Product details
Overview
MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE from Melexis is a dual-die, fully redundant Triaxis® resolver IC delivering true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs for absolute rotary position sensing. It operates from 3.3V or 5V supply, supports -40°C to 150°C ambient, features 4 µs output refresh rate, and is factory-programmed for NdFeB magnet compatibility, X/Z magnetic axis, and 50 mT full-scale magnetic range.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, TSSOP-16 package details, magnetic axis configuration, ratiometric output behavior, and validated alternatives for high-reliability motor control and automotive position feedback systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE implements Triaxis® Hall technology with two independent monolithic dies in a single TSSOP-16 package, enabling functional redundancy for ASIL-D–capable systems. Its dual analog outputs (OUT1/COS and OUT2/SIN per die) are ratiometric to VDD, with programmable sensitivity and filter bandwidth via external pins.
This variant uses X/Z intrinsic magnetic axis configuration-OUT1 responds to BX, OUT2 to BZ-and is preprogrammed for 50 mT full-scale range with NdFeB magnets. It delivers ≤1° total angular error after dynamic compensation and supports up to 25,000 rpm magnetic rotation speed with 125 kHz Nyquist frequency under high-bandwidth mode.
Key Specifications

| Output Type | Dual ratiometric analog sine/cosine outputs (two independent die channels) |
| Refresh Rate | 4 µs per field component; enables real-time position tracking at >25,000 rpm |
| Supply Voltage | 3.135–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V; supports both 3.3V and 5V MCU interfaces without level shifting |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +150°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor drive environments |
| Magnetic Range | 50 mT full-scale (BAB-400 option); optimized for NdFeB magnets in end-of-shaft or through-shaft configurations |

| Angular Accuracy | ≤ ±1° total error with dynamic compensation; linearity error < ±0.5% over 360° |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with exposed thermal pad; dual-die layout provides full redundancy across two independent signal chains (Die A and Die B).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VSS_A / VSS_B | Separate ground connections per die; mandatory for EMC integrity and channel isolation |
| 4, 11 | TEST_A / TEST_B | Factory test access; must be tied to GND for optimal EMC in production |
| 5, 13 | OUT2_B / OUT2_A | Sine output channels (Die B and Die A); ratiometric to respective VDD supply |
| 8, 16 | OUT1_B / OUT1_A | Cosine output channels (Die B and Die A); used with OUT2 for arctan(OUT2/OUT1) angle calculation |
| 6, 14 | VDD5V_B / VDD5V_A | 5V supply inputs per die; VDD3V3 pins must float when using 5V operation |
| 7, 15 | VDD3V3_B / VDD3V3_A | 3.3V supply inputs per die; VDD5V pins must float when using 3.3V operation |
Key Features

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-500-RE | 70 mT full-scale range (vs. 50 mT); identical X/Z axis and NdFeB magnet coding | Better suited for weaker magnetic fields or larger air gaps; requires recalibration of gain scaling in host MCU | Select when magnet strength or mechanical tolerances demand extended range without changing axis or magnet type |
| MLX90380LDC-BAB-400-RE | SOIC-8 single-die package (vs. TSSOP-16 dual-die); same BAB-400 option code and electrical specs | Lacks hardware redundancy; suitable for non-safety-critical applications with space or cost constraints | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial motion control where ASIL compliance is not required |
Compared with MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE, the -500 variant extends magnetic range for marginal field conditions, while the SOIC-8 -BAB-400 offers identical functionality without redundancy-enabling trade-offs between safety integrity, size, and system-level fault tolerance requirements.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE?
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 responds to the X-axis magnetic field component (BX) and OUT2 to the Z-axis component (BZ). This enables robust through-shaft mounting where orthogonal flux detection is required, and is confirmed by the "BAB-400" option code per Melexis datasheet Table 2.
Does MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE support both 3.3V and 5V supply voltages?
Yes, MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE supports dual supply operation: 3.135–3.6 V on VDD3V3 pins and 4.5–5.5 V on VDD5V pins. The device uses separate supply inputs per die (A and B), and only the active supply rail should be powered-the other must remain floating, as specified in Section 9.2 and Figure 12/13 of the datasheet.
What is the full-scale magnetic range programmed into MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE?
The "400" suffix in MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE indicates a 50 mT full-scale magnetic range, calibrated for NdFeB magnets. This value is factory-programmed and corresponds to a sensitivity of 0.8 %VDD/mT at 5V supply, delivering ±40% VDD output swing at full scale, per Table 2 and Section 12 specifications.
How does the dual-die architecture of MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE improve system reliability?
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE integrates two fully independent signal chains (Die A and Die B) in one TSSOP-16 package, each with dedicated VDD, VSS, and analog outputs. This enables cross-checking, fault detection, and fail-operational behavior-critical for ASIL-D–compliant automotive systems-without requiring external redundancy circuitry or board space.
Can MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE be used with ferrite or SmCo magnets?
No-MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-RE is specifically programmed for NdFeB magnets, as indicated by the "BAB" prefix in its option code. Using it with ferrite (BAC) or SmCo (BAA) magnets would result in incorrect sensitivity scaling and degraded angular accuracy, since temperature coefficient compensation and gain settings are magnet-type–specific per Section 12.1 and Table 2.
