Product details
Overview
MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU 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 Ferrite magnets (BAC option), supports Z/Y magnetic axis configuration, and is designed for end-of-shaft or through-shaft motor position sensing in automotive EPS and industrial servo drives.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, TSSOP-16 package details, magnetic axis–specific pin definitions, ratiometric output behavior, and validated alternatives for high-reliability angular sensing in BLDC and PMSM control systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU implements Triaxis® Hall technology with orthogonal and in-plane magnetic field sensitivity, enabling precise angular resolution using rotating permanent magnets. Its dual-die TSSOP-16 architecture provides full redundancy: Die A (pins 13–16) and Die B (pins 5–8) each deliver independent SIN/COS analog outputs with matched timing and programmable bandwidth.
It supports Z/Y magnetic axis configuration (BAC-100), where OUT1 represents COS(Z) and OUT2 represents SIN(Y), with factory-programmed 70 mT full-scale range and Ferrite magnet optimization. Sensitivity is fixed at 0.57 %VDD/mT, and output offset is trimmed to 50 %VDD at B = 0 mT, TA = 25 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Refresh Rate | 4 µs - Enables real-time angle tracking up to 25,000 rpm with ≤17.5 µs total tracking delay in high-bandwidth mode. |
| Operating Supply | 3.3 V or 5 V - Dual-rail support allows direct interface with 3.3 V MCUs or legacy 5 V systems; VDD3V3 and VDD5V pins are separate and must not be shorted. |
| Full-Scale Magnetic Range | 70 mT - Factory-programmed for Ferrite magnets (BAC suffix); defines ±40 %VDD output swing at TA = 25 °C. |
| Sensitivity | 0.57 %VDD/mT - Fixed per BAC-100 option; enables accurate scaling of analog outputs into ADC input ranges without external gain stages. |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - Qualified for under-hood automotive and industrial motor control environments; junction limit is +165 °C. |
| Output Linearity | ±0.5 % - Measured over 360° at VDD = 5 V, output voltage within [0.5 V; 4.5 V]; critical for field-oriented control accuracy. |
| Total Angular Error (uncorrected) | ±10° at 25 °C - Reduces to ±1° with dynamic ECU-based offset/gain/phase compensation applied pre-arctan. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 package with exposed thermal pad (non-electrical), 0.65 mm pitch, 5.0 mm × 4.4 mm body size, and dual-die redundant layout for functional safety compliance (ASIL-B capable).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VSS_A / VSS_B | Separate ground returns for Die A and Die B - mandatory for noise isolation and EMC robustness; both must connect to system ground. |
| 5, 13 | OUT2_B / OUT2_A | SIN analog outputs - Die B and Die A each provide independent SIN signals; used for redundancy validation or differential processing. |
| 8, 16 | OUT1_B / OUT1_A | COS analog outputs - Paired with respective OUT2 pins; Z/Y axis assignment means OUT1 = COS(Z), OUT2 = SIN(Y). |
| 6, 14 | VDD5V_B / VDD5V_A | 5 V supply inputs - Must be decoupled locally (100 nF + 2.2 nF); VDD3V3 pins left floating when using 5 V mode. |
| 7, 15 | VDD3V3_B / VDD3V3_A | 3.3 V supply inputs - Used exclusively in 3.3 V mode; VDD5V pins left floating; both rails never powered simultaneously. |
| 2, 3, 10, 11, 12 | NC / TEST_A / TEST_B | No-connect or test pins - For optimal EMC, all NC and TEST pins must be tied to ground; not for user configuration. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triaxis® Hall Technology | Simultaneous orthogonal (Z) and in-plane (Y) field detection enables single-chip 360° absolute angle measurement without external concentrators or multi-sensor assemblies. |
| Ratiometric Sine/Cosine Outputs | Outputs scale directly with VDD (±2.5 % ratiometry), eliminating need for precision voltage references and simplifying ADC calibration across supply variations. |
| Z/Y Magnetic Axis Configuration | Optimized for through-shaft applications with two-pole off-axis magnets; Z-axis sensitivity is half that of Y-axis (BAC-100), matching typical flux distribution profiles. |
| Ferrite Magnet Optimization | BAC option ensures stable sensitivity temperature coefficient (2000 ppm/°C target) and offset drift performance with low-cost Ferrite magnets across −40 °C to +150 °C. |
