Product details
Overview
MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE from Melexis is a factory-calibrated, integrated relative pressure sensor delivering ratiometric analog output (0.5–4.5 V) over a 0.05 to –1.05 bar pressure range, with ±1.5%FSO overall accuracy, automotive-grade temperature operation (–40°C to 150°C), and built-in SENT/diagnostic capability. It serves as a primary pressure transducer in vacuum-critical automotive subsystems such as brake boosters and HVAC actuators.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical specs, calibrated transfer function details, diagnostic configuration guidance, and validated alternative part comparisons for automotive pressure-sensing designs requiring AEC-Q100 compliance and long-term drift stability.
Technical Context
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE integrates a piezoresistive MEMS sensing element, 16-bit microcontroller-based DSP, analog front-end with gain/offset compensation, and dual-output circuitry supporting either ratiometric analog (12-bit DAC-driven) or SENT (SAE J2716-compliant) signaling. Its architecture enables real-time pressure linearization, programmable clamping (0.49–0.51 V low / 4.49–4.51 V high), and burst pressure tolerance up to 5 bar.
It features on-chip diagnostics including broken-wire detection, overvoltage/reverse-voltage protection (–14 V at 150°C for 1 hr), and configurable fault reporting via diagnostic logic. The device operates from a 4.5–5.5 V supply, draws 7–8 mA, and achieves 1 ms analog response time (10–90% of 4 V span) with default filter settings (SSF = 1, PFLT = 0).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0.05 to –1.05 bar relative: supports vacuum measurement down to ~10 kPa below atmospheric, suitable for brake booster and HVAC vacuum actuation monitoring. |
| Analog Output | 0.5–4.5 V ratiometric: scales linearly with supply voltage; enables direct ADC interfacing without external reference. |
| Accuracy | ±1.5% FSO overall: includes temperature and lifetime drift; ensures stable calibration across –40°C to 150°C without recalibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V: compatible with standard automotive 5 V rails; includes reverse-voltage protection to –14 V. |
| Response Time | 1 ms (analog): fast enough for dynamic vacuum events like rapid brake pedal release or turbocharger wastegate actuation. |
| Diagnostic Clamping | Low: 0.49–0.51 V / High: 4.49–4.51 V: tight 20 mV window enables reliable fault detection in noisy vehicle environments. |
| Package | 16-pin SOIC-like molded package with backside-exposed diaphragm: optimized for sealing against automotive fluids and mechanical stress. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE uses a 16-pin surface-mount package with backside pressure port and top-side marking. Only one instance of each functional pin type must be connected: one Supply Input (pin 3 or 14), one Ground (pin 6 or 11), and one Analog Output (pins 7, 8, 9, or 10). SENT pins (1, 2, 15, 16) and Test pins (4, 13) are unused in analog mode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 3, 14 | Supply Input (VDD) | Primary power input; accepts 4.5–5.5 V; internal regulators distribute bias to analog/digital blocks. |
| 6, 11 | Ground (GND) | Reference return path; broken-wire detection activates if disconnected during operation. |
| 7, 8, 9, 10 | Analog Output | Ratiometric 0.5–4.5 V signal; load capacitance limited to 470 nF; requires 47 nF decoupling capacitor. |
| 1, 2, 15, 16 | SENT Output | Unused in EAD-000 configuration; must be shorted to GND per design guidelines when analog mode is active. |
| 4, 13 | Test Pin | Factory test access; must be shorted to GND in final application to disable test mode and ensure normal operation. |
| 5, 12 | Not Connected | No internal connection; left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Backside-exposed MEMS diaphragm | Enables direct vacuum coupling while resisting automotive media (oil, coolant, brake fluid) due to robust encapsulation and top-side isolation. |
| Programmable clamping levels | Configurable low/high limits (±10 mV accuracy) allow precise fault thresholding for open-circuit, short-to-rail, or sensor saturation detection. |
| Integrated 16-bit DSP | Performs real-time temperature compensation, pressure linearization, and digital filtering-eliminating need for host MCU computation. |
| Automotive diagnostic suite | Includes broken-track, overpressure, underpressure, overvoltage, and undervoltage detection-all configurable via EEPROM programming. |
| Factory-calibrated transfer curve | Delivers plug-and-play accuracy: 0.05 to –1.05 bar maps to 0.5–4.5 V with ±15 mBar pressure error over full temperature and life cycle. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar relative pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90809LXG-EAD-003-RE | 0–1 bar positive pressure range, same analog output (0.5–4.5 V), identical package and pinout. | Designed for boost pressure or fuel rail monitoring-not vacuum applications. | Select only if measuring above-atmospheric pressure; not interchangeable for vacuum use cases due to inverted transfer function. |
| MPXV7025GP | 0–25 kPa (0–0.25 bar) range, 0.2–4.8 V output, no SENT or diagnostics, smaller SO-8 package. | Lacks automotive diagnostics, temperature range (–40°C to 125°C), and AEC-Q100 qualification. | Use only in non-safety-critical, cost-sensitive industrial vacuum gauges where diagnostic coverage and extended temperature are not required. |
Compared with MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE, the EAD-003 variant supports positive-pressure measurement but cannot resolve vacuum below atmospheric pressure, while the MPXV7025GP offers lower cost and size at the expense of diagnostic capability, temperature margin, and long-term drift stability required for automotive deployment.

FAQ
What pressure range does the MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE support?
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE supports a relative pressure range of 0.05 to –1.05 bar, meaning it measures vacuum from slightly above atmospheric pressure down to approximately 10 kPa below ambient. This range is factory-programmed and optimized for applications like brake booster monitoring and HVAC actuator feedback, with the atmospheric pressure point always included in the calibrated transfer function.
Does the MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE support SENT output?
No, the MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE is configured exclusively for ratiometric analog output (0.5–4.5 V) and does not enable SENT functionality. Its option code EAD-000 specifies analog-only operation; SENT output is only available on variants such as MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-RE, which delivers 193–3896 LSB SENT frames.
What is the accuracy specification for MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE over temperature and life?
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE guarantees ±1.5% Full Span Output (FSO) overall accuracy, encompassing initial calibration error, temperature-induced drift (–40°C to 150°C), and long-term aging effects over the device's operational lifetime. This value is confirmed in Table 4 of the datasheet and applies to both pressure and output voltage domains.
How should unused SENT and Test pins be handled in MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE circuits?
For MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE, all SENT output pins (1, 2, 15, 16) and both Test pins (4, 13) must be shorted to ground in the final PCB layout. This disables SENT mode and prevents unintended test-mode activation, ensuring stable analog operation and proper diagnostic behavior per Melexis application guidelines.
Is MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE qualified to AEC-Q100 standards?
Yes, the MLX90809LXG-EAD-000-RE is fully AEC-Q100 qualified, including stress testing for temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock. Its burst pressure rating of 5 bar (per AEC-Q100-002) and operation over –40°C to 150°C confirm its suitability for under-hood automotive applications requiring high reliability and long-term stability.
