Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar absolute pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPX5700AP | 700 kPa range (0–7 bar), 0–5 V output, no integrated microcontroller or diagnostics; requires external compensation | Used in non-automotive industrial pressure monitoring; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and fault reporting | Choose MPX5700AP only for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where calibration and diagnostics are handled externally |
| SSM2200-001 | 0.5–4 bar range, 0.5–4.5 V output, but uses analog ASIC-only architecture (no MCU or EEPROM); fixed temperature compensation | Deployed in legacy automotive platforms requiring pin-compatible replacement without firmware updates | SSM2200-001 suits drop-in upgrades where existing ECU software cannot support programmable diagnostics or filter settings |

FAQ
What is the pressure range and output scaling of the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE?
The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE is factory calibrated for an absolute pressure range of 0.5–4 bar, producing a ratiometric analog output from 0.5 V to 4.5 V at nominal 5 V supply. The transfer function is stored in on-chip EEPROM and remains stable across –40°C to +150°C. This scaling enables direct interface with standard 12-bit automotive ECUs without external amplification or level-shifting circuitry. The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE maintains ±35 mbar total accuracy over its full operating range.
Does the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE support diagnostic functions, and how are they implemented?
Yes, the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE integrates multiple automotive diagnostics including broken-track detection on Vsupply and GND lines, over/under-pressure flags, and programmable output clamping (0.3 V low / 4.7 V high). These functions operate autonomously via on-chip logic and do not require host processor intervention. Diagnostic status is signaled through analog output rail clamping or fault-band voltage levels, enabling immediate ECU response. All diagnostics are AEC-Q100 validated and configurable via EEPROM. The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE supports ISO 26262 ASIL-B compliance when used per Melexis application notes.
What package type and pin configuration does the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE use?
The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE uses a 4×5 mm DFN14 (dual flat no-lead) package with wettable flanks, designated as "XE" in Melexis ordering nomenclature. It has 14 terminals: pins 1/3/5 are test-only and unconnected in application; pin 7 is Vsupply; pin 8 is analog output; pins 10 and 14 are ground; and pins 2/4/6/9/11/12/13 are NC. The package supports automated optical inspection and meets IPC-J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3. The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE requires no external decoupling beyond the recommended 47–100 nF capacitor on Vsupply.
Can the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE be reprogrammed or recalibrated in-system?
Yes, the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE supports full in-system reprogramming via its dedicated communication mode, entered by applying 6.2–7.8 V to Vsupply. Users can update EEPROM parameters including pressure transfer curve coefficients (O0–O3, G0–G3), filter settings (PFLT, SSF), clamping levels, and diagnostic thresholds using Melexis' official programming tools. Calibration data is retained across power cycles. Reprogramming does not affect device qualification or AEC-Q100 status. The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE allows field adaptation to new engine variants or aging compensation without hardware change.
What is the typical response time and noise performance of the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE?
The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE achieves a 1 ms response time (90% settling) with default PFLT=0 and SSF disabled, and output noise of 2 mVrms (BW = 50 kHz). Response time is programmable from 0.93 ms to 203.8 ms via PFLT register (0–9), while SSF reduces small-signal noise without affecting step response. The analog output drives loads ≥4.7 kΩ and tolerates capacitive loads up to 470 nF. These characteristics make the MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE suitable for fast transient pressure capture in turbocharged engines. The MLX90817LXE-DBG-001-RE maintains specified performance across its full –40°C to +150°C range.
