Product details
Overview
MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-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, ±40°C to +150°C operating temperature range, and programmable X/Z magnetic axis for through-shaft operation using NdFeB magnets at 40 mT full-scale range.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this TSSOP-16 dual-die resolver supports high-bandwidth field-oriented motor control in automotive EPS and industrial servo drives where ratiometric analog outputs, end-of-shaft/through-shaft flexibility, and AEC-Q100-compliant thermal robustness are required.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP implements Triaxis® Hall technology with orthogonal and parallel flux sensing on a single die, enabling simultaneous measurement of two magnetic field components (e.g., BX and BZ) to generate precise sine/cosine signals. Its dual-die TSSOP-16 configuration provides full redundancy for safety-critical applications.
It supports factory-programmed X/Z magnetic axis, 40 mT full-scale range, and high-bandwidth mode (output update period = 4 µs), with ratiometric analog outputs referenced to VDD and programmable sensitivity via 4 application pins - all operating from either 3.3 V or 5 V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - enables real-time angular tracking up to 25,000 rpm with ≤12 µs total tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C - qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments. |
| Magnetic Axis | X/Z - configured for through-shaft applications with equal sensitivity on X and Z axes per option code BAB. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 40 mT - factory-programmed sensitivity (BAB-4xx) optimized for NdFeB magnets, yielding ±40%VDD output swing. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V or 5 V - dual-rail support with separate VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins; only one rail powered per application. |
| Output Type | Ratiometric sine/cosine analog - OUT1 = COS, OUT2 = SIN, both referenced to VDD, enabling direct ADC interfacing without external reference. |
| Total Angular Error | ±1° with dynamic compensation - linearity error reduced via off-chip arctan(OUT2/OUT1) correction including offset/gain/phase calibration. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with dual-die fully redundant architecture; 1.0 mm pitch, 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body size, exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VSS_A / VSS_B | Separate ground returns for Die A and Die B - mandatory independent grounding for redundancy integrity and EMC performance. |
| 4, 11 | TEST_A / TEST_B | Factory test pins - must be tied to GND for optimal EMC; not used in normal operation. |
| 5, 13 | OUT2_B / OUT2_A | Sine analog outputs (Die B and Die A) - ratiometric, 0–100% VDD swing, require 10 kΩ minimum load resistance. |
| 8, 16 | OUT1_B / OUT1_A | Cosine analog outputs (Die B and Die A) - paired with OUT2 for arctan-based angle computation; matched timing within 100 ns. |
| 6, 14 | VDD5V_B / VDD5V_A | 5 V supply inputs for each die - used exclusively when operating at 5 V; VDD3V3 pins must float. |
| 7, 15 | VDD3V3_B / VDD3V3_A | 3.3 V supply inputs for each die - used exclusively when operating at 3.3 V; VDD5V pins must float. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Selectable magnetic axis (X/Z) | Enables mechanical compatibility with through-shaft magnet configurations while maintaining ±1° angular accuracy after dynamic compensation. |
| Dual-die TSSOP-16 redundancy | Provides fault-tolerant operation for ASIL-B/C systems by delivering independent sine/cosine pairs from physically separated dies. |
| Programmable bandwidth (high/medium/low) | High-bandwidth mode achieves 4 µs output update period - critical for fast-response motor control loops up to 25,000 rpm. |
| Ratiometric analog outputs | Eliminates need for external voltage reference; output scaling remains stable across VDD variations (±10%), simplifying MCU ADC interface. |
| End-of-shaft / through-shaft operation | Configurable via magnetic axis selection (X/Y for end-of-shaft; X/Z or Z/Y for through-shaft), supporting both axial and radial magnet placements. |
Applications
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) | Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) |

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 | Uses SmCo magnet instead of NdFeB; identical X/Z axis, 40 mT range, TSSOP-16 package. | Better high-temperature stability above 125°C due to SmCo's lower TCS drift; higher cost and lower availability. | Select when operating >130°C ambient or when long-term magnetic aging must be minimized. |
| MLX90380LDC-BAB-405-RE | SOIC-8 single-die variant; same BAB-405 option code (NdFeB, X/Z, 40 mT), but no redundancy. | Lacks dual-die fault tolerance; smaller footprint and lower cost; suitable for non-safety-critical BLDC commutation. | Select for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where ASIL compliance is not required. |
Compared with MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP, the BAA-400 offers superior thermal stability for extreme ambient conditions, while the LDC-BAB-405 reduces BOM cost and PCB area at the expense of functional safety redundancy - making the GO variant essential for automotive EPS and industrial servo applications demanding dual-channel integrity.

FAQ
What is the magnetic axis configuration of MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP?
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP is factory-programmed with X/Z magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 reports the X-component and OUT2 reports the Z-component of the applied magnetic field. This enables through-shaft operation with radial magnet placement and equal sensitivity on both axes, as defined by the BAB option code and confirmed in Section 8.2 of the datasheet.
Does MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP support both 3.3 V and 5 V supply simultaneously?
No - MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP requires exclusive use of either the VDD3V3 or VDD5V supply rails, not both. When operating at 3.3 V, the VDD5V pins must be left floating; when operating at 5 V, the VDD3V3 pins must be left floating. This isolation prevents cross-conduction and ensures proper internal regulator behavior per Section 13.1 of the datasheet.
How is redundancy implemented in MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP?
MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP uses a dual-die architecture in TSSOP-16, with independent signal chains (Die A and Die B) sharing no common circuitry except package-level connections. Each die provides its own OUT1/OUT2 pair, VDD/VSS rails, and TEST pin - enabling comparison-based fault detection and ASIL-B/C compliance per ISO 26262 requirements.
What is the full-scale magnetic range and magnet type for MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP?
The MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP is programmed for a 40 mT full-scale magnetic range using NdFeB magnets, as indicated by the "BAB" prefix (NdFeB) and "405" suffix (40 mT range, high-bandwidth mode). This yields ±40% VDD output swing at TA = 25°C with linearity better than 0.5%, per Table 2 and Section 12 of the datasheet.
Can MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP be reprogrammed in-system?
No - MLX90380LGO-BAB-405-SP is factory-programmed with fixed parameters (X/Z axis, 40 mT range, high-bandwidth mode) and does not support in-system reprogramming. Programming occurs during final test using dedicated equipment; the TEST pins are for factory diagnostics only and lack user-accessible programming interfaces per Sections 9.2 and 13.
