Product details
Overview
MLX90412KLW-BAD-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-BAD-025-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-configurable open/closed-loop mode switching for rapid end-of-line calibration.
Technical Context
The MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE integrates a Hall-effect position sensor, gate driver, and motor control logic in a single die. It supports both open-loop PWM input and closed-loop speed regulation via FG feedback, with ±1.5% speed accuracy across temperature and supply voltage variation.
Its adaptive commutation algorithm dynamically adjusts timing per motor load and speed, optimizing efficiency and acoustic noise simultaneously. Protection features include programmable OVP (up to 40 V transient tolerance), LRP, TSD, OCP, and CL - all with diagnostic reporting via open-drain FG/RD output.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous motor power supported by the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE?
The MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE supports up to 35 W continuous motor power with its 2.2 A current limit and thermal design. This rating assumes proper PCB copper area for the exposed thermal pad and ambient temperature ≤85 °C. At higher loads or elevated temperatures, derating applies - refer to the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE thermal resistance data (RθJA = 65 °C/W) for layout guidance.
Does the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE require an external Hall-effect sensor?
No, the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE integrates a high-sensitivity Hall-effect sensor on-die. This eliminates the need for external sensing components and simplifies mechanical alignment in fan and pump assemblies. The HALL pin provides direct access to the raw sensor signal, but internal processing handles commutation - no external sensor is required for basic operation of the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE.
How does closed-loop speed control work in the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE?
The MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE implements closed-loop speed control using its integrated FG/RD pin as a tachometer output. The host MCU reads pulse frequency to determine actual RPM, then adjusts the I²C-set target speed or PWM duty cycle accordingly. Internal regulation achieves ±1.5% accuracy across supply and temperature - a capability confirmed in the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE characterization report.
Can the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE operate from a 7-cell Li-ion battery pack?
Yes, the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE operates from 3.5 V to 32 V and tolerates transients up to 40 V, making it compatible with nominal 29 V (7S Li-ion) battery packs. Its wide input range and built-in OVP ensure safe operation during charge/discharge cycles and load-dump events - a key requirement validated for portable smart cleaner robot applications using the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE.
What certifications does the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE support out of the box?
The MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE is UL/VDE/CE ready and housed in a JEDEC-qualified DFN10 package. These certifications apply to the device itself and simplify system-level compliance for consumer appliances such as air conditioners, dryers, and smart toilets - no additional isolation or external protection is required solely to meet basic safety standards for the MLX90412KLW-BAD-025-RE.
