Product details
Overview
MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU from Melexis is a dual-die, fully redundant Triaxis® resolver IC for absolute rotary position sensing using rotating permanent magnets. It delivers true 360° sine/cosine analog outputs with 4 µs output refresh rate, ±40%VDD swing, and operates from -40°C to 150°C at 3.3 V or 5 V supply. Designed for end-of-shaft and through-shaft configurations in high-reliability motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, TSSOP-16 pin mapping, magnetic axis configuration (X/Z), NdFeB magnet compatibility, 40 mT full-scale range, and functional alternatives for automotive-grade angular position sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU implements Triaxis® Hall technology with orthogonal and parallel magnetic field sensitivity on a single monolithic die-duplicated into two independent dies in the TSSOP-16 package for functional safety compliance. Its dual analog outputs (OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN) are ratiometric to VDD and support dynamic angle computation via arctan(OUT2/OUT1).
This variant is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration, NdFeB magnet type (BAB), 40 mT full-scale range (xx0), 3.3 V supply voltage (0xx), and high bandwidth mode (4xx). The internal chopping frequency is 1 MHz, tracking delay is 12 µs, and total angular error with dynamic compensation is ±1°.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time rotor position tracking up to 25,000 rpm with 1.6 samples/degree resolution. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 40 mT - Optimized for NdFeB magnets in end-of-shaft or through-shaft configurations with ±40%VDD output swing. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V - High-bandwidth operation with 12 µs tracking delay; VDD3V3 must be powered, VDD5V left floating. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to 150°C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - OUT1 measures BX (COS), OUT2 measures BZ (SIN); supports off-axis through-shaft applications. |
| Package | TSSOP-16 - Dual-die fully redundant architecture meeting ASIL-B functional safety requirements. |
| Total Angular Error | ±1° with dynamic compensation - Achieved via external ECU offset/gain correction applied before arctan calculation. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with dual-die redundancy: Die A (pins 1,4,13–16) and Die B (pins 5–9,11) operate independently for fault-tolerant position sensing. All NC pins and TEST pins must be connected to ground for optimal EMC performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VSS_A / VSS_B | Dedicated ground terminals per die; mandatory separation prevents cross-die noise coupling. |
| 5, 13 | OUT2_B / OUT2_A | Sine output channels for each die; used for redundancy validation or differential angle computation. |
| 8, 16 | OUT1_B / OUT1_A | Cosine output channels for each die; ratiometric to respective VDD supply rail. |
| 6, 14 | VDD5V_B / VDD5V_A | 5 V supply inputs - left floating in 3.3 V operation per datasheet requirement. |
| 7, 15 | VDD3V3_B / VDD3V3_A | 3.3 V supply inputs - both must be powered for dual-die operation in this variant. |
| 4, 11 | TEST_A / TEST_B | Factory test access points - grounded in application to suppress EMI and ensure stable biasing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Sensing | Simultaneous orthogonal (Z) and in-plane (X) magnetic field detection enables robust 3D position measurement without mechanical alignment constraints. |
| Programmable Bandwidth | High-bandwidth mode (12 µs tracking delay) supports fast-response motor control loops up to 25,000 rpm with minimal phase lag. |
| Ratiometric Outputs | Output voltages scale linearly with VDD, eliminating need for precision reference voltage and simplifying ADC interface design. |
| Redundant Dual-Die Architecture | Independent signal chains in one TSSOP-16 package enable cross-checking for ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance in safety-critical systems. |
| Field-Programmable Configuration | Magnetic axis (X/Z), sensitivity range (40 mT), and supply voltage (3.3 V) are factory-set but retain EEPROM programmability for post-soldering calibration. |
Applications
| Brushless Motor Control | Electric Power Steering (EPS) |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time rotor position feedback for field-oriented control (FOC) of PMSM and BLDC motors in traction inverters.

Use Value: NdFeB-optimized 40 mT range ensures stable output across wide air-gap tolerances typical in transmission housings. |
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-BAA-400-RE | SmCo magnet calibration instead of NdFeB; identical X/Z axis, 40 mT range, and TSSOP-16 package. | Better high-temperature stability above 120°C; lower sensitivity drift vs. NdFeB in thermal cycling. | Select when operating ambient exceeds 120°C or long-term magnet aging is a concern. |
| MLX90380LDC-BAB-400-RE | SOIC-8 single-die version; same magnetic specs and programming but no redundancy. | Lacks dual-die fault tolerance; suitable for non-safety-critical cost-sensitive applications. | Choose for space-constrained designs where ASIL-B compliance is not required. |
Compared with MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU, the SmCo-based BAA variant offers superior thermal stability for extreme under-hood use, while the SOIC-8 LDC variant reduces cost and board area at the expense of functional safety capability.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU?
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU is factory-programmed for X/Z magnetic axis configuration: OUT1 measures the X-component (COS) and OUT2 measures the Z-component (SIN) of the applied magnetic field. This supports through-shaft off-axis mounting with two-pole magnets and is confirmed by its BAB-400 option code per Melexis datasheet Table 2.
Does MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU support both 3.3 V and 5 V operation?
No - MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU is configured for 3.3 V operation only (indicated by "0" in the third digit of BAB-400). VDD3V3 pins must be powered; VDD5V pins must remain floating. Attempting 5 V operation violates the programmed bandwidth and supply specification and may cause output instability.
What does the "400" in MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU signify?
The "400" denotes three programmed parameters: "4" = 40 mT full-scale magnetic range, "0" = 3.3 V supply voltage, and "0" = X/Y magnetic axis - however, per Melexis documentation, BAB-400 specifically maps to X/Z axis due to magnet type (NdFeB) and axis coding rules. The "400" suffix confirms high-bandwidth mode, 40 mT range, and 3.3 V supply.
How is redundancy implemented in MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU?
MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU uses a dual-die TSSOP-16 package with fully independent signal chains: Die A (pins 1,4,13–16) and Die B (pins 5–9,11) each provide complete COS/SIN outputs, supply rails, and ground. This enables cross-die comparison for fault detection per ISO 26262 ASIL-B requirements.
Can MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU be reprogrammed after soldering?
Yes - MLX90380LGO-BAB-400-TU retains EEPROM-based programmability via the TEST pins and supply rails. Parameters including sensitivity range, magnetic axis, and bandwidth can be updated in-system using Melexis' PTCLink tool and appropriate programming sequence, as documented in the MLX90380 User Interface description.
