Technical Context
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE integrates an LC oscillator driving a single transmitting coil and three staggered receiving coils, with on-chip analog front-end (tri-amp, PGA, 12-bit ADC), digital signal processing (phase tracking loop, 32-point linearization, delay compensation), and output protocol engines for SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016), PWM, and analog ratiometric modes.
It implements functional safety mechanisms including LCO frequency monitor, signal strength monitor, sensor integrity check, supply voltage monitoring, and dual temperature sensors, supporting safe states SS0–SS3 with fault handling time intervals compliant to ASIL C(D) requirements across all output modes.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar inductive position sensor interface applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE | Supports SPC output mode in addition to SENT/PWM/analog; identical TSSOP-16 package and temperature range | Required where host ECU uses SPC protocol instead of SENT; adds SPC master trigger pulse handling and synchronous transmission capability | Select when SPC compatibility is mandatory; otherwise MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE offers optimal cost/performance for SENT/PWM/analog-only systems |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | Capacitive position sensor interface IC; 12-bit resolution; SPI/I²C output only; no SENT/PWM/analog flexibility | Used in non-magnetic environments where inductive immunity is unnecessary; lacks ISO 11452-8 certification and ASIL C(D) support | Only suitable for non-automotive industrial applications lacking magnetic interference or functional safety requirements |
Compared with MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE, the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE omits SPC support but maintains identical accuracy, temperature range, and safety certification - making it the preferred choice for SENT-centric automotive designs. Against AMS AS5055A-BQFT, it provides magnetic immunity, multi-protocol output, and full ASIL C(D) compliance essential for powertrain and chassis systems.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE support?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE supports SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016), PWM, and analog ratiometric output modes - all configurable on the same OUT pin without hardware changes. It does not support SPC, which is exclusive to the -180 variant. Each mode is selected via internal registers during programming, and the device retains configuration in EEPROM.
How does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE handle broken-wire faults on the supply line?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE implements passive broken-wire diagnostics: if VS is disconnected with pull-down resistor RPD < 10 kΩ, OUT drops to 0–0.5%VS; if VS is disconnected with pull-up RPU < 10 kΩ, OUT rises to 95–98%VS. These thresholds are factory-trimmed and require no external circuitry - confirmed in Table 5 of the datasheet revision 002.
Is the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE qualified for automotive under-hood use?
Yes - the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified (−40°C to +160°C), ISO 26262 ASIL C(D) certified, and compliant with ISO 11452-8 for magnetic stray field immunity. Its thermal resistance (Rthja = 137 K/W) and supply transient tolerance (−24 V to +24 V for 1 hour) validate suitability for engine compartment deployment.
What is the latency of the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE in SENT mode?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE exhibits 12–18 µs latency in SENT mode (ABE_AOUT_MODE=0), measured from angular acquisition completion to first valid SENT frame edge. This value excludes physical layer propagation delay and is specified in Table 6 of the datasheet revision 002 under "Latency Δτphi".
Does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE include on-chip temperature sensing?
Yes - the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-RE integrates four on-die temperature sensors that compute an average junction temperature with ±5°C accuracy (Table 8). This reading is accessible via register read and used internally for thermal compensation of position accuracy and diagnostic monitoring.
