Product details
Overview
MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® monolithic magnetic position sensor IC for absolute rotary position sensing. It integrates a 3-axis Hall front end, DSP-based signal conditioning, and SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016) output. Operating from −40°C to +160°C, it delivers 0–360° angular position with programmable linear transfer characteristic (up to 17 points) and supports high-reliability automotive applications including throttle and pedal position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (DMP-4), SENT timing specs (3 μs tick, 861–905 μs frame), ISO26262 ASIL B safety element out of context compliance, AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualification, and confirmed pin definitions for PCB-less dual-mold packaging.
Technical Context
The MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP uses Triaxis® Hall technology to measure Bx, By, and Bz components simultaneously, enabling robust absolute angle calculation from magnet motion. Its on-chip DSP performs real-time linearization using up to 17 user-programmable points and supports both synchronous (fixed-frame) and asynchronous (variable-frame) SENT acquisition modes.
It implements SENT output per SAE J2716 APR2016 with Single Secure Sensor A.3 (H.4) format, delivering error codes and user-defined diagnostics. The device features dual-die redundancy architecture in TSSOP-16 but the GVS variant uses single-die DMP-4 packaging with built-in decoupling capacitors and trim-and-form STD2 2.54 mm lead configuration.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90422GVS-ADD-030-RE | Same DMP-4 package and trim (STD2), but standard straight leads (not trimmed/formatted); identical electrical and magnetic specs | Requires manual lead forming during SMT; less suitable for automated pick-and-place with tight Z-height constraints | Select ADD-030 for prototyping or low-volume builds where lead form flexibility is needed. |
| MLX90422GDC-ADD-030-RE | SOIC-8 package (DC), not PCB-less; same temperature grade, SENT protocol, and functional spec; adds two NC pins and test pins | Requires PCB footprint and external decoupling; better suited for development boards or legacy designs retaining SOIC layout | Select DC variant when existing board space allows SOIC-8 and external capacitor integration is preferred. |
Compared with MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP, the ADD-030 variant offers identical sensing performance but requires post-SMT lead forming, while the DC version trades PCB-less integration for broader layout compatibility and easier probing-both retain full ASIL B and AEC-Q100 compliance without firmware or timing changes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP?
The MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 with an operating ambient temperature range of −40°C to +160°C.

Does the MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP require external decoupling capacitors?
No. The MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP in DMP-4 package integrates decoupling capacitance internally, eliminating the need for external VDD/VSS bypass capacitors. This reduces PCB area, BOM count, and EMI susceptibility compared to SOIC-8 or TSSOP-16 variants.
What SENT protocol version does the MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP implement?
The MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP implements SENT per SAE J2716 APR2016, specifically using the Single Secure Sensor A.3 (H.4) format with a fixed 3 μs tick time and 287-tick frame length (861–905 μs). It supports both pause-pulse and no-pause configurations via end-user programming.
How is safety compliance implemented in the MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP?
The MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP is certified as an ISO26262 ASIL B Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), featuring embedded CRC, watchdog timers (AWD/IWD), diagnostic cycle timers (DCTANA/DCTDIG), and programmable fault detection thresholds-including broken-wire detection at 99.5% VDD level on VSS.
What magnetic configurations does the MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP support?
The MLX90422GVS-ADD-033-SP supports X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z sensing modes via programmable axis selection.
