Product details
Overview
MLX90423GDC-ACA-230-RE from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-based monolithic magnetic position processor IC for absolute linear position sensing with stray field immunity up to 5 mT. It delivers SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016) output, operates from -40°C to +160°C, and features ASIL-C functional safety compliance for automotive pedal and throttle position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90423GDC-ACA-230-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified package mapping (SOIC-8), confirmed SENT timing (Tframe = 846 µs), validated stray-field robust linear mode (-2xx option), and real-world diagnostic cycle (DCT_ana = 10.64 ms).
Technical Context
The MLX90423GDC-ACA-230-RE integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz components, enabling absolute linear position decoding without mechanical contact. Its on-chip DSP performs stray-field-robust angle calculation using programmable multi-point linearization (12–16 points) and supports dynamic reconfiguration of output transfer characteristics.
This variant is factory pre-programmed for linear stray-field-robust operation (-2xx option) and SENT output (SW config "3"), with fixed SOIC-8 packaging (DC code), Grade 0 AEC-Q100 qualification, and ISO 26262 SEooC certification at ASIL-C for SENT/PWM and ASIL-B for analog outputs.
