Product details
Overview
MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE from Melexis is a single-coil brushless DC fan and pump driver IC with integrated high-sensitivity Hall-effect sensor, 2.2 A current limit, closed-loop speed control (±1.5% accuracy), adaptive low-noise commutation, and I²C programmability - designed for smart 12 V/24 V cooling and fluid-handling systems up to 35 W.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection considerations include programmable locked rotor protection, wettable-flank DFN10 package compatibility with automated optical inspection, and I²C-based end-of-line calibration for production-ready thermal and acoustic optimization.
Technical Context
The MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE integrates a Hall-effect position sensor, gate driver, and current-sense circuitry in a single die, enabling sensorless-free operation for single-coil BLDC motors. It supports both open-loop and closed-loop speed control modes via PWM or I²C command, with real-time diagnostics output on FG/RD pin.
Its adaptive commutation algorithm dynamically adjusts timing across the full speed range (0–30,000 RPM) to maximize efficiency and minimize acoustic noise. Protection features include programmable OVP (up to 40 V), TSD, LRP, OCP, and current limiting - all implemented in hardware without firmware dependency.

| FG/RD | Diagnostics open-drain output | Configurable fault reporting (LRP, OCP, TSD) or tachometer signal. |
| PWM/EN | Control input | Accepts PWM (0–100%) for speed setpoint or digital enable/disable. |
| SCL / SDA | I²C interface | Enable programming of protection thresholds, commutation mode, and speed profile. |
| NC | No connect | Two pins (pins 4 & 9) are internally unused and must remain unconnected. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar single-coil BLDC fan and pump driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DRV10983ZRTJR | Requires external Hall sensor; no integrated sensor or I²C interface; fixed commutation timing. | Lacks closed-loop speed control and programmable diagnostics - requires MCU supervision for LRP/OVP. | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs acoustic/noise requirements and system MCU handles closed-loop control. |
| MP6532GQ-Z | Integrated sensor but no I²C; only PWM control; no FG/RD diagnostics output. | Supports basic speed control but lacks runtime programmability and fault reporting capability. | Selected when production volume justifies custom firmware integration and diagnostic visibility is not required. |
Compared with DRV10983ZRTJR and MP6532GQ-Z, the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE delivers out-of-box closed-loop operation, factory-programmable protections, and AOI-compatible packaging - reducing qualification time by ~6 weeks and eliminating external sensor placement validation.

The MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE supports up to 2.2 A continuous motor current under typical PCB thermal conditions (2-layer board, 1-in² copper pour). This enables safe operation of 35 W BLDC loads without external heatsinking. Derating applies above 85 °C ambient temperature, and current limit is adjustable via I²C register configuration.
Does the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE require an external Hall sensor?
No - the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE integrates a high-sensitivity Hall-effect sensor on-die, eliminating the need for external position sensing components. The HALL pin provides direct access to raw sensor output, and commutation timing is fully self-contained within the IC, supporting true single-chip BLDC motor control.
Can the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE operate from a 7-cell Li-ion battery pack (~29 V)?
Yes - the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE operates from 3.5 V to 32 V and is robust up to 40 V, making it compatible with nominal 29 V battery packs. Its overvoltage protection (OVP) is programmable up to 40 V, ensuring safe operation during charge termination spikes or load dump events common in portable power systems.
How is closed-loop speed control implemented in the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE?
The MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE implements closed-loop speed control using internal tachometer feedback derived from back-EMF zero-crossing detection and Hall sensor data. Speed setpoint is accepted via PWM duty cycle or I²C command, and regulation accuracy is ±1.5% across temperature and voltage variations without external compensation.
Is the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE qualified for UL/VDE/CE compliance?
Yes - the MLX90412KLW-BAA-022-RE is UL/VDE/CE ready, and its JEDEC-qualified DFN10 package meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3). Full certification documentation is available from Melexis upon request and supports accelerated safety approval for end equipment.
