Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE 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 4µs output refresh rate, and is factory-programmed for NdFeB magnets with 30mT full-scale magnetic range and X/Z magnetic axis configuration.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE datasheet, MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE pinout, MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE application in motor control, or MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE equivalent for resolver replacement, this device provides ratiometric analog outputs, programmable bandwidth, end-of-shaft/through-shaft compatibility, and AEC-Q100 qualified operation in harsh automotive and industrial environments.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-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, enabling direct interface with MCU ADCs without external reference.
Factory-programmed for NdFeB magnets (BAB), 30mT range (xx3), X/Z axis (x1x), and high-bandwidth mode (x5x), it delivers 1.6 samples/degree at 25,000 rpm with ≤74 µs tracking delay. Sensitivity is set to ~1.33%VDD/mT, and offset is trimmed to 50%VDD at zero field.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Dual ratiometric analog: OUT1 (COS), OUT2 (SIN), ±40%VDD swing at full scale |
| Refresh Rate | 4 µs per field component (8 µs total for both outputs), enabling real-time angle tracking up to 25,000 rpm |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V; VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins allow single-supply flexibility with floating unused rail |
| Magnetic Range | 30 mT full-scale (BAB-3xx), optimized for NdFeB magnets with X/Z axis sensitivity mismatch compensation |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C ambient, qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0, supporting under-hood and traction motor applications |
| Angular Accuracy | ±1° total error with dynamic compensation; ±10° uncorrected error over full temperature range |
| Output Noise | ≤4.6 mV RMS (high-bandwidth mode), ensuring <0.1° noise-induced angle jitter at typical signal levels |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE uses the SOIC-8 package (5.0 mm × 6.2 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) with exposed pad for thermal performance. Unused pins (NC) and TEST must be connected to ground for optimal EMC.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Primary supply ground reference; connects to PCB ground plane for low-noise analog return path |
| 2 | NC | No-connect pin; must be tied to GND per EMC recommendation |
| 3 | TEST | Factory test access; requires GND connection in application to suppress coupling and ensure stability |
| 4 | NC | No-connect pin; must be tied to GND per EMC recommendation |
| 5 | OUT2 | Analog SIN output; ratiometric to VDD, drives MCU ADC input directly with ≤25 Ω source impedance |
| 6 | VDD5V | 5V supply input; active when 5V operation selected; VDD3V3 must float in this mode |
| 7 | VDD3V3 | 3.3V supply input; active when 3.3V operation selected; VDD5V must float in this mode |
| 8 | OUT1 | Analog COS output; paired with OUT2 to form quadrature signal for arctan-based angle computation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field detection enables true 3D magnetic positioning without external concentrators |
| Programmable Bandwidth | High-bandwidth mode (BAB-300) sets 125 kHz Nyquist frequency and 74 µs tracking delay for fast rotor dynamics |
| Ratiometric Outputs | Output voltage scales linearly with VDD, eliminating need for precision voltage reference in MCU ADC interface |
| End-of-Shaft / Through-Shaft Support | X/Z axis configuration (BAB-x1x) matches two-pole magnet off-axis (through-shaft) mechanical layouts |
| Factory Magnet Calibration | Pre-programmed for NdFeB magnets (BAB), 30mT range (xx3), and X/Z axis - no field calibration required at system level |

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 NdFeB magnet calibration, but low-bandwidth mode (100 → x0x) and 40mT range | Lower update rate (200 µs power-on + 85.5 µs tracking delay); suited for slower motors (<5,000 rpm) or cost-sensitive designs | Select when bandwidth demand is low and higher magnetic range improves SNR in low-field environments |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-025-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant package; identical BAB-025 programming (NdFeB, 20mT, X/Z, medium BW) | Provides hardware-level fault tolerance for ASIL-D systems; larger footprint and separate die supplies required | Choose for safety-critical automotive applications requiring dual-channel redundancy and independent failure monitoring |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-100-RE, the -300-RE offers 12× faster output update and tighter magnetic range for high-dynamic BLDC control; versus MLX90380LGO-BAB-025-RE, it trades redundancy for compactness and lower system cost in non-safety-critical industrial use.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration (indicated by "x1x" in option code), meaning OUT1 responds to BX (COS) and OUT2 to BZ (SIN). This supports through-shaft mounting with off-axis two-pole magnets and includes built-in sensitivity mismatch compensation per datasheet section 8.2.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE require external programming during system integration?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE is fully pre-programmed at wafer/test level for NdFeB magnets (BAB), 30mT range (xx3), X/Z axis (x1x), and high-bandwidth mode (x5x). No field programming or EEPROM writes are needed - it powers up ready for analog interface with MCU ADCs.
How does the supply voltage selection work on MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE supports dual supply rails: VDD5V (pin 6) and VDD3V3 (pin 7). For 5V operation, apply 4.5–5.5 V to VDD5V and leave VDD3V3 floating; for 3.3V operation, apply 3.135–3.6 V to VDD3V3 and leave VDD5V floating - per datasheet section 9.1 and Figure 13.
What is the angular accuracy specification for MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE?
MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE achieves ±1° total angular error when dynamic compensation (offset/gain/phase correction) is applied in the host MCU. Without correction, uncorrected linearity error is ±10° at 25°C and ±15° across -40°C to 150°C - values confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet revision 11.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE be used with ferrite or SmCo magnets?
No - MLX90380LDC-BAB-300-RE is specifically calibrated for NdFeB magnets (option code BAB). Using ferrite (BAC) or SmCo (BAA) magnets will cause significant gain and offset errors due to mismatched temperature coefficient compensation and sensitivity scaling; only BAB-coded variants guarantee specified performance with NdFeB.
