Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAB-504-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs with 4 µs output refresh rate, ±40%VDD swing, and ratiometric operation across 3.3 V or 5 V supply. It supports NdFeB magnets, X/Y magnetic axis configuration, and 50 mT full-scale magnetic range for high-accuracy angular sensing in end-of-shaft motor feedback systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAB-504-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, real-world motor control use cases, and two validated alternative parts with documented functional and application differences.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAB-504-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 (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are generated via on-chip signal conditioning including programmable gain, sample-and-hold filtering, and ratiometric scaling relative to VDD.
This variant is factory-programmed for NdFeB magnet compatibility (BAB), X/Y axis orientation (5xx → x0x), 50 mT full-scale range (BAB-5xx → xx4), and high-bandwidth operation (5xx → x5x). It operates from -40°C to 150°C with 6 mA typical supply current and supports dynamic angular error compensation via external MCU-based arctan(OUT2/OUT1) processing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time rotor angle tracking up to 25,000 RPM with <74 µs total tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 50 mT - Optimized for NdFeB magnets in end-of-shaft configurations; yields ±40%VDD output swing at TA = 25°C. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - Dual-rail support allows direct interface with 3.3 V or 5 V MCUs without level shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5% - Measured over 0.5–4.5 V output range at 5 V supply; enables <1° total angular error after dynamic compensation. |
| Sensitivity Temperature Coefficient | 1100 ppm/°C - Factory-trimmed for NdFeB magnets to counteract flux density drift over temperature. |
| Output Offset Drift | ±1.5%VDD - Specified over full temperature range; stable baseline for offset correction in ECU firmware. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAB-504-SP is housed in an 8-pin SOIC-8 package (JEDEC MS-012AC) with 1.27 mm pitch, 5.0 mm × 4.0 mm body, and exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pins 2 and 4 are NC and must be tied to GND for optimal EMC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | VSS | Supply ground reference for all internal circuitry and analog outputs; requires low-impedance connection to system GND plane. |
| 2 | NC | No connect - must be soldered to GND to reduce EMI susceptibility and improve noise immunity. |
| 3 | TEST | Factory test pin - tied to GND in production; left floating or grounded per application diagram for EMC compliance. |
| 4 | NC | No connect - must be soldered to GND to minimize parasitic coupling and ensure stable biasing. |
| 5 | OUT2 | Analog SIN output - ratiometric voltage proportional to BY field component; drives ADC input directly. |
| 6 | VDD5V | 5 V supply rail - active only when operating in 5 V mode; VDD3V3 must remain floating in this configuration. |
| 7 | VDD3V3 | 3.3 V supply rail - active only when operating in 3.3 V mode; VDD5V must remain floating in this configuration. |
| 8 | OUT1 | Analog COS output - ratiometric voltage proportional to BX field component; paired with OUT2 for arctan computation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal X/Y field measurement eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-die assemblies. |
| Programmable Magnetic Axis | X/Y configuration (BAB-504) enables precise alignment with end-of-shaft permanent magnet topologies. |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | OUT1/OUT2 scale linearly with VDD, removing sensitivity to supply ripple and simplifying ADC reference design. |
| High-Speed Output Update | 4 µs refresh rate supports closed-loop FOC in high-RPM BLDC and PMSM motors without interpolation latency. |
| Factory Calibration | Pre-programmed for 50 mT range and NdFeB temperature coefficient - reduces system-level calibration effort. |

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-BAA-504-SP | Uses SmCo magnet instead of NdFeB; TCS = 350 ppm/°C vs. 1100 ppm/°C; identical pinout and bandwidth. | Optimized for high-temperature stability in aerospace or turbine applications where SmCo's lower TC is critical. | Select BAA-504 only if magnet material and thermal drift profile match system-level flux modeling - not a drop-in replacement for NdFeB designs. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-504-SP | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with fully redundant signal paths; same magnetic specs but doubled supply pins and separate die grounds. | Required for ASIL-D or SIL-3 functional safety architectures needing hardware redundancy and fault detection. | Choose LGO-BAB-504 when ISO 26262 ASIL-D compliance is mandatory; SOIC-8 version lacks structural redundancy for safety-critical path validation. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAB-504-SP, the BAA-504 variant trades NdFeB sensitivity for superior thermal stability with SmCo, while the LGO-BAB-504 adds physical redundancy at the cost of larger footprint and higher BOM count - neither is pin-compatible nor functionally interchangeable without board and firmware revalidation.
