Product details
Overview
MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE from Melexis is a PCB-less, factory-calibrated relative pressure sensor with analog output, designed for automotive crankcase ventilation and vacuum monitoring. It delivers 0 to –1.0 bar pressure range, ±0.5% full-scale lifetime accuracy, ratiometric 0.5–4.5 V output, and operates from –40°C to 160°C.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, ASIL-A-compliant diagnostics, and calibrated transfer curve details specific to the BAD-306 variant.
Technical Context
The MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE integrates a MEMS diaphragm, DSP-based interface IC, and three internal capacitors (C1 = 47 nF, C2 = C3 = 100 nF) in an SMP7 package. Its Wheatstone bridge transducer feeds an analog front-end with ADC conversion, followed by digital temperature compensation using third-order EEPROM-programmable offset/gain coefficients (O0–O3, G0–G3).
It implements configurable diagnostics including broken connection detection, over/under-voltage monitoring (default thresholds: 5.7 V OV / 4.3 V UV), and pressure fault bands. The analog output clamps at 0.3 V (LCL) and 4.7 V (HCL), with fault signaling via Lower Fault Band (0–3% VDD) or Upper Fault Band (97–100% VDD).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | 0 to –1.0 bar relative pressure - calibrated for vacuum-side measurement with atmospheric reference on bottom side. |
| Output Signal | 0.5–4.5 V ratiometric analog - linearly proportional to pressure and supply voltage; no external load resistor required. |
| Accuracy | ±0.5% FS lifetime accuracy - includes thermal drift compensation per Figure 7 (G temperature code, Fe = 1.5). |
| Response Time | 1 ms default / 0.4 ms fastest - time from pressure step to 90% settled output; programmable via EEPROM. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal - supports extended overvoltage (40 V, ≤2 h) and reverse voltage (–40 V) protection. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 160°C continuous - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 0 and AEC-Q103-002 for harsh under-hood use. |
| Diagnostics | Configurable internal diagnostics (OV/UV/pressure faults) + mandatory broken-connection detection - outputs fault bands outside 4–96% VDD range. |
Pinout & Package
SMP7 package: 7-pin, PCB-less, gel-sealed pressure interface with ridges for adhesive mounting. Dual GND pins (1 & 3) allow flexible layout; only one must be connected. Pins 5–7 are test-only and not used in application.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ground (GND) | Primary ground connection; electrically identical to Pin 3; either may serve as system return path. |
| 2 | Analog Output | Active ratiometric voltage output (0.5–4.5 V); internally buffered; drives up to 2 mA into 3–470 kΩ load. |
| 3 | Ground (GND) | Redundant ground terminal; optional connection; improves noise immunity if both GND pins are used. |
| 4 | Supply Input (VDD) | Power input (4.5–5.5 V); integrated reverse/overvoltage protection enables robust ECU integration. |
| 5–7 | Test Pins | Factory programming and test access only; must remain unconnected in end application. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ASIL-A SEooC Development | Developed per ISO 26262 as Safety Element out of Context - enables reuse in ASIL-B/C systems with proper integration validation. |
| Harsh Media Resistance | Validated resistance to halogens and acids - enables direct exposure in crankcase vapor and fuel vapor environments without coating. |
| Integrated Passive Components | Includes 47 nF (C1) and two 100 nF (C2, C3) capacitors - eliminates external filtering components and ensures EMC compliance per OEM standards. |
| Programmable Transfer Curve | EEPROM-stored calibration coefficients (O0–O3, G0–G3, L0–L1) enable custom linearization and temperature compensation for BAD-306's 0 to –1.0 bar range. |
| Glue-Compatible Mechanical Design | Ridged SMP7 housing enables reliable adhesive sealing against pressure ports - eliminates need for gaskets or solder-mounting fixtures. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar relative pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90823GXP-BAD-308-RE | Same package, calibration, and accuracy; measures 0 to +1.0 bar (positive gauge) instead of 0 to –1.0 bar. | Used for boost pressure monitoring rather than vacuum; requires different ECU scaling and fault logic. | Select when measuring positive pressure spans; not interchangeable without firmware reconfiguration. |
| MPXV7025DP | Legacy Freescale analog sensor; 2.5–27.5 kPa range (0–0.275 bar), ±1.5% FS accuracy, no integrated diagnostics or ASIL support. | Lacks broken-wire detection, programmable diagnostics, and automotive qualification beyond AEC-Q100 Grade 2. | Consider only for non-safety-critical legacy designs; MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE offers superior accuracy, diagnostics, and temperature range. |
Compared with MLX90823GXP-BAD-308-RE, the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE provides inverted pressure polarity optimized for vacuum; compared with MPXV7025DP, it adds ASIL-A development assurance, EEPROM programmability, and integrated EMC passives - reducing BOM count and validation effort in new automotive platforms.

FAQ
What pressure range does the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE measure?
The MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE is factory calibrated for a relative pressure range of 0 to –1.0 bar, meaning it measures vacuum referenced to atmospheric pressure on the bottom side of the package. This range is fixed per its BAD-306 option code and cannot be reconfigured to positive pressure spans without hardware replacement.
Is the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE pin-compatible with other MLX90823 variants?
Yes, all MLX90823 variants-including MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE-share the identical SMP7 package and 7-pin pinout. Pin functions (GND, VDD, OUT, test pins) are consistent across variants; only calibration parameters and pressure range differ, making them mechanically and electrically interchangeable in PCB layout.
Does the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE require external capacitors?
No, the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE integrates all required passive components: a 47 nF capacitor (C1) and two 100 nF capacitors (C2, C3). These are embedded within the SMP7 package, eliminating the need for external filtering or decoupling capacitors in the application circuit.
How is diagnostic fault signaling implemented in the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE?
The MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE signals faults by driving its analog output into defined fault bands: Lower Fault Band (0–3% VDD) for open-GND or internal errors, and Upper Fault Band (97–100% VDD) for overvoltage or open-VDD. These bands lie outside the normal 4–96% VDD operating range, enabling unambiguous ECU detection.
Can the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE be programmed in-system?
Yes, the MLX90823GXP-BAD-306-RE supports in-system programming via its dedicated test pins using the Melexis PTC04 programming tool. This allows field calibration updates, EEPROM parameter adjustment (e.g., OV/UV thresholds), and custom transfer curve configuration without removing the device from the assembly.
