Product details
Overview
MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE from Melexis is an automotive-grade inductive position sensor interface IC designed to process signals from a 3-coil inductive sensor for absolute linear or rotary position measurement. It delivers ±0.36°el position accuracy, supports SPC/SENT/PWM/analog ratiometric outputs, operates from -40°C to 160°C, and integrates on-chip LC oscillator, 12-bit ADC/DAC, and 32-point linearization - used in throttle, pedal, and steering wheel position sensing.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, TSSOP-16 pin mapping, functional safety compliance (ASIL C/D), output mode configuration details, and validated alternative options for automotive position-sensing designs.
Technical Context
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE implements a dedicated inductive sensing architecture with an integrated LC oscillator driving a single Tx coil and processing differential signals from three Rx coils (IN0–IN2). Its digital signal processing includes phase tracking loop, automatic gain control, and 32-point programmable linearization to compensate for mechanical nonlinearity and temperature drift.
It supports four configurable output modes: SPC (Short PWM Code) with synchronous master trigger, SENT (SAE J2716 APR2016) with fast/slow channels and error codes, PWM with <18 µs latency, and analog ratiometric output - all selectable via internal registers without hardware change. Functional safety diagnostics cover LCO frequency, signal strength, sensor integrity, supply, and temperature monitoring per ISO 26262 ASIL C/D requirements.

FAQ
What output protocols does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE support?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE supports four output protocols: Short PWM Code (SPC), Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT per SAE J2716 APR2016), Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), and analog ratiometric voltage. All are configurable via internal EEPROM settings and share the same OUT pin - no hardware changes needed to switch between modes.
Does the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE require external components for inductive sensing?
Yes, the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE requires an external inductive sensor consisting of one transmitting coil (driven by LCP/LCN) and three receiving coils (connected to IN0–IN2), plus two external CLCO capacitors for the LC oscillator. The IC itself contains all signal conditioning, ADC, DSP, and output drivers - no external MCU or FPGA is needed for basic operation.
How is functional safety implemented in the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE?
The MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE implements ISO 26262 ASIL C/D compliance through redundant diagnostics: LCO frequency monitor, signal strength checker, sensor coil integrity verification, supply voltage supervision, and dual temperature sensors. Safe states (SS0–SS3) are activated on fault detection, with SS2 (Hi-Z output) and SS3 (fixed diagnostic code) defined in the safety manual.
What is the startup behavior of the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE after power-on?
After power-on, the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE completes initialization in ≤2.9 ms (typical) before enabling outputs. During startup, it reports safe state SS2 or SS3 on all interfaces. In SENT/SPC mode, the first frame is marked as initialization; in PWM mode, duty cycle starts at 0% until valid angular data is confirmed by the DSP.
Can the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE operate without EEPROM programming?
Yes, the MLX90513GGO-CAA-180-RE powers up with factory-default settings: SENT output enabled, 32-point linearization active, and default LCO frequency. EEPROM programming is optional and used only to customize output mode, linearization points, timing parameters, or diagnostic thresholds - full functionality is available out-of-box.
