 | 3.3 V Supply Input | Active 3.3 V rail; when used, VDD5V must remain floating per application diagrams. |
| 8 - OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Cosine output referenced to VDD; delivers ratiometric voltage proportional to Bx component in X/Z mode. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing Architecture | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field measurement eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-die assemblies. |
| Programmable Bandwidth | High-bandwidth mode enables 1.6 samples/degree at 25,000 rpm - critical for field-oriented control loop timing. |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | Eliminates dependency on stable voltage references; SIN/COS outputs scale directly with VDD, reducing ADC design complexity. |
| Factory-Configured Magnetic Axis & Sensitivity | BAB-125 variant fixes X/Z axis and 60 mT range for NdFeB magnets - removes field calibration during production. |
| On-Chip EEPROM Programming | Enables post-assembly parameter tuning (e.g., offset, gain) via connector pins - no external programmer required. |
Applications

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-RE | Same SOIC-8 package and X/Z axis, but 40 mT full-scale range for SmCo magnets. | Lower magnetic sensitivity suits higher-coercivity SmCo magnets; requires different magnet geometry or air gap. | Select when using SmCo magnets and tighter magnetic coupling is available. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture; identical BAB-125 programming (NdFeB, 60 mT, X/Z). | Provides functional safety compliance (ASIL-D ready) via hardware redundancy; larger footprint and higher cost. | Select when ISO 26262 ASIL-D fault tolerance is required for safety-critical steering or braking actuators. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE, the BAB-100 variant trades magnetic range for SmCo compatibility, while the LGO-BAB-125-RE adds hardware redundancy at the cost of board area and complexity - both retain identical angular accuracy and bandwidth but serve distinct magnet and safety requirements.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis operation, meaning OUT1 (COS) responds to the Bx field component and OUT2 (SIN) responds to the Bz field component. This configuration supports through-shaft mounting where the magnet is positioned off-axis relative to the IC surface, as confirmed in Table 2 and Figure 7 of the datasheet.
Which magnet type is MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE optimized for?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE is optimized for NdFeB (Neodymium Iron Boron) permanent magnets, as indicated by the "BAB" option code prefix. Its 60 mT full-scale magnetic range (suffix "125") is calibrated for typical NdFeB flux densities, ensuring optimal signal-to-noise ratio and linearity across the -40°C to 150°C operating range.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE operate from both 3.3 V and 5 V supplies?
Yes, MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE supports dual-supply operation: it accepts either 3.135–3.6 V on VDD3V3 or 4.5–5.5 V on VDD5V, but not both simultaneously. When using 5 V, VDD3V3 must be left floating; when using 3.3 V, VDD5V must be left floating - per Section 13.1 of the datasheet and Pin Definition Table 4.
What is the output update period and tracking delay of MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE has a fixed 4 µs output update period (TS), with each field component sampled sequentially. In high-bandwidth mode (enabled by BAB-125's "125" suffix), the total tracking delay is 74 µs - defined as the time between magnetic stimulus rotation and corresponding SIN/COS output change, including internal sample-and-hold filtering.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE require external programming hardware?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE supports programming through the connector using only the four application pins (VDD3V3, VDD5V, OUT1, OUT2) - no dedicated programmer or debug interface is needed. Factory programming sets the X/Z axis, 60 mT range, and NdFeB magnet type; field calibration (e.g., offset correction) can be performed via these same pins per Section 3 and Application Diagrams.
