Product details
Overview
MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP from Melexis is an inductive position sensor interface IC designed for absolute linear and rotary position sensing in harsh automotive environments. It delivers ±0.1% FS accuracy, supports SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016), PWM, and analog ratiometric outputs, and operates from −40°C to +160°C with −24 V to +24 V overvoltage/reverse-polarity protection in a TSSOP-16 package.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, real-world output mode trade-offs, functional safety compliance (ASIL C/D), coil interface requirements, and validated alternative options for pedal, throttle, and steering position sensing systems.
Technical Context
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP integrates an LC oscillator driving a single transmitter coil and conditioning signals from three staggered receiver coils to compute absolute angular position via phase tracking and 32-point linearization. Its digital signal processing includes automatic gain control, offset compensation, and delay adjustment to maintain accuracy across temperature and target pole count variations.
It implements SENT fast-channel encoding with ≤0.5 µs tick time, SPC master-triggered synchronous transmission, and configurable open-drain/push-pull PWM or analog ratiometric output. Functional safety monitors include LCO frequency, signal strength, sensor integrity, supply voltage, and temperature - all compliant to ISO 26262 up to ASIL C/D and AEC-Q100 Grade 0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Position Accuracy | ±0.36°el (±3σ), enabling sub-degree resolution for high-precision throttle or pedal position feedback |
| Output Modes | Configurable SENT (J2716 APR2016), SPC, PWM, or analog ratiometric - no hardware change required between modes |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +160°C ambient, supporting under-hood and transmission-mounted applications without derating |
| Supply Range | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; withstands −24 V to +24 V transients, eliminating need for external TVS in 12/24 V systems |
| Functional Safety | ISO 26262 ASIL C/D certified for all output modes; includes LCO monitor, signal strength check, and safe state reporting |
| EMC Immunity | Compliant with ISO 11452-8 for magnetic stray field immunity, critical for electric powertrain proximity |
| Startup Time | 0.7–11.5 ms depending on PGI_CAP setting, ensuring deterministic initialization for ECU boot sequencing |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-16 RoHS-compliant package with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected); 4.4 mm × 5.0 mm footprint, 1.2 mm height, 0.65 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN0–IN2 | Sensor input | Accept differential analog signals from three receiver coils; support passive broken-wire diagnostics |
| LCP / LCN | LC oscillator interface | Drive external transmitter coil; require external CLCO capacitors and define LCO frequency with LTx |
| VSSLC / VSSA / VSSD / VSSDRV | Ground domains | Separate analog, digital, LC oscillator, and driver grounds minimize noise coupling in mixed-signal operation |
| OUT | Configurable output | Single-pin interface for SENT/SPC/PWM/analog; supports open-drain, push-pull, or pulse-shaping drive modes |
| VS / VCAP | Power supply | VS powers all domains; VCAP connects external 470 nF decoupling capacitor for transient ride-through |
| TI / TO | Test interface | Enable factory programming and diagnostics; TI grounded during normal operation, TO used for test output |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip 32-point linearization | Compensates nonlinearity from coil geometry and metallic target harmonics without host MCU intervention |
| SENT fast-channel encoding | Delivers primary position data in ≤12 µs latency with error codes and user-defined values per frame |
| Multi-domain ground separation | Prevents digital switching noise from corrupting analog coil inputs, preserving <0.07°el rms noise at LFC=2 |
| Passive diagnostic outputs | Detects broken-wire faults on VS or GND using internal resistive dividers - no extra components needed |
| Programmable gain amplifier (PGA) | Adapts to varying coil signal amplitudes across temperature and air gap, maintaining dynamic range without recalibration |

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 in addition to SENT/PWM/analog; identical pinout, package, and temperature rating | Required where ECU uses SPC protocol instead of SENT; adds master-trigger capability for synchronous multi-sensor systems | Select when SPC bus integration is mandatory; otherwise MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP reduces firmware complexity |
| AMS AS5055A-BQFT | Capacitive-based position sensor IC; 16-bit resolution but no SENT output; requires different mechanical sensor design | Used in non-magnetic environments where metal targets interfere with inductive sensing; lacks ASIL-D ready diagnostics | Choose only if inductive coupling is impractical; not drop-in due to different physics, coil layout, and safety architecture |
Compared with MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP, the -180 variant adds SPC support without changing layout or thermal behavior, while the AS5055A requires redesign of the sensor PCB and lacks ISO 11452-8 immunity and ASIL C/D certification - making MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP the preferred choice for automotive inductive position systems demanding robustness and functional safety.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP support?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP supports SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016), PWM, and analog ratiometric outputs. It does not support SPC - that capability is exclusive to the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE variant. All output modes are selectable via EEPROM configuration without hardware changes, and each complies with ISO 26262 up to ASIL C/D.
Does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP require external components for basic operation?
Yes - the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP requires external components including two CLCO capacitors for the LC oscillator, a 470 nF capacitor on VCAP for supply stabilization, and pull-up resistors on OUT for SENT/PWM modes. The inductive sensor itself (1 Tx + 3 Rx coils) is also external and must be PCB-patterned per Melexis coil design guidelines.
How does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP handle electromagnetic interference in automotive environments?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP achieves ISO 11452-8 compliance for magnetic stray field immunity through on-chip differential signal processing, multi-domain ground separation (VSSLC/VSSA/VSSD/VSSDRV), and integrated EMC filtering in the analog front-end. Its LC oscillator architecture inherently rejects common-mode noise, and passive broken-wire diagnostics further enhance robustness without external circuitry.
What is the startup behavior of the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP after power-on?
After power-on, the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP completes initialization in 0.7–11.5 ms depending on PGI_CAP setting. During startup, it reports safe state SS2 (Hi-Z) or SS3 on all outputs until angular acquisition and self-diagnostics pass. SENT frames are marked as initialization with FC1 = 0, and PWM starts at 0% duty cycle - ensuring deterministic ECU synchronization.
Is the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP pin-compatible with other Melexis inductive sensor ICs?
No - the MLX90513GGO-CAA-100-SP uses a dedicated TSSOP-16 pinout optimized for its 3-input inductive architecture and LC oscillator interface. It is not pin-compatible with MLX90363, MLX90374, or MLX90510. Pin assignments (e.g., IN0–IN2, LCP/LCN, domain-specific grounds) are unique to the MLX90513 family and must be implemented per Table 3 in the datasheet.
