Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs for absolute angular measurement. It operates with 3.3V or 5V supply, supports -40°C to 150°C ambient, features 4µs output refresh rate, and is factory-programmed for Ferrite magnet use, X/Z magnetic axis configuration, and 50mT full-scale magnetic range.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis behavior, ratiometric output design implications, and validated alternatives for motor control and industrial position sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Z) magnetic field components using integrated vertical and planar Hall elements. Its dual analog outputs (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are ratiometric to VDD and calibrated for 50mT full-scale range with Ferrite magnets.
This variant uses X/Z magnetic axis configuration-OUT1 responds to BX, OUT2 to BZ-enabling through-shaft operation with two-pole off-axis magnets. Sensitivity is fixed at 1.33%VDD/mT (≈66.5mV/mT at 5V), and internal sample-and-hold filtering is set to high bandwidth mode (tracking delay: 12µs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Dual ratiometric analog: OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN, both referenced to VDD |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 50 mT - defines ±40%VDD output swing at TA=25°C; matched to Ferrite magnets in X/Z axis |
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - each field component sampled sequentially; enables >25,000 rpm angular tracking |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - dual-rail support; VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins must be used separately |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor environments |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - OUT1 proportional to BX, OUT2 proportional to BZ; supports through-shaft configurations |
| Sensitivity | 1.33 %VDD/mT - yields ~66.5 mV/mT at 5V; factory-set for Ferrite magnet temperature coefficient compensation |
Pinout & Package
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE is housed in an 8-pin SOIC-8 package (JEDEC MS-012AC) with exposed pad for thermal enhancement. Pin 2 and Pin 4 are NC and must be connected to GND for optimal EMC performance. The TEST pin (Pin 3) is functional for programming and diagnostics.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (VSS) | Supply Ground | Primary ground reference for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance connection |
| 2 (NC) | Not Connected | No internal connection; tie to GND per EMC recommendation |
| 3 (TEST) | Programming & Diagnostic Interface | Enables EEPROM configuration and factory calibration via voltage-level protocol; requires external pull-down |
| 4 (NC) | Not Connected | No internal connection; tie to GND per EMC recommendation |
| 5 (OUT2) | Analog Output SIN | Ratiometric voltage proportional to BZ; 0–100%VDD range with ±40%VDD swing at full scale |
| 6 (VDD5V) | 5V Supply Input | Power rail for 4.5–5.5 V operation; VDD3V3 must remain floating when VDD5V is active |
| 7 (VDD3V3) | 3.3V Supply Input | Power rail for 3.135–3.6 V operation; VDD5V must remain floating when VDD3V3 is active |
| 8 (OUT1) | Analog Output COS | Ratiometric voltage proportional to BX; synchronized with OUT2 for arctan(OUT2/OUT1) angle computation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Architecture | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field sensing eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-die assemblies |
| Programmable Magnetic Axis | X/Z configuration enables mechanical flexibility for through-shaft mounting with off-axis two-pole magnets |
| Ferrite Magnet Optimization | BAC option code configures sensitivity and TCS for stable performance with low-cost Ferrite magnets across -40°C to 150°C |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | OUT1/OUT2 scaling relative to VDD reduces system-level error from supply ripple and ADC reference drift |
| High-Speed Output Update | 4 µs update period supports real-time field-oriented control (FOC) loops at up to 25,000 rpm rotor speed |
Applications
| Brushless Motor Rotor Position | Electric Power Steering (EPS) |

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-524-RE | Same SOIC-8 package and 50mT range, but optimized for NdFeB magnets (higher sensitivity tempco: 1100 ppm/°C vs. 2000 ppm/°C) | Requires NdFeB magnet assembly; less suitable for cost-sensitive designs using Ferrite | Select when higher magnetic field stability over temperature is needed with NdFeB magnets |
| MLX90380LGO-BAC-524-RE | TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant architecture; identical magnetic specs but separate die A/B outputs and doubled pin count | Targeted at ASIL-D or fail-operational systems requiring hardware redundancy; not drop-in compatible | Choose only when functional safety mandates dual-channel independent sensing paths |
Compared with MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE, the BAB-524 variant trades Ferrite cost advantage for NdFeB thermal stability, while the LGO-BAC-524 provides hardware redundancy at the expense of PCB area and layout complexity-neither is pin-compatible, and both require revalidation of magnetic coupling and signal chain.

FAQ
What magnetic magnet type is MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE optimized for?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE is factory-programmed for Ferrite magnets, as indicated by the "BAC" option code. Its sensitivity temperature coefficient (2000 ppm/°C) and 50mT full-scale range are calibrated to compensate for Ferrite's magnetic field degradation over temperature, ensuring stable angular accuracy from -40°C to 150°C.
Can MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE operate from both 3.3V and 5V supplies simultaneously?
No. MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE must be powered from either VDD3V3 (3.135–3.6 V) or VDD5V (4.5–5.5 V), not both. When using VDD5V, the VDD3V3 pin must be left floating; when using VDD3V3, VDD5V must be floating. This prevents internal supply contention and ensures correct biasing of the analog front-end.
What does the "524" in MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE signify?
The "524" suffix encodes three configuration parameters: "5" selects high bandwidth mode (12 µs tracking delay), "2" sets X/Z magnetic axis, and "4" configures 50mT full-scale magnetic range. This matches the datasheet's option code decoding table and confirms the device's factory-programmed behavior for Ferrite magnet use.
Is MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90380 variants in SOIC-8?
Yes-MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE shares identical SOIC-8 pinout and electrical interface with all other SOIC-8 MLX90380 variants (e.g., BAA, BAB). Differences are purely functional (magnet type, axis, range, bandwidth) and programmed into on-chip EEPROM; no PCB change is required for substitution within the same package.
How is angular position calculated from MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE outputs?
Angular position is computed externally using arctangent: α = atan2(OUT2, OUT1), where OUT1 is the COS output (BX) and OUT2 is the SIN output (BZ). The MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-RE delivers ratiometric analog voltages, so the MCU's ADC reference should match VDD to preserve ratio integrity during angle calculation.
