Overview
MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE from Melexis is a dual-die Triaxis® Hall-based absolute rotary position sensor IC in TSSOP-16 package, delivering SENT output per SAE J2716 APR2016, ISO26262 ASIL B safety element out of context, and AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification for automotive throttle and steering applications.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified pin definitions, SENT timing specs, redundancy architecture details, magnetic field thresholds, and functional safety implementation guidance specific to the GO-package dual-die variant.
Technical Context
The MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE integrates two independent Triaxis® sensing dies in one TSSOP-16 package, each with full signal chain (Bx/By/Bz front end, ADC, DSP, SENT encoder), enabling hardware-level redundancy for safety-critical systems. It supports programmable linear transfer characteristics up to 17 points and operates across -40°C to +160°C ambient.
Its SENT output implements Single Secure Sensor A.3 (H.4) format with built-in diagnostics including broken-wire detection on VDD/VSS, CRC error reporting, and configurable field-too-low/high thresholds (2–30 mT / 70–126 mT). Startup time to first valid angle is 5.93 ms in synchronous mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Protocol | SENT per SAE J2716 APR2016, A.3 (H.4) format with pause pulse - enables deterministic timing and diagnostic frame embedding in automotive ECUs. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V automotive power rails; supports extended 5.5–6.25 V PTC entry for overvoltage detection. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C - qualified for engine bay and transmission housing mounting without external cooling. |
| Accuracy | ±0.5° typical angular error - achieved via on-chip DSP linearization and IMC-enhanced magnetic sensitivity. |
| Latency | 1.32–2.03 ms average - defined by fixed 3 μs tick time and 287-tick frame length; critical for real-time closed-loop control. |
| Redundancy | Dual-die architecture with isolated VSS1/VSS2 and VDD1/VDD2 - provides fault containment and cross-die comparison capability per ISO26262 requirements. |
| Magnetic Range | Bx/By ≤ 70 mT, |Bz| ≤ 126 mT - supports common NdFeB magnet geometries at air gaps up to 4 mm in rotary configurations. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 (GO) package: 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm × 1.2 mm body, 0.65 mm pitch, lead-free RoHS-compliant, rated for 160°C ambient operation with thermal resistance θJA = 110°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 9 | VDEC1 / VDEC2 | Decoupling pins for each die - require local 100 nF ceramic capacitors to ground to stabilize internal analog regulators. |
| 2, 10 | VSS1 / VSS2 | Independent ground returns - must be routed separately to enable isolation resistance >4 MΩ between dies for fault detection. |
| 3, 11 | VDD1 / VDD2 | Independent supply inputs - allow separate power domain monitoring and support dual-rail fault injection testing. |
| 4, 12, 13 | Test11 / Test12 / Test21 | Factory test pins - internally grounded in application mode; tie to PCB ground for EMC compliance. |
| 6, 15 | OUT2 / OUT1 | Open-drain SENT outputs - each drives independent pull-up (10–55 kΩ to Vext) for dual-channel diagnostics and voting logic. |
| 7, 8, 14, 16 | N.C. | No-connect terminals - must be left unconnected or tied to ground per Melexis EMC recommendation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-die redundancy | Independent signal chains with isolated power/ground enable cross-checking and fail-safe output arbitration per ASIL B requirements. |
| Programmable transfer curve | Up to 17-point user-defined linearization allows precise compensation for non-ideal magnet trajectories in pedal or throttle linkages. |
| SENT diagnostics | Embedded CRC, broken-wire detection (92.5–99.5% VDD level reporting), and configurable field thresholds simplify ECU-side fault classification. |
| Triaxis® 3D sensing | Simultaneous Bx, By, Bz measurement enables absolute angular position calculation from single moving magnet without mechanical stops or multi-turn gears. |
| High-temp operation | Validated operation up to +160°C ambient - eliminates need for heatsinking in transmission or turbocharger-mounted position sensing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90421GGO-ADD-030-RE | Single-die TSSOP-16 variant with identical SENT protocol, timing, and pinout but no inter-die isolation or redundancy features. | Lacks dual-die fault containment; suitable only for non-ASIL applications like HVAC damper control. | Select when ASIL B compliance is not required and cost optimization is prioritized over safety integrity. |
| AMS AS5600-WSCT | I²C output instead of SENT; no AEC-Q100 qualification; ±3° typical accuracy; operates only to +85°C ambient. | Designed for consumer/industrial encoders, not automotive powertrain or chassis systems requiring high-temp reliability. | Choose only for non-automotive prototypes or low-cost industrial position feedback where SENT interface and ASIL B are unnecessary. |
Compared with MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE, the MLX90421GGO-ADD-030-RE reduces safety overhead but forfeits fault containment, while the AMS AS5600-WSCT trades automotive robustness for simpler interface and lower cost-neither offers the combination of SENT timing determinism, dual-die isolation, and +160°C operation required for throttle or steering applications.

FAQ
What is the SENT frame structure used by MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE?
The MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE uses SENT with pause pulse (A.3/H.4 format) by default, featuring a fixed 3 μs tick time, 287-tick frame length (861–905 μs), and embedded diagnostics including CRC, status nibbles, and user-defined values. Each frame carries two angle acquisitions processed through on-chip DSP linearization.
Does MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE support both rotary and linear position sensing?
Yes, MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE supports both modes via programmable axis selection: rotary position uses Bx/By components for 0–360° measurement, while linear position leverages Bx/Bz or By/Bz combinations depending on magnet orientation. The magnetic configuration is set during programming, not hardware change.
How is functional safety implemented in MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE?
MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE is certified as an ISO26262 ASIL B Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), with dual-die redundancy, independent power/ground paths, cross-die diagnostics, watchdog timers, and SENT-level CRC/error reporting. Its safety manual (document ID MLX90422-SM) defines fault handling intervals and diagnostic coverage metrics.
What are the key differences between MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE and MLX90422GDC-ADD-030-RE?
The MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE uses TSSOP-16 packaging with dual-die redundancy and isolated VSS1/VSS2 pins, whereas MLX90422GDC-ADD-030-RE uses SOIC-8 packaging with single-die architecture and shared ground. Only the GO variant supports inter-die isolation resistance >4 MΩ and full ASIL B decomposition.
Can MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE operate beyond 160°C ambient temperature?
Yes, MLX90422GGO-ADD-030-RE is rated for up to +180°C ambient for limited duration (<250 h) in DMP-4, SMP-3, and SMP-4 packages-but the TSSOP-16 (GO) package is not approved for high-temperature extension. Operation above +160°C ambient in GO package violates absolute maximum ratings and voids AEC-Q100 qualification.
