Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® resolver IC delivering true 360° contactless angular position sensing via ratiometric sine/cosine analog outputs, with 4 µs output refresh rate, 3.3 V/5 V dual-supply support, and operation from −40 °C to 150 °C. It interfaces directly with rotating permanent magnets in end-of-shaft or through-shaft configurations for high-accuracy motor commutation.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device provides factory-programmed NdFeB magnet compatibility, 30 mT full-scale magnetic range, X/Y intrinsic magnetic axis, and high-bandwidth (4 µs) analog output timing-critical for field-oriented control in BLDC and PMSM drives.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Y) magnetic field components, generating synchronized COS and SIN analog outputs referenced to VDD. Its internal chopping architecture operates at 1 MHz, enabling robust noise immunity in electrically noisy motor environments.
Programmable sensitivity and filter bandwidth are set via external pin configuration-not EEPROM-supporting dynamic adaptation to magnet strength and system bandwidth requirements. The device delivers ratiometric outputs with ±0.5% linearity (VDD = 5 V, 0.5–4.5 V range) and supports both 3.3 V and 5 V supply rails without hardware modification.

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-400-RE | Same SOIC-8 package and X/Y axis, but programmed for TSSOP-16 dual-die redundancy architecture (not applicable here); BAB-400 is invalid for SOIC-8 - actual alternative is BAB-403's sibling BAB-405 (50 mT range) | Higher 50 mT full-scale range suits weaker magnetic fields or larger air gaps; requires recalibration of ADC scaling | Select BAB-405 only if magnet flux density falls below 30 mT at target air gap; retains identical pinout and timing |
| AS5055A-DSOM | 12-bit SPI-output magnetic encoder IC; no analog sine/cosine outputs; 3.3 V only; −40 °C to 125 °C rating | Digital interface eliminates ADC dependency but adds MCU firmware overhead for angle computation; lower temp rating limits under-hood use | Choose AS5055A-DSOM for cost-sensitive, non-automotive applications where digital interface and smaller footprint outweigh analog timing advantages |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE, BAB-405 offers extended magnetic range at identical form factor and timing, while AS5055A-DSOM trades analog speed and temperature resilience for digital simplicity and reduced BOM count in less demanding environments.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE is factory-programmed for X/Y intrinsic magnetic axis configuration, meaning it measures orthogonal magnetic field components along the X and Y axes with equal sensitivity. This supports end-of-shaft two-pole magnet mounting and is confirmed by the "BAB-403" option code, where "x0x" denotes X/Y axis selection per Melexis ordering guide.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply rails simultaneously?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE does not support simultaneous 3.3 V and 5 V operation. It operates on either VDD3V3 (3.135–3.6 V) or VDD5V (4.5–5.5 V), but not both concurrently. When using VDD5V, the VDD3V3 pin must be left floating; when using VDD3V3, VDD5V must be left floating, as specified in Section 9.1 of the datasheet.
What is the full-scale magnetic range of MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE and how is it determined?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE has a factory-programmed full-scale magnetic range of 30 mT, indicated by the "403" suffix in its option code (where "xx3" = 30 mT range). This range is calibrated for NdFeB magnets and defines the in-plane flux density that produces ±40% VDD output swing at 25 °C, ensuring optimal signal-to-noise ratio and ADC utilization.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE be used in automotive power steering systems?
Yes, MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE is qualified for automotive power steering applications. Its −40 °C to 150 °C operating temperature range, AEC-Q100-aligned stress testing (including 2 kV HBM ESD), ratiometric analog outputs, and X/Y axis configuration meet key requirements for column-mounted EPS sensors where vibration, temperature cycling, and EMI immunity are critical.
How is the 4 µs output refresh rate achieved in MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE?
The 4 µs output refresh rate in MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-RE results from its high-speed sequential sampling architecture: each magnetic field component (X and Y) is measured in 2 µs, producing synchronized COS and SIN outputs every 4 µs. This timing is fixed for high-bandwidth programming mode (indicated by "4xx" in option code) and enables real-time angular tracking up to 25,000 rpm.
