Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-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, 3.3 V/5 V dual-supply support, -40°C to 150°C operating range, and factory-programmed ferrite-magnet sensitivity (60 mT full-scale) for end-of-shaft or through-shaft motor rotor position feedback in BLDC and PMSM systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SOIC-8 package mapping, magnetic axis configuration (X/Z), bandwidth selection (high BW), and real-world design implications for automotive-grade field-oriented control and industrial motor commissioning.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Z) magnetic field components using on-die integrated Hall elements and signal conditioning circuitry. Its dual analog outputs deliver synchronized COS and SIN signals referenced to VDD, enabling high-fidelity arctangent-based angle computation in external MCUs.
This variant uses ferrite magnets (BAC prefix), operates at high bandwidth (suffix '125' = 3.3 V supply + high BW), and supports X/Z magnetic axis configuration-optimized for off-axis two-pole magnet placement in through-shaft applications where Z-axis flux dominates and X-axis sensitivity is matched per datasheet Figure 7.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - enables real-time position tracking up to 25,000 rpm with <74 µs total tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 60 mT - factory-programmed sensitivity (BAC-125) for ferrite magnets, yielding ±40%VDD output swing at TA = 25°C. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V only ('125' suffix = 3.3 V + high BW) - VDD3V3 active; VDD5V must be left floating per datasheet Section 9.1. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to 150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments without derating. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - OUT1 = COS(X), OUT2 = SIN(Z); supports through-shaft configurations with Z-axis dominant flux per Figure 7. |
| Output Type | Ratiometric sine/cosine analog - output voltage scales linearly with VDD, simplifying ADC reference alignment in MCU systems. |
| Linearity Error | ±0.5% - specified over 0.5–4.5 V output range at 5 V supply; ensures sub-degree angular error before dynamic compensation. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP is housed in an RoHS-compliant SOIC-8 package (8-pin, 3.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 1.27 mm pitch), with exposed pad optional for thermal enhancement per Melexis Package Drawing 14.1–14.3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 VSS | Supply Ground | Primary ground reference for analog and digital blocks; must be low-impedance connection to system GND. |
| 2 NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for EMC compliance per datasheet Section 9.1. |
| 3 TEST | Test Pin | Factory test access; tie to GND for optimal EMC performance in production systems. |
| 4 NC | Not Connected | No internal connection; recommended to tie to GND for EMC compliance. |
| 5 OUT2 | Analog Output SIN | Sine output for Z-axis field component; ratiometric to VDD3V3, 0–100%VDD swing, 25 Ω output impedance. |
| 6 VDD5V | 5 V Supply Input | Must remain floating when using 3.3 V operation ('125' variant); not powered in this configuration. |
| 7 VDD3V3 | 3.3 V Supply Input | Active supply rail; requires 100 nF decoupling capacitor per Figure 12; powers all internal circuitry. |
| 8 OUT1 | Analog Output COS | Cosine output for X-axis field component; ratiometric to VDD3V3, matches OUT2 timing and noise profile. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Selectable Magnetic Axis (X/Z) | Enables mechanical flexibility for through-shaft motor designs where Z-axis flux dominates and X-Z sensitivity matching is required per Figure 7. |
| Ferrite Magnet Optimization (BAC) | Factory-programmed sensitivity and temperature coefficient (TCS ≈ 2000 ppm/°C) tailored for cost-effective ferrite magnets across -40°C to 150°C. |
| High-Bandwidth Mode ('125') | Configures internal filter for 125 kHz Nyquist frequency and 4 µs update period - critical for fast-accelerating BLDC motors. |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | Eliminates need for separate precision voltage reference; SIN/COS outputs scale directly with VDD3V3, simplifying ADC interface design. |
| Programmable via Connector | Allows post-manufacture calibration and parameter tuning (e.g., offset, gain) using standard I²C-compatible programming interface. |
Applications
| Brushless DC Motor Rotor Position | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Control |

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP is configured for X/Z magnetic axis operation, meaning OUT1 carries the cosine of the X-axis field component and OUT2 carries the sine of the Z-axis field component. This configuration is validated for through-shaft applications with two-pole ferrite magnets, as defined in option code 'BAC-125' and illustrated in Figure 7 of the datasheet. The IC maintains matched sensitivity between axes unless mismatched variants are selected.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply voltages?
No - the '125' suffix in MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP explicitly denotes 3.3 V operation with high bandwidth. Only VDD3V3 (pin 7) must be powered; VDD5V (pin 6) must remain floating per datasheet Section 9.1 and Figure 12. Attempting to apply 5 V to VDD5V while operating at 3.3 V risks violating absolute maximum ratings and invalidating the high-BW timing specification.
What is the full-scale magnetic range programmed in MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP is factory-programmed for a 60 mT full-scale magnetic range (option code 'xx5' per Table 2), optimized for ferrite magnets. At TA = 25°C and VDD = 3.3 V, this yields a ±40%VDD output swing (i.e., 0.65 V to 2.65 V) with VOQ = 50%VDD, enabling maximal ADC utilization without external amplification.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP be used in ASIL-D automotive systems?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP itself is not ASIL-D certified due to its single-die SOIC-8 architecture. For ASIL-D applications, Melexis specifies the TSSOP-16 dual-die variant MLX90380LGO-BAC-125-RE, which provides hardware redundancy and diagnostic coverage. The MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP is qualified for ASIL-B and meets AEC-Q100 Grade 0 requirements for -40°C to 150°C operation.
How is the high-bandwidth mode enabled in MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP?
High-bandwidth mode is factory-programmed into MLX90380LDC-BAC-125-SP via the '125' option code (3.3 V + high BW). It configures the internal sample-and-hold filter for n = 1 in the equation Bandwidth = 1/(2πnTS), achieving 4 µs output update period and 125 kHz Nyquist frequency. No external configuration or register writes are needed - the behavior is fixed at manufacture.
