Product details
Overview
MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-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-025-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include closed-loop speed stability, programmable protections (LRP, OVP, TSD), PWM and I²C interface support, and DFN10 3×3 mm wettable flank package compatibility with automated optical inspection.
Technical Context
The MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE integrates a Hall-effect position sensor, gate driver, and motor control logic in a single die. It supports both open-loop and closed-loop speed regulation via analog PWM or digital I²C commands, with real-time adaptive commutation timing optimized per motor back-EMF profile.
Protections include programmable locked rotor detection, overvoltage shutdown at >40 V, thermal shutdown at 150 °C, cycle-by-cycle current limiting, and open-drain FG/RD diagnostic output configurable for fault reporting or tachometer feedback.
Key Specifications

| Interface Options | PWM input + I²C (100 kHz / 400 kHz) - allows factory programming of protection thresholds and runtime reconfiguration of commutation mode |
| Diagnostic Output | Open-drain FG/RD pin - configurable as tachometer signal or fault indicator (e.g., LRP, OCP, TSD) |
Pinout & Package
MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE uses an exposed-pad DFN10 (3 mm × 3 mm, 0.75 mm height) package with wettable flanks for reliable solder joint inspection. Thermal pad must be connected to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal performance.

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 | Lacks integrated Hall sensor; requires external rotor position sensing; no I²C interface; only PWM control | Better suited for cost-sensitive, fixed-function fans where programmability and diagnostics are not required | Select DRV10983ZRTJR when board space permits external sensor placement and firmware updates are unnecessary |
| MP6532GQ-Z | Higher 3.5 A current rating but no closed-loop speed control; no programmable protections; analog-only interface | Targeted at higher-power pumps (>40 W) where open-loop operation and simpler protection suffice | Choose MP6532GQ-Z for high-current, low-complexity applications where ±1.5% speed accuracy is not mandated |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous motor power supported by the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE?
The MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE supports up to 35 W continuous motor power at 2.2 A current limit and 32 V supply, with thermal design ensuring safe operation without external heatsink in typical forced-air or conduction-cooled layouts. This rating applies across its full 3.5–32 V input range and is validated per JEDEC qualification standards for the DFN10 package.
Does the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE require an external Hall-effect sensor?
No, the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE integrates a high-sensitivity Hall-effect sensor on-die, eliminating the need for external position sensing components. The HALL pin provides analog rotor position feedback directly to the internal commutation engine, enabling true single-chip BLDC control for single-coil topologies.
Can the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE operate in both open-loop and closed-loop speed control modes?
Yes, the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE supports both modes: open-loop via PWM input (duty cycle maps to target speed), and closed-loop using internal tachometer feedback for ±1.5% speed accuracy. Closed-loop mode reduces sensitivity to voltage drift, load changes, and motor aging - critical for appliance energy certification compliance.
What protection features are programmable on the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE?
Programmable protections on the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE include locked rotor timeout and threshold (via I²C), overvoltage trip level (OVP), and FG/RD output behavior (tachometer vs. fault indicator). Temperature shutdown and short-circuit response are fixed but fully qualified per JEDEC standards.
Is the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes, the MLX90412KLW-BAA-025-RE uses a DFN10 package with wettable flanks, specifically designed for AOI-compatible solder joint inspection. The exposed thermal pad and side-wettable leads enable reliable void detection and coplanarity verification - essential for high-yield manufacturing of compact fan modules.
