Product details
Overview
MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE from Melexis is an automotive-grade absolute pressure sensor IC with MEMS sensing element, 16-bit microcontroller, analog front end, and ratiometric analog output. It delivers 0.2–2.5 bar pressure range, 0.2–4.8 V output, ±33 mBar total accuracy over −40°C to +150°C, and integrated diagnostics for manifold air pressure monitoring in turbocharged engines.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin definitions, confirmed automotive diagnostic features, exact transfer curve parameters, and real-world use context for engine control unit (ECU) integration.
Technical Context
The MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE implements a piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge sensing element with on-chip temperature compensation via a 16-bit DSP-based microcontroller. Its analog front end includes programmable gain instrumentation amplifier (Gst1 = 4.49–10.6 V/V), differential stage, and integrator, supporting 16-bit ADC conversion at 5 kHz effective sampling rate.
Diagnostics include broken-track detection on supply/ground lines, clamping level programmability (0–5 V), and fault band generation (Low/High Fault Band). The device uses EEPROM-stored calibration coefficients for third-order temperature compensation of offset and gain, plus linearization parameters for pressure signal correction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0.2–2.5 bar absolute: maps directly to engine intake manifold vacuum and boost conditions in downsized turbo engines. |
| Analog Output Range | 0.2–4.8 V ratiometric: scales linearly with supply voltage (4.5–5.5 V), enabling direct ADC interfacing without external scaling. |
| Total Accuracy | ±33 mBar over full temperature range: ensures <±1.3% FS error for closed-loop boost control and air-fuel ratio calculation. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +150°C: qualified for under-hood placement adjacent to intake manifolds and turbochargers. |
| Response Time | 0.93 ms (PFLT=0): supports real-time transient pressure tracking during rapid throttle transitions. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal: compatible with standard automotive 5 V rail; withstands 18 V overvoltage and −14 V reverse polarity. |
| Output Noise | 2 mVrms (BW ≤50 kHz): low enough to resolve <0.1 bar pressure changes without additional filtering. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE is housed in a rugged 4×5 mm DFN14 package (JEDEC MO-229, variant XE) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection. The package supports harsh-media variants and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 5 | Test pin | Factory programming and diagnostic access; not connected in end application; must be left floating or grounded per layout guidelines. |
| 7 | Vsupply | Main power input (4.5–5.5 V); includes integrated overvoltage/reverse-voltage protection and POR circuitry. |
| 8 | Analog Output | Ratiometric voltage output (0.2–4.8 V); drives ≥4.7 kΩ load; supports clamping and fault-band signaling. |
| 10, 14 | GND | Power ground terminals; dual GND pins reduce impedance and improve EMC performance in noisy engine environments. |
| 2, 4, 6, 9, 11, 12, 13 | Not Connected | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB; no pull-up/down required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| System-in-Package Integration | MEMS sensor, analog front end, 16-bit microcontroller, EEPROM, voltage regulators, and diagnostics co-integrated in single DFN die-eliminates external signal conditioning and reduces BOM count by ≥4 components. |
| Programmable Clamping Levels | Configurable low/high clamping thresholds (0–5 V range, 7-bit resolution) enable robust fault reporting without host MCU intervention. |
| Automotive Diagnostics | Built-in broken-track detection on Vsupply/GND, overpressure/underpressure alerts, and supply rail monitoring-meets ISO 26262 ASIL-B diagnostic coverage requirements. |
| Factory-Calibrated Transfer Curve | Pre-programmed P1=0.2 bar / O1=0.2 V and P2=2.5 bar / O2=4.8 V with EEPROM-stored linearization and temperature compensation coefficients-no field calibration needed. |
| EMC-Robust Architecture | Optimized CMOS layout and integrated protection circuits achieve best-in-class automotive EMC immunity-validated per ISO 11452-2/4/8 and ISO 7637-2/3. |

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), 0.2–4.8 V output, no integrated microcontroller or diagnostics; analog-only signal chain. | Lacks programmable clamping, temperature compensation, and fault reporting-requires external MCU for calibration and diagnostics. | Choose MPX5700AP only if cost sensitivity outweighs diagnostic capability and calibration flexibility. |
| SP12A | 0.2–2.5 bar range, but digital SPI output only; no analog output; requires host processor for data interpretation. | Cannot replace MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE in legacy analog-input ECUs without redesigning signal path and firmware. | Select SP12A only when migrating to digital sensor architecture with SPI interface and software-defined diagnostics. |
Compared with MPX5700AP and SP12A, MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE uniquely combines factory-calibrated analog output, embedded diagnostics, and automotive-grade temperature compensation in a single DFN package-enabling drop-in replacement in analog ECU designs while eliminating external signal conditioning and diagnostic logic.

FAQ
What is the calibrated pressure range and output voltage span for MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE?
The MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE is factory calibrated for 0.2–2.5 bar absolute pressure with corresponding analog output of 0.2–4.8 V at nominal 5 V supply. This ratiometric relationship holds across the full 4.5–5.5 V supply range, and the transfer curve is stored in on-chip EEPROM with temperature compensation coefficients applied in real time by the integrated 16-bit microcontroller.
Does MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE support diagnostic reporting through its analog output?
Yes, MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE supports analog-based diagnostics including Low Fault Band (0 V clamp) and High Fault Band (5 V clamp) signaling for supply/ground disconnection, as well as programmable clamping thresholds (0–5 V range). These features allow the ECU to detect and classify faults without requiring digital communication-making MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE compatible with legacy analog-input control systems.
What is the response time of MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE under default filter settings?
With default filter settings (PFLT=0, SSF disabled), MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE achieves a 90% response time of 0.93 ms to a pressure step input. This value is measured at room temperature with 5 V supply and accounts for internal signal processing latency, ADC conversion, and analog driver settling-enabling accurate capture of fast transient events in turbocharged engine cycles.
Can MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE operate reliably in under-hood automotive environments?
Yes, MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE is AEC-Q100 Grade 0 qualified with guaranteed operation from −40°C to +150°C ambient. Its DFN14 package features robust die attach and wire bonding optimized for thermal cycling, and its integrated overvoltage (18 V), reverse-voltage (−14 V), and burst pressure (15 bar) protections ensure reliability in harsh under-hood conditions typical of modern turbocharged powertrains.
Is MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90817 option codes?
Yes, all MLX90817 option codes-including MLX90817LXE-DBG-010-RE-share identical DFN14 (XE) package footprint and pinout. The differences between DBG-001, DBG-003, DBG-010, etc., reside solely in EEPROM-programmed calibration parameters, transfer curves, and clamping levels-not in hardware connectivity or physical layout-allowing flexible BOM management and design reuse across pressure range variants.
