Product details
Overview
MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic contactless rotary position sensor IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs with 4 µs output refresh rate, 3.3 V/5 V dual-supply support, and operation from −40 °C to +150 °C. It uses NdFeB magnet compatibility (BAB), X/Z magnetic axis configuration (12x), and high-bandwidth programming (x25) for end-of-shaft or through-shaft motor position sensing in automotive EPS and industrial servo drives.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant resolver IC provides ratiometric analog outputs, programmable sensitivity (60 mT full-scale range), and dynamic angular error compensation down to ±1° - critical for field-oriented control in BLDC and PMSM systems requiring functional safety compliance.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology with orthogonal and in-plane magnetic field sensing, enabling simultaneous measurement of two orthogonal flux components (e.g., BX and BZ) to generate precise sine/cosine waveforms. Its dual-die TSSOP-16 architecture supports full redundancy for ASIL-D–capable systems.
Programmable via four application pins, it supports selectable magnetic axes (X/Z), sensitivity ranges (10–70 mT), and filter bandwidths (low/medium/high). The x25 option code confirms high-bandwidth mode (125 kHz Nyquist frequency, 12 µs tracking delay), optimized for >25,000 rpm rotor speeds and real-time angle computation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - enables 250 kSPS sampling for high-speed motor commutation |
| Operating Supply Voltage | 3.3 V or 5 V - dual-rail support allows direct interface with 3.3 V MCU ADCs or 5 V industrial controllers |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 60 mT - factory-programmed (BAB-125) for NdFeB magnets, matching typical surface-mounted rotor fields |
| Angular Accuracy (Dynamic) | ±1° - achieved with off-chip offset/gain/phase correction applied before arctan(OUT2/OUT1) |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Nyquist Frequency | 125 kHz - supports accurate position capture at up to 25,000 rpm with 1.6 samples/degree resolution |
| Package | TSSOP-16 - dual-die fully redundant layout meets ISO 26262 hardware fault tolerance requirements |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with exposed thermal pad; dual-die structure provides independent signal paths for Die A and Die B, supporting functional safety architectures requiring redundancy.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VSS_A / VSS_B | Separate ground returns per die - enables independent noise rejection and fault isolation |
| 5, 13 | OUT2_B / OUT2_A | Sine analog outputs - ratiometric to respective VDD rail, used for arctan-based angle calculation |
| 8, 16 | OUT1_B / OUT1_A | Cosine analog outputs - paired with OUT2 for quadrature position decoding |
| 6, 14 | VDD5V_B / VDD5V_A | 5 V supply inputs - used when operating in 5 V mode; VDD3V3 pins must be left floating |
| 7, 15 | VDD3V3_B / VDD3V3_A | 3.3 V supply inputs - used when operating in 3.3 V mode; VDD5V pins must be left floating |
| 4, 11 | TEST_A / TEST_B | Factory test pins - connected to GND for optimal EMC; not user-accessible in normal operation |
| 2, 3, 10, 12 | NC | No-connect pins - internally unused; recommended to tie to GND for EMI suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (BZ) and in-plane (BX) field detection enables robust X/Z-axis operation without mechanical alignment constraints |
| Ratiometric Analog Outputs | OUT1/OUT2 scale linearly with VDD - eliminates need for precision voltage references in MCU ADC front-end design |
| Programmable Bandwidth | High-bandwidth mode (x25) delivers 12 µs tracking delay - essential for fast-accelerating motors and real-time torque control loops |
| Dual-Die Redundancy | Independent Die A and Die B in single TSSOP-16 package - supports cross-checking and fault detection per ISO 26262 ASIL D decomposition |
| End-of-Shaft / Through-Shaft Flexibility | X/Z magnetic axis selection (BAB-12x) accommodates both on-axis and off-axis magnet placements in compact motor assemblies |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-RE | Same TSSOP-16 package and NdFeB magnet support, but medium-bandwidth (x10) mode - 29.5 µs tracking delay, 62.5 kHz Nyquist | Lower update rate limits use in >15,000 rpm applications; suitable for cost-sensitive EPS variants with relaxed loop timing | Select when system bandwidth requirement is ≤62.5 kHz and ASIL-D redundancy remains mandatory |
| MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE | SOIC-8 single-die variant with identical BAB-125 option (60 mT, X/Z, high BW), but no hardware redundancy | Lacks dual-die fault tolerance - limited to ASIL-B systems or non-safety-critical industrial encoders | Choose for space-constrained PCB layouts where redundancy is not required and TSSOP-16 footprint is prohibitive |
Compared with MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-RE, the -100-RE trades bandwidth for lower latency jitter in medium-speed systems, while the SOIC-8 -125-RE retains identical magnetic performance but removes hardware-level fault coverage - making the TSSOP-16 dual-die version uniquely suited for ASIL-D motor control where both accuracy and redundancy are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What does the "125" in MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP signify?
The "125" in MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP is the option code specifying three key factory-programmed attributes: (1) NdFeB magnet compatibility (BAB), (2) X/Z magnetic axis configuration (12x), and (3) high-bandwidth mode (x25), which sets the Nyquist frequency to 125 kHz and tracking delay to 12 µs. This configuration is validated in the MLX90380 datasheet Revision 11 for TSSOP-16 packaging and ensures optimal performance with neodymium magnets in high-speed motor applications.
How does MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP achieve ±1° dynamic angular accuracy?
MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP achieves ±1° dynamic angular accuracy through on-chip high-speed sine/cosine generation combined with off-chip dynamic compensation algorithms - specifically offset, gain, and phase correction applied to OUT1 and OUT2 prior to arctan(OUT2/OUT1) computation. This correction compensates for magnetic system non-idealities (e.g., magnet eccentricity) and temperature-induced drift, as confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet under "Total Angular Error with Dynamic Compensation."
Can MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP operate with both 3.3 V and 5 V supplies simultaneously?
No - MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP must be operated with either 3.3 V or 5 V, not both simultaneously. When using 3.3 V, VDD3V3_A/B pins are powered and VDD5V_A/B must be left floating; when using 5 V, VDD5V_A/B are powered and VDD3V3_A/B must be left floating. This requirement is explicitly stated in Section 9.2 of the datasheet and enforced by internal power-on reset thresholds (VPOR_H/V_POR_L).
What is the purpose of the dual-die architecture in MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP?
The dual-die architecture in MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP provides hardware-level redundancy: Die A and Die B operate independently with separate power, ground, and analog output pins (OUT1_A/OUT2_A and OUT1_B/OUT2_B). This enables cross-comparison, fault detection, and fail-safe behavior required for ISO 26262 ASIL-D systems - a capability absent in single-die SOIC-8 variants like MLX90380LDC-BAB-125-RE.
Is MLX90380LGO-BAB-125-SP pin-compatible with other MLX90380 variants in TSSOP-16?
Yes - all MLX90380 devices in TSSOP-16 (e.g., LGO-BAA-xxx, LGO-BAB-xxx, LGO-BAC-xxx) share identical pinout, package dimensions, and thermal pad layout per Sections 14.4–14.6 of the datasheet. The only differences are factory-programmed parameters (magnet type, sensitivity, axis, bandwidth), meaning PCB design and layout can be reused across the entire TSSOP-16 family without modification.
