Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-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 with 3.3V or 5V supply, supports -40°C to 150°C ambient, features 4µs output refresh rate, and is factory-programmed for NdFeB magnets, X/Z magnetic axis, and 30mT full-scale range-enabling high-accuracy rotor position sensing in BLDC motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis configuration, real-time tracking delay specs, and validated alternatives for automotive-grade motor control designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-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 and deliver synchronized 360° angle data without interpolation.
This variant is preconfigured for X/Z magnetic axis operation with sensitivity mismatch compensation, 30mT full-scale range, and medium bandwidth programming (3.3V supply), yielding 29.5µs tracking delay and ±0.5% linearity over its operating temperature range.

|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time angular sampling at up to 250 kSPS for high-speed motor commutation. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V or 5 V - Dual-rail support allows direct interface with common MCU ADC reference voltages. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 30 mT - Factory-set for NdFeB magnets; defines ±40% VDD output swing at TA = 25°C. |
| Magnetic Axis Configuration | X/Z - Outputs correspond to BX (COS) and BZ (SIN); optimized for through-shaft or off-axis two-pole magnet placement. |
| Tracking Delay | 29.5 µs - Medium-bandwidth filter setting ensures stable signal acquisition at ≤15,000 rpm without aliasing. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments. |
| Linearity Error | ±0.5% - Measured over 360° at VDD = 5 V and output voltage within [0.5 V; 4.5 V]. |
| Total Angular Error (w/ correction) | ±1° - Achievable using dynamic offset/gain compensation in host ECU prior to arctan(OUT2/OUT1). |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE is housed in a RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (5.3 mm × 6.2 mm × 1.75 mm), optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal reliability in high-temperature motor control PCBs.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90380LDC-BAB-105-RE | Same SOIC-8 package and NdFeB magnet optimization, but configured for 10mT full-scale range and low-bandwidth (74 µs tracking delay). | Better suited for low-speed, high-precision applications (e.g., robotic joints) where noise immunity outweighs update speed. | Select when angular stability at <5,000 rpm is prioritized over dynamic response. |

FAQ
What magnetic axis configuration is implemented in MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis operation, meaning OUT1 corresponds to the X-axis magnetic field component (COS) and OUT2 to the Z-axis component (SIN). This configuration supports through-shaft and off-axis two-pole magnet placements, as confirmed by the BAB-305 option code per Melexis ordering documentation.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE support both 3.3V and 5V supply rails simultaneously?
No-MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE supports either 3.3V or 5V operation, but not both concurrently. When using VDD3V3 (pin 7), VDD5V (pin 6) must be left floating; conversely, when using VDD5V, VDD3V3 must float. This isolation prevents supply contention and is enforced in all recommended application diagrams.
What is the tracking delay of MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE and how is it determined?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE has a tracking delay of 29.5 µs, corresponding to its medium-bandwidth programming setting (3.3V supply, BAB-305 option code). This value represents the time between a rotating magnetic stimulus and the resulting change on both OUT1 and OUT2, including sample-and-hold filter latency as defined in Section 11 of the datasheet.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE be used with ferrite or SmCo magnets?
No-MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE is specifically calibrated for NdFeB (neodymium) magnets, as indicated by the "BAB" prefix in its option code. Using ferrite (BAC) or SmCo (BAA) magnets would result in significant sensitivity mismatch and degraded angular accuracy; Melexis specifies distinct option codes for each magnet type.
Is end-of-line calibration available for MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE?
Yes-end-of-line calibration is an optional factory service for MLX90380LDC-BAB-305-RE that improves total angular error to ±1° when combined with host ECU dynamic compensation. This calibration is performed after packaging and accounts for system-level mechanical tolerances, enabling higher FOC precision in production motor assemblies.
