Product details
Overview
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP from Melexis is a monolithic Triaxis® contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs for resolver replacement in motor control systems. It operates from 3.3V or 5V supply, supports -40°C to 150°C ambient, features 4µs output refresh rate, and is factory-programmed for ferrite magnets with 50mT full-scale magnetic range and X/Z magnetic axis configuration.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SOIC-8 package details, magnetic axis selection, ratiometric output behavior, and automotive-grade angular accuracy specifications required for BLDC and PMSM field-oriented control design.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Z) magnetic field components using integrated vertical and planar Hall elements. Its dual analog outputs deliver ratiometric sine/cosine signals referenced to VDD, with programmable sensitivity and filter bandwidth via external pins.
This variant uses ferrite magnets (BAC prefix), is configured for X/Z magnetic axis (5xx suffix), and supports high-bandwidth operation (5xx = 3.3V + high BW). The internal architecture includes on-chip chopping, sample-and-hold filtering, and EEPROM-based calibration for offset and gain compensation.
Key Specifications

| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 50 mT - Factory-programmed for ferrite magnets; defines ±40%VDD output swing at TA = 25°C with VOQ = 50%VDD. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V or 5 V - Dual-supply capability; VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins allow flexible MCU interface without level-shifting. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - OUT1 = COS(X), OUT2 = SIN(Z); supports through-shaft configurations with two-pole off-axis magnets. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5% - Measured over 360° at VDD = 5 V within 0.5–4.5 V output range; enables <1° total angular error after dynamic compensation. |
| Sensitivity Tempco | 2000 ppm/°C - Target coefficient for ferrite magnets; compensates for magnet flux decay over temperature. |

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-SP | Uses NdFeB magnet (BAB) instead of ferrite (BAC); higher sensitivity (2.66%VDD/mT vs. 1.33%VDD/mT) and lower TCS (1100 ppm/°C vs. 2000 ppm/°C). | Better suited for high-precision, low-noise applications where NdFeB magnet cost and thermal stability are acceptable trade-offs. | Select BAB-524 for tighter angular accuracy (<0.5°) in controlled-temperature environments; BAC-524 preferred for cost-sensitive, high-temp ferrite-based systems. |
| MLX90380LGO-BAC-524-SP | Dual-die TSSOP-16 package with fully redundant signal paths; identical magnetic specs but doubled pin count and larger footprint. | Required for ASIL-D functional safety compliance (ISO 26262) where hardware redundancy is mandated for fault detection. | Choose LGO-BAC-524 only when safety-critical redundancy is required; LDC-BAC-524 satisfies ASIL-B and non-safety industrial applications with smaller PCB area. |

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP?
The MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 carries the cosine of the X-axis field component and OUT2 carries the sine of the Z-axis field component. This supports through-shaft mounting with off-axis two-pole magnets and is confirmed by the '5' in the third digit of the option code '524' per Table 2 of the datasheet.
Which magnet type is MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP optimized for?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP is optimized for ferrite magnets, as indicated by the 'BAC' prefix in its part number. The 'C' denotes ferrite, and its sensitivity temperature coefficient (2000 ppm/°C) is specifically targeted to compensate for the thermal flux decay characteristics of ferrite materials across -40°C to 150°C.
What supply voltage should be used with MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP supports both 3.3 V and 5 V operation. The '5' in the second digit of option code '524' indicates high-bandwidth mode with 3.3 V supply (per Table 2: BAx-5xx = 3.3V + high BW). Therefore, VDD3V3 must be powered at 3.3 V, and VDD5V must remain floating during normal operation.
Does MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP require external programming after soldering?
No, MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP is delivered pre-programmed with X/Z axis, 50 mT full-scale range, ferrite magnet optimization, and high-bandwidth filter settings. Programming through the connector is optional and only needed for post-production calibration or reconfiguration - not required for standard deployment.
What is the angular accuracy of MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP in a typical motor control application?
MLX90380LDC-BAC-524-SP achieves ≤1° total angular error after dynamic compensation (e.g., offset/gain correction in the host MCU), with ±0.5% output linearity at 5 V supply. At 25,000 rpm and high-bandwidth mode, tracking delay is 12 µs, enabling sub-degree real-time position fidelity in FOC loops.
