Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® resolver IC delivering true 360° contactless angular position sensing via ratiometric sine/cosine analog outputs. 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/Y magnetic axis, and 40 mT full-scale magnetic range - enabling high-accuracy rotor position feedback in BLDC motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis configuration, real-world use cases in field-oriented control, and validated alternative options for automotive and industrial motor drive designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Y) magnetic field components using integrated vertical and planar Hall elements. Its dual analog outputs deliver synchronized sine/cosine waveforms with 1.6 samples/degree at 25,000 rpm under high-bandwidth programming.
This variant is preconfigured for X/Y magnetic axis operation (COS on OUT1, SIN on OUT2), 40 mT full-scale range, and NdFeB magnet optimization. It supports ratiometric output scaling, programmable filter bandwidth via external pins, and end-of-shaft mechanical integration - all within a single-die SOIC-8 package rated for automotive-grade thermal and EMC robustness.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Ratiometric analog sine/cosine outputs referenced to VDD; enables direct ADC interfacing without external reference voltage. |
| Refresh Rate | 4 µs per field component (8 µs total for both outputs); supports real-time position tracking up to 25,000 rpm with ≤74 µs tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V; dual-supply capability allows flexible MCU interface without level-shifting in 3.3V or 5V systems. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments without derating. |
| Magnetic Range | 40 mT full-scale (factory-programmed BAB-403 option); matches typical NdFeB magnet flux density at air gap in end-of-shaft configurations. |
| Angular Accuracy | ±1° total error with dynamic compensation; linearity error < ±0.5% over 360° when combined with MCU-based offset/gain correction. |
| Package | SOIC-8; surface-mount footprint compatible with standard reflow profiles and automotive board assembly requirements. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP uses the SOIC-8 package (JEDEC MS-012AC), with exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement. Pin assignments are fixed per datasheet revision 11 and validated for X/Y axis operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VSS | Supply Ground | Primary ground reference for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection to system GND plane. |
| 2 NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for EMC integrity and noise immunity. |
| 3 TEST | Test Pin | Factory test access; tie to GND in production for optimal EMC performance and noise suppression. |
| 4 NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for EMC integrity and noise immunity. |
| 5 OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Sine waveform output (ratiometric %VDD); used with OUT1 for arctan(OUT2/OUT1) angle calculation. |
| 6 VDD5V | 5V Supply Input | Active 5V supply rail; leave VDD3V3 floating when using this supply; supports higher SNR at elevated temperatures. |
| 7 VDD3V3 | 3.3V Supply Input | Active 3.3V supply rail; leave VDD5V floating when using this supply; reduces power consumption in low-voltage systems. |
| 8 OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Cosine waveform output (ratiometric %VDD); paired with OUT2 to resolve absolute angular position over full 360°. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal X/Y field measurement eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-sensor assemblies in end-of-shaft layouts. |
| Selectable Magnetic Axis | X/Y configuration (BAB-403) enables direct compatibility with two-pole radial magnets mounted at shaft end - no mechanical reorientation required. |
| Ratiometric Outputs | Output swing scales linearly with VDD (e.g., 50% VDD at zero field); removes dependency on stable external reference voltage for ADC conversion. |
| Programmable Bandwidth | Filter time constant adjustable via external pins to match motor speed dynamics - critical for minimizing latency in FOC loops. |
| High-Temp Operation | Guaranteed functionality at 150°C junction temperature supports placement near motor windings or inverters without heatsinking. |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Control | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor |

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-SP | Same SOIC-8 package and X/Y axis, but programmed for NdFeB magnet with 50 mT full-scale range instead of 40 mT. | Better suited for larger air gaps or lower-strength NdFeB magnets where peak flux density exceeds 40 mT. | Select when magnet geometry yields >40 mT at sensor location; requires recalibration of MCU gain scaling factor. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-403-SP | TSSOP-16 dual-die fully redundant package; identical magnetic programming (NdFeB, X/Y, 40 mT) but with duplicated signal paths. | Required for ASIL-D or SIL-3 functional safety architectures needing hardware redundancy and cross-check capability. | Choose only when system-level safety certification mandates dual-channel fault detection; adds PCB area and cost. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP, the -400 variant offers extended magnetic range for marginal flux conditions, while the TSSOP-16 -BAB-403 provides hardware redundancy at the expense of footprint and BOM complexity - neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in replaceable.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP is factory-programmed for X/Y magnetic axis operation, meaning OUT1 carries the cosine component of the X-axis field and OUT2 carries the sine component of the Y-axis field. This configuration is optimized for two-pole radial magnets in end-of-shaft mounting, with equal sensitivity on both axes and no internal gain mismatch correction applied.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP support both 3.3V and 5V supply voltages simultaneously?
No - MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP must be powered from either VDD3V3 or VDD5V, not both. When using 3.3V, VDD5V must be left floating; when using 5V, VDD3V3 must be left floating. The device automatically detects active supply and configures internal biasing accordingly, with specified performance across both rails.
What is the full-scale magnetic range of MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP and how is it determined?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP has a factory-programmed full-scale magnetic range of 40 mT, corresponding to the BAB-403 option code. This value defines the in-plane (X or Y) flux density that produces a ±40% VDD output swing with 50% VDD quiescent offset at 25°C - calibrated for NdFeB magnets in standard end-of-shaft geometries.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP be used in through-shaft configurations?
No - the X/Y magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP is intended for end-of-shaft applications with two-pole radial magnets. Through-shaft operation requires Z/Y or X/Z axis variants (e.g., BAB-423 or BAB-413) that sense axial field components; using MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP in through-shaft setups results in insufficient signal amplitude and degraded linearity.
What is the maximum rotational speed supported by MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-403-SP supports up to 25,000 rpm with high-bandwidth programming, delivering 1.6 samples per degree of rotation. At this speed, total tracking delay is 74 µs, and phase shift remains below 1.8° - verified under full-scale magnetic stimulus and nominal supply conditions per datasheet revision 11.
