Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-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 configuration, and 60 mT full-scale magnetic range.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a high-accuracy resolver replacement in motor control feedback loops where end-of-shaft or through-shaft mounting, wide temperature operation, and ratiometric analog outputs are required.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-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 (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are ratiometric to VDD and deliver ±40% VDD swing at full scale with 50% VDD quiescent level.
Programmable bandwidth (high/medium/low) and on-chip signal conditioning-including sample-and-hold filtering with configurable time constant-enable optimization for dynamic response versus noise rejection. The device supports programming via its connector pins and includes factory calibration for angular accuracy up to ±1° with dynamic compensation.
Key Specifications

| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 60 mT - Matches NdFeB magnets in X/Z axis configuration, ensuring optimal ADC utilization without external gain stages. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V or 5 V - Dual-rail support allows direct interface with common MCU ADC reference voltages and simplifies power domain design. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments without derating. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5% - Achieved over 360° rotation with VDD=5V and output voltage within 0.5–4.5 V, supporting high-fidelity field-oriented control. |
| Total Angular Error | ±1° with dynamic compensation - Reflects system-level accuracy after offset/gain correction applied by host ECU prior to arctan computation. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - Enables robust sensing in through-shaft configurations where magnetic flux is oriented perpendicular to IC surface along Z and in-plane along X. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP is housed in an SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal performance in high-temperature motor control modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

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 option, but programmed for 40 mT full-scale range and X/Y magnetic axis. | Suitable for end-of-shaft configurations with lower magnetic field strength; requires different mechanical mounting orientation. | Select when using SmCo or lower-strength NdFeB magnets and space-constrained end-of-shaft layouts. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP | TSSOP-16 dual-die fully redundant package; identical magnetic programming (NdFeB, X/Z, 60 mT) and electrical specs. | Required for ASIL-D or dual-channel safety architectures; occupies larger PCB area and requires two independent power domains. | Choose for automotive safety-critical systems needing hardware redundancy and fault-tolerant angular reporting. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP, the BAB-100 variant trades magnetic range and axis for compact end-of-shaft fit, while the LGO-BAB-125 provides hardware redundancy at the cost of footprint and layout complexity-neither offers pin compatibility, but all share identical signal processing architecture and programming interface.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 responds to the Z-axis magnetic field component and OUT2 to the X-axis component. This enables robust through-shaft sensing where flux is oriented perpendicular to the IC surface along Z and in-plane along X. The option code "BAB-125" confirms NdFeB magnet compatibility and 60 mT full-scale range.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply voltages simultaneously?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP supports either 3.3 V or 5 V operation-not both concurrently. Pin 6 (VDD5V) and Pin 7 (VDD3V3) are separate supply inputs; only one should be powered while the other is left floating. The device automatically detects active supply rail and configures internal biasing accordingly, as specified in Section 13.1 of the datasheet.
What is the output update rate and tracking delay of MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP achieves a 4 µs output update period in high-bandwidth mode, with a corresponding tracking delay of ≤12 µs. This delay represents the time between magnetic stimulus rotation and stable COS/SIN output change, including internal sample-and-hold filtering. The value is fixed by the BAB-125 option code's high-bandwidth programming setting.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP be reprogrammed in-system?
Yes, MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP supports programming through its connector pins (VDD, VSS, OUT1, OUT2) using Melexis' PSF protocol. Parameters including magnetic axis, sensitivity range, bandwidth, and TCS can be modified post-soldering. However, factory-programmed settings like NdFeB magnet type and X/Z axis are locked unless overwritten via valid PTC command sequence.
What is the total angular accuracy of MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP over temperature?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-SP achieves ±1° total angular error over -40°C to +150°C when dynamic compensation (offset, gain, phase correction) is applied by the host ECU prior to arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation. Without compensation, total error is ±15° across the full temperature range, as specified in Table 8 of the datasheet.
