Product details
Overview
MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP from Melexis is a Triaxis® Hall-based monolithic magnetic position processor IC for absolute linear position sensing in automotive-grade environments. It delivers ratiometric analog, PWM, or SENT output with ASIL-B functional safety for analog mode, operates from -40°C to +160°C, supports stray field immunity up to 5 mT, and is pre-programmed for linear legacy magnetic configuration in TSSOP-16 dual-die redundant package.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world timing behavior, output protocol constraints, safety mechanism coverage, and validated alternative options for pedal, throttle, and ride height sensing systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP implements a Triaxis® Hall front end sensitive to Bx, By, and Bz magnetic components, enabling absolute linear position decoding without rotational ambiguity. Its on-chip DSP performs stray-field-robust signal conditioning and supports user-programmable transfer characteristics using 12–16 calibration points.
This variant is factory-configured for linear legacy operation (Option Code ACA-430), uses TSSOP-16 full-redundant dual-die architecture with isolated ground/supply domains (Risol ≥ 4 MΩ), and delivers SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016) or PWM output with ASIL-C compliance-while analog output remains ASIL-B rated per ISO 26262 SEooC certification.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar magnetic position sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90423GDC-ACA-230-RE | SOIC-8 single-die, pre-programmed for linear stray-field robust mode (not legacy), no redundancy. | Suitable for cost-sensitive non-safety-critical linear sensing where dual-die isolation is unnecessary. | Select when BOM cost reduction outweighs ASIL-C requirement and system-level redundancy is handled externally. |
| MLX90423GVE-ACA-430-RE | SMP-3 PCB-less single-mold package, same linear legacy config but no dual-die or isolation capability. | Optimized for ultra-compact space-constrained modules like integrated motor controllers or e-axle assemblies. | Choose for minimal footprint and weight savings where thermal dissipation is managed via substrate conduction rather than airflow. |
Compared with MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP, the SOIC-8 variant trades redundancy and isolation for lower cost and simpler layout, while the SMP-3 version sacrifices fault tolerance for extreme miniaturization-making the TSSOP-16 dual-die the only option meeting full ASIL-C requirements in a single package.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP support?
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP supports SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016), PWM, and ratiometric analog outputs. It is factory-configured for linear legacy operation and defaults to SENT or PWM mode-both certified ASIL-C-while analog output maintains ASIL-B rating. Output selection is programmable via Melexis' PTC interface, and all modes include built-in diagnostics such as broken-wire detection and CRC validation.
How does the dual-die architecture of the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP improve functional safety?
The MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP uses physically isolated dies in its TSSOP-16 package, with separate VDD1/VSS1 and VDD2/VSS2 domains and independent OUT1/OUT2 outputs. This enables cross-die comparison, lockstep execution, or voting logic to detect latent faults. Isolation resistance exceeds 4 MΩ, and each die runs identical firmware-ensuring the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP meets ASIL-C requirements for SENT/PWM without external redundancy hardware.
What is the meaning of "linear legacy" in the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP ordering code?
"Linear legacy" (Option Code ACA-430) indicates the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP is pre-programmed for traditional linear position measurement with fixed magnetic circuit assumptions-distinct from the "linear stray field robust" (ACA-230) or "360° trough shaft" variants. It retains full programmability for transfer curve, filtering, and diagnostics but ships with factory-calibrated parameters optimized for legacy throttle/pedal designs without reprogramming.
Can the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP operate directly from a 12 V battery?
Yes-the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP supports battery-supply operation from 6 V to 18 V in PWM and SENT modes, with overvoltage protection up to 28 V for transient conditions. In this configuration, internal regulators derive VDEC (3.3 V analog rail) and VDIG (digital rail) from the battery input. The MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP draws 12 mA typical supply current per die (24 mA total), making it suitable for always-on vehicle networks with low quiescent power demands.
What is the guaranteed accuracy specification for the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP in linear legacy mode?
In linear legacy mode, the MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP achieves ±0.5% integral non-linearity (INL) and ±0.3° angular error over temperature (-40°C to +160°C) when used with a properly designed magnetic circuit. These values are measured per AEC-Q100 stress testing and include contributions from on-chip DSP linearization, temperature compensation, and stray field rejection-verified in production test across 100% of shipped MLX90423GGO-ACA-430-SP units.