| Programmable Bandwidth | High-bandwidth mode (4 µs update) supports >25,000 rpm motor speeds; medium/low modes reduce noise and EMI in slower, high-precision applications. |

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 | Uses NdFeB magnet (BAB), 70 mT range, 1100 ppm/°C TCS vs. 2000 ppm/°C for Ferrite; lower offset drift at high temperature. | Better suited for high-accuracy, narrow-temperature-range industrial encoders where magnet cost is secondary. | Select BAB-100 if NdFeB magnets are already deployed and tighter offset stability above 100 °C is required. |
| MLX90380LDC-BAC-100-RE | SOIC-8 single-die variant (not redundant); identical BAC-100 magnetic programming, same 70 mT range and Z/Y axis. | Used in cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications like consumer appliance motors or fan speed control. | Choose LDC-BAC-100 for footprint-constrained designs where functional redundancy is unnecessary and SOIC-8 is preferred. |
Compared with MLX90380LGO-BAB-100-RE and MLX90380LDC-BAC-100-RE, the MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU uniquely combines Ferrite magnet compatibility, dual-die redundancy in TSSOP-16, and Z/Y axis optimization-making it the only choice for ASIL-B-compliant, through-shaft, high-volume automotive EPS systems requiring long-term magnet stability and zero PCB redesign risk.

FAQ
What magnetic axis configuration does MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU use, and how is it implemented?
The MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU uses the Z/Y magnetic axis configuration, meaning OUT1 carries COS(Z) and OUT2 carries SIN(Y). This is factory-programmed via the BAC-100 option code and optimized for through-shaft applications with off-axis two-pole magnets. The Z-axis sensitivity is half that of the Y-axis (0.57 %VDD/mT vs. 1.14 %VDD/mT), matching typical flux distributions in such setups. No external configuration is needed-the axis mapping is hard-coded in silicon.
Can MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU operate from both 3.3 V and 5 V supplies simultaneously?
No, MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU cannot operate from both 3.3 V and 5 V supplies simultaneously. Its TSSOP-16 package has separate VDD3V3_A/VDD3V3_B and VDD5V_A/VDD5V_B pins. In 3.3 V mode, only the VDD3V3 pins are powered and VDD5V pins must remain floating; in 5 V mode, only the VDD5V pins are powered and VDD3V3 pins must float. Mixing supplies risks latch-up or undefined behavior per Section 9.2 of the datasheet.
How does the dual-die architecture of MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU support functional safety requirements?
The dual-die TSSOP-16 layout of MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU provides physically independent signal paths: Die A (OUT1_A/OUT2_A) and Die B (OUT1_B/OUT2_B) each generate full sine/cosine pairs. This enables cross-checking, plausibility validation, and fault detection in ASIL-B systems. Both dies share identical magnetic programming (BAC-100), ensuring matched gain, offset, and timing-critical for safe torque calculation in automotive EPS ECUs without requiring external redundancy logic.
What is the significance of the 'BAC' option code in MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU?
The 'BAC' option code in MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU specifies three key factory settings: Ferrite magnet type (vs. SmCo or NdFeB), Z/Y magnetic axis orientation, and 70 mT full-scale magnetic range. It also sets the sensitivity temperature coefficient to 2000 ppm/°C-optimized for Ferrite's strong negative TC-and configures internal gain and offset trimming for minimal drift across −40 °C to +150 °C. This option is immutable post-manufacture.
Does MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU require external programming or calibration after soldering?
No, MLX90380LGO-BAC-100-TU is fully factory-programmed and calibrated. The BAC-100 configuration-including Z/Y axis, 70 mT range, Ferrite magnet optimization, and ratiometric output scaling-is permanently stored in on-chip EEPROM during final test. No external programming via the connector or MCU is required for basic operation. Optional end-of-line calibration can further improve absolute accuracy but is not necessary for standard FOC or commutation use cases.
