Product details
Overview
MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic 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 NdFeB magnet compatibility with X/Z magnetic axis and high-bandwidth (5V) operation.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device serves as a high-accuracy, automotive-grade angular position transducer requiring precise magnetic axis alignment, ratiometric ADC interfacing, and dynamic error compensation in field-oriented control loops.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology to simultaneously sense orthogonal (X/Z) magnetic field components using dual on-die Hall elements and integrated signal conditioning. Its functional diagram confirms independent COS (OUT1) and SIN (OUT2) analog outputs derived from flux density measurements along two defined axes, with internal chopping at 1 MHz enabling robust noise immunity.
This TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant variant delivers fully independent outputs per die (A and B), supporting safety-critical applications via cross-checking. The X/Z axis configuration enables through-shaft mounting with sensitivity mismatch correction, and high-bandwidth programming (BAx-5xx code) sets tracking delay to 17.5 µs and enables 25,000 rpm operation with ≤1° total angular error after dynamic compensation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Type | Dual ratiometric analog: OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN, each 5–95% VDD swing |
| Refresh Rate | 4 µs update period - enables real-time angle computation at >200 kHz sampling rates |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V nominal (VDD5V_A/B), with POR threshold 2.4–3.9 V - supports direct MCU 5V rail connection |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Magnetic Range | 40 mT full-scale (BAB-100 option) - optimized for NdFeB magnets in end-of-shaft or through-shaft configurations |
| Angular Accuracy | ≤ ±1° total error with dynamic compensation - requires external arctan processing and gain/offset correction |
| Bandwidth Mode | High bandwidth (BAx-5xx) - sets filter time constant for 17.5 µs tracking delay at 25,000 rpm |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with dual-die redundancy: Die A (pins 13–16, 14–15) and Die B (pins 5–8, 6–7) provide fully independent ground, supply, test, and analog output terminals. Unused pins (2,3,10,12) must be connected to VSS for EMC compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VSS_A / VSS_B | Separate ground returns per die - mandatory for noise isolation and fault detection |
| 5, 13 | OUT2_B / OUT2_A | SIN analog outputs - ratiometric, 5–95% VDD, require 10 kΩ min load resistance |
| 8, 16 | OUT1_B / OUT1_A | COS analog outputs - paired with OUT2 for arctan(OUT2/OUT1) angle calculation |
| 6, 14 | VDD5V_B / VDD5V_A | 5V supply inputs - must be decoupled with 100 nF ceramic capacitor per die |
| 7, 15 | VDD3V3_B / VDD3V3_A | 3.3V supply inputs - left floating in 5V-mode operation per datasheet requirement |
| 4, 11 | TEST_A / TEST_B | Factory test pins - connect to VSS for optimal EMC; not user-accessible in normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (X/Z) field measurement eliminates need for external flux concentrators or multi-sensor assemblies |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar rotary position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90380LGO-BAA-100-RE | SmCo magnet optimization (BAA vs BAB), identical X/Z axis and high-bandwidth mode | Requires samarium-cobalt magnet assembly; higher cost but superior high-temp stability above 120°C | Select when operating >130°C ambient or using SmCo magnets; otherwise BAB-100 offers better cost/performance for NdFeB systems. |

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP?
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 measures the Z-axis magnetic component and OUT2 measures the X-axis component. This orientation supports through-shaft magnet arrangements and is confirmed by the 'BAB' option code's third digit '1' per Table 2 in the datasheet.
Does MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP support both 3.3V and 5V supply simultaneously?
No - MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP must operate exclusively from either 3.3V or 5V supply. For 5V operation (as specified by its BAx-5xx high-bandwidth code), the VDD3V3_A and VDD3V3_B pins must be left floating per datasheet Section 9.2 and Figure 13, while VDD5V_A and VDD5V_B are powered from a clean 5V rail.
How is redundancy implemented in MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP?
MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP uses a dual-die TSSOP-16 package with fully independent signal chains: Die A (pins 13–16, 14–15) and Die B (pins 5–8, 6–7) each have separate VSS, VDD5V, VDD3V3, TEST, OUT1, and OUT2 terminals. This physical separation enables hardware-level cross-checking for functional safety compliance.
What magnet type is MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP calibrated for?
MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP is calibrated for neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, as indicated by the 'BAB' prefix in its order code. This includes factory-programmed sensitivity, temperature coefficient (1100 ppm/°C), and offset drift characteristics optimized specifically for NdFeB magnetic material behavior across -40°C to 150°C.
Can MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP be used without external microcontroller compensation?
No - MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-SP requires external signal processing to achieve its specified ≤±1° angular accuracy. The device outputs raw COS/SIN voltages that must undergo offset, gain, and phase correction in the host MCU before arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation; static or dynamic compensation algorithms are mandatory per Section 12.2.2 of the datasheet.
