Product details
Overview
MLX90423GGO-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), PWM, or ratiometric analog output, supports ASIL-C functional safety for digital outputs, and operates from −40°C to +160°C in automotive-grade TSSOP-16 package.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level circuit roles, real-world use cases in pedal/throttle sensing, and validated alternative options aligned with AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and ISO 26262 SEooC requirements.
Technical Context
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE integrates a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic components, enabling robust absolute linear position decoding without mechanical contact. Its on-chip DSP performs stray-field-immune signal processing using programmable multi-point linearization (12–16 points) and configurable filtering.
This variant is pre-programmed for linear stray field robust operation (−2xx option code) and SENT output mode, with full redundancy via dual-die TSSOP-16 packaging. It implements ISO 26262-compliant diagnostics including programmable DCTdig (20 ms) and DCTana (10.64–12.4 ms), fail-safe state duration (5–33 ms), and broken-wire detection on VDD/VSS lines.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90422GGO-ACA-230-RE | Single-die TSSOP-16 variant with identical linear stray field robust configuration and SENT output, but no dual-die redundancy or isolation | Lacks ASIL-C certification path due to absence of hardware redundancy; suitable only for ASIL-B or lower integrity systems | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs functional safety requirements and diagnostic coverage targets |
| TLV493DW2B6HTSA1 | Infineon 3D Hall sensor with I²C output, ±0.5° accuracy, and −40°C to +125°C rating - no SENT support or ASIL-C qualification | Requires external microcontroller for protocol translation and safety monitoring; limited to non-safety-critical industrial or consumer use | Choose for space-constrained designs needing I²C interface and lower temperature range, not automotive safety compliance |
Compared with MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE, MLX90422GGO-ACA-230-RE reduces BOM cost by eliminating redundant die but forfeits ASIL-C capability, while TLV493DW2B6HTSA1 offers smaller footprint and I²C flexibility at the expense of automotive qualification and SENT-native integration.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE support?
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE supports SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016), PWM, and ratiometric analog outputs. This specific variant is pre-programmed for SENT operation, with field reconfiguration possible to PWM or analog via end-user programming. All modes maintain ASIL-C compliance for digital outputs and operate across the full −40°C to +160°C temperature range.
How does the dual-die architecture in MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE improve functional safety?
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE uses physically isolated die1 and die2 in its TSSOP-16 package, with separate VDD/VSS pins and ≥4 MΩ inter-die isolation resistance. This enables lockstep comparison of OUT1 and OUT2 outputs, detection of single-die faults, and compliance with ISO 26262 ASIL-C requirements through hardware redundancy - a capability absent in single-die alternatives like MLX90422GGO-ACA-230-RE.
What is the magnetic stray field immunity specification for MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE?
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE achieves stray field robustness up to 5 mT (4 kA/m) as specified in ISO 11452-8, validated for linear position sensing configurations. This immunity is enabled by Triaxis® Hall technology and on-chip signal processing, allowing reliable operation near high-current components such as inverters or solenoids without shielding or recalibration.
Can MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE be used in battery-powered systems?
Yes, MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE supports direct battery connection with supply voltage range 6–18 V for PWM and SENT modes, eliminating need for external regulators. Its supply current is 12 mA (single-die equivalent), and it includes programmable PTC entry levels (VPROV0/VPROV1) to manage wake-up behavior during low-voltage battery conditions.
What diagnostic features are implemented in MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE?
MLX90423GGO-ACA-230-RE implements broken-wire detection on VDD and VSS lines, programmable digital (DCTdig = 20 ms) and analog (DCTana = 10.64–12.4 ms) diagnostic cycles, fail-safe state activation within 5–33 ms, and SENT-embedded CRC/error codes. These features collectively satisfy ISO 26262 SEooC requirements for ASIL-C position sensing.
