Technical Context
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP integrates a piezoresistive MEMS sensing element, 16-bit microcontroller-based DSP, analog front-end, SENT driver, and on-chip voltage regulators. Its architecture supports programmable clamping levels (1–4088 LSB), configurable filter settings, and pressure linearization across −40°C to +150°C.
It implements broken-wire detection, overvoltage protection (up to +18 V), reverse-voltage tolerance (−14 V at 150°C), and diagnostic logic for open-circuit, short-to-rail, overpressure, and undervoltage conditions-all stored in EEPROM and accessible via programming interface.

FAQ
What output protocol does the MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP use?
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP uses the SENT (Single Edge Nibble Transmission) protocol compliant with SAE J2716 Jan 2010. It delivers 12-bit pressure data per frame with status nibble and CRC checksum. This digital output eliminates analog noise susceptibility and simplifies ECU interface design compared to ratiometric analog variants like EAD-007. The MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP does not support analog output mode.
What is the pressure range and accuracy of the MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP?
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP measures relative pressure from 0.05 to −1.2 bar with ±20 mBar total accuracy over temperature (−40°C to +150°C) and lifetime. This specification reflects combined effects of initial calibration error, thermal drift, and long-term stability-verified per AEC-Q100 stress testing. Accuracy is expressed directly in pressure units, not %FSO, due to the asymmetric vacuum range.
Does the MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP require external components for basic operation?
Yes-the MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP requires a 47 nF decoupling capacitor on the VDD line and a 2.2 nF capacitor on the SENT output pin per Melexis application guidance. Additionally, one analog output pin and the test pin (pins 4 or 13) must be tied to GND when operating in SENT mode to suppress cross-talk. No pull-up resistors or level shifters are needed for SENT interface.
How is diagnostic functionality implemented in the MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP?
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP embeds diagnostics including broken-wire detection (on VDD/GND lines), overpressure/underpressure flags, open-circuit SENT output reporting, and supply rail monitoring. Diagnostic states are encoded in the SENT status nibble and can be configured via EEPROM programming. Faults trigger clamped output values (1–4088 LSB) and persist until cleared by host ECU command or power cycle.
What package type and mounting orientation does the MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP use?
The MLX90809LXG-EAD-100-SP uses a 16-pin SOIC package (10.33 mm × 7.7 mm × 2.45 mm max) with back-side pressure port. The pressure-sensitive diaphragm is located on the underside of the package-requiring mounting with the marked side (top) facing away from the measured medium. Sealing must accommodate the exposed cavity; Melexis recommends silicone gasket or O-ring compression against a machined surface.
