Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP 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, -40°C to 150°C operating temperature, and programmable X/Y magnetic axis for end-of-shaft configurations using ferrite magnets.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a high-accuracy, automotive-grade rotary position sensor in BLDC motor control, field-oriented control, and industrial actuation systems requiring robust thermal stability and magnetic axis flexibility.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Y) and parallel (Z) magnetic field components on a single die. Its dual analog outputs deliver synchronized sine/cosine waveforms directly proportional to magnetic angle, with factory-programmed sensitivity for 40 mT full-scale range and ferrite magnet compatibility.
It supports both 3.3 V and 5 V supply operation, features internal chopping at 1 MHz, and enables dynamic compensation of angular error through external MCU-based arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation with offset/gain correction - critical for achieving ≤±1° total angular error in closed-loop motor drives.

| Magnetic Axis | X/Y - Configured for end-of-shaft mounting with equal sensitivity on orthogonal in-plane axes. |
| Total Angular Error | ≤±1° with dynamic compensation - Achievable via external ECU correction of offset, gain, and phase prior to arctan calculation. |
| Output Type | Ratiometric sine/cosine analog - Output voltages scale linearly with VDD, eliminating supply variation impact on angle accuracy. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP is housed in an SOIC-8 package with exposed pad (RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC). Pin assignments are optimized for EMC: unused pins (NC) and TEST must be tied to ground per datasheet guidance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VSS | Supply Ground | Main ground reference for analog and digital sections; requires low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane. |
| 2 NC | Not Connected | Internally unconnected; must be externally tied to GND for optimal EMC performance. |
| 3 TEST | Test Pin | Factory test access; tied to GND in production to suppress noise and improve immunity. |
| 4 NC | Not Connected | Internally unconnected; must be externally tied to GND for optimal EMC performance. |
| 5 OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Sine waveform output referenced to VDD; ratiometric, 0–100% VDD swing, ±40% VDD full scale. |
| 6 VDD5V | 5 V Supply Input | Active 5 V rail; when used, VDD3V3 must remain floating per application diagram requirements. |
| 7 VDD3V3 | 3.3 V Supply Input | Active 3.3 V rail; when used, VDD5V must remain floating per application diagram requirements. |
| 8 OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Cosine waveform output referenced to VDD; ratiometric, 0–100% VDD swing, ±40% VDD full scale. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Single-die simultaneous measurement of orthogonal (X/Y) magnetic field components enables compact end-of-shaft placement without mechanical alignment constraints. |

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-000-SP | Uses SmCo magnet instead of ferrite; higher sensitivity temperature coefficient (350 ppm/°C vs. 2000 ppm/°C) and tighter 10 mT–40 mT usable range. | Better suited for high-precision, narrow-temperature-range applications where magnet cost is secondary to thermal stability. | Select BAA only if SmCo magnet integration is feasible and system-level calibration can accommodate lower TCS drift. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAC-000-SP | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with fully redundant signal paths; identical magnetic specs but separate VDD/VSS per die and doubled pin count. | Required for ASIL-D functional safety architectures needing hardware redundancy and failure mode analysis per ISO 26262. | Choose LGO-BAC only when architectural redundancy is mandated - not a drop-in replacement due to package, pinout, and layout changes. |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP, the BAA variant trades ferrite cost advantage for superior SmCo thermal tracking, while the LGO-BAC variant adds physical redundancy at the expense of board space and routing complexity - neither offers pin compatibility, making them distinct design choices rather than direct substitutes.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP is factory-programmed for X/Y magnetic axis configuration, meaning it measures orthogonal in-plane magnetic field components (BX and BY) with equal sensitivity - optimized for end-of-shaft mounting with ferrite magnets. This is confirmed by the BAC-000 option code per Melexis ordering documentation.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply rails simultaneously?
No. MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP supports either 3.3 V or 5 V operation, but not both concurrently. When using VDD3V3, the VDD5V pin must be left floating; when using VDD5V, the VDD3V3 pin must be left floating - as specified in Section 13.1 of the datasheet and reinforced in pin description Table 4.
What is the full-scale magnetic range programmed in MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP is programmed for a 40 mT full-scale magnetic range, corresponding to the "xx0" suffix in the BAC-000 option code. This setting produces ±40% VDD output swing at TA = 25°C with VOQ = 50% VDD, as defined in Table 2 of the datasheet.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP be used in ASIL-B or ASIL-D systems?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP is AEC-Q100 qualified and supports ASIL-B via diagnostics (e.g., output amplitude monitoring), but does not provide hardware redundancy. For ASIL-D, Melexis recommends the dual-die MLX90380LGO-BAC-000-SP variant, which implements physically independent signal paths per ISO 26262 requirements.
How is angular accuracy achieved with MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP in motor control?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-000-SP achieves ≤±1° total angular error through dynamic compensation: the MCU applies offset, gain, and phase correction to OUT1/OUT2 before computing arctan(OUT2/OUT1). This method corrects for sensor nonlinearity, magnet eccentricity, and thermal drift - as detailed in Section 12.2.2 and Application Note AN-1021.
