Product details
Overview
MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP from Melexis is a PCB-less, factory-calibrated relative pressure sensor with ratiometric analog output (0.5–4.5 V), ±0.5% full-scale lifetime accuracy, and -0.017 to 0.345 bar measurement range. It integrates MEMS, CMOS interface IC, and passive components in an SMP7 package, qualified to AEC-Q100 and AEC-Q103-002 for automotive crankcase ventilation and fuel vapor pressure monitoring.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified technical context, calibrated transfer curve details, diagnostic configuration options, ASIL-A safety compliance per ISO 26262, and real-world integration guidance for harsh-media automotive sensing.
Technical Context
The MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP implements a DSP-based signal chain with integrated Wheatstone bridge MEMS diaphragm, 16-bit microcontroller for temperature compensation (up to third-order offset/gain), and programmable linearization. Its analog front-end includes filtering and ADC conversion, while digital back-end handles clamping, diagnostics, and EEPROM-stored calibration parameters (O0–O3, G0–G3, L0–L1).
It features dual ground pins (pins 1 and 3), three test pins (5–7), and a ratiometric output referenced to VDD (4.5–5.5 V). Diagnostics include configurable broken-connection detection, over/under-voltage flags (default 5.7 V / 4.3 V), and internal fault reporting via Upper/Lower Fault Bands (0–3%VDD / 97–100%VDD).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | -0.017 to 0.345 bar relative - enables precise low-differential monitoring in crankcase ventilation systems. |
| Output Signal | 0.5–4.5 V ratiometric analog - scales linearly with supply voltage, eliminating need for external reference. |
| Accuracy | ±0.5% FS lifetime accuracy - ensures long-term stability without recalibration in automotive under-hood environments. |
| Response Time | 0.4 ms (fastest) - supports dynamic pressure event capture in engine management applications. |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +160°C (170°C short-term) - validated for continuous use in high-temperature powertrain locations. |
| EMC Compliance | OEM-grade EMC performance - achieved via integrated 47nF/100nF/100nF passive network, no external filtering required. |
| Safety Certification | ASIL-A SEooC per ISO 26262 - provides certified safety element for functional safety architectures without additional qualification effort. |
Pinout & Package
SMP7 package: 7-pin, PCB-less molded module with ridges for glue-based pressure sealing; dimensions 7.0 × 5.5 × 3.2 mm (L×W×H); bottom-side gel port for pressure media exposure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ground (GND) | Primary ground connection; either pin 1 or 3 may be used - simplifies layout with single-point grounding. |
| 2 | Analog Output | Ratiometric voltage output (0.5–4.5 V); internally buffered with 100 nF capacitor - eliminates need for external decoupling. |
| 3 | Ground (GND) | Secondary ground option; electrically identical to pin 1 - allows redundancy or mechanical strain relief routing. |
| 4 | Supply Input (VDD) | 4.5–5.5 V nominal supply; supports ±40 V over/under-voltage protection - withstands load-dump and reverse-battery conditions. |
| 5–7 | Test Pins | Factory programming and diagnostics interface; not user-accessible in final application - reserved for PTC04 tool calibration and validation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| PCB-less integrated package | Eliminates board-level assembly; ridged housing enables direct gluing to metal housings for hermetic pressure coupling. |
| Factory-calibrated transfer curve | Pre-programmed P1 = -0.017 bar / P2 = 0.345 bar, O1 = 0.5 V / O2 = 4.5 V - reduces system-level calibration time and cost. |
| Configurable diagnostics | EEPROM-programmable fault sources (e.g., supply OV/UV, broken membrane) with selectable Low/High Fault Band mapping - enables application-specific failure response. |
| Harsh-media resistance | Validated against halogens and acids - suitable for direct exposure to crankcase vapors and fuel vapor without protective coating. |
| ASIL-A SEooC development | Delivers certified safety evidence (FMEDA, FTT, safety manual) - accelerates ISO 26262 integration into ECU safety plans. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar relative pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90821GXP-BAF-305-RE | Same SMP7 package and pressure range (-0.017 to 0.345 bar), but lacks ASIL-A SEooC certification and diagnostic configurability. | Targeted at non-safety-critical HVAC or industrial monitoring where functional safety is not mandated. | Select MLX90821GXP-BAF-305-RE only if ISO 26262 compliance and programmable diagnostics are unnecessary. |
| MPXV7025GP | Legacy Freescale analog sensor; 0–25 kPa range (0–0.25 bar), ±5% FS accuracy, no integrated diagnostics or ASIL support. | Used in legacy automotive designs with lower accuracy requirements and no safety architecture integration. | MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP offers 10× better accuracy, built-in diagnostics, and safety certification - upgrade recommended for new designs. |
Compared with MLX90821GXP-BAF-305-RE and MPXV7025GP, the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP uniquely combines AEC-Q103-002 qualification, ASIL-A SEooC status, factory-programmed low-range transfer curve, and configurable diagnostics - making it the only drop-in solution for safety-critical, high-accuracy crankcase and fuel vapor sensing.

FAQ
What is the calibrated pressure range of the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP?
The MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP is factory calibrated for a relative pressure range of -0.017 bar to +0.345 bar, with corresponding analog output spanning 0.5 V to 4.5 V. This narrow, low-differential span is optimized for crankcase ventilation and fuel vapor pressure sensing, and the calibration parameters are stored in on-chip EEPROM.
Does the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP require external passive components for operation?
No, the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP integrates all required passives - including 47 nF (C1), 100 nF (C2), and 100 nF (C3) capacitors - within its SMP7 package. This eliminates external filtering components and ensures OEM-grade EMC performance without layout-dependent tuning.
How is the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP programmed and calibrated?
The MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP is factory calibrated and fully programmable via its test pins (5–7) using the Melexis PTC04 programming tool. Calibration curves, diagnostic thresholds, and temperature compensation coefficients (O0–O3, G0–G3) are written to on-chip EEPROM during production or field reconfiguration.
What safety standard compliance does the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP provide?
The MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP is developed as an ASIL-A Safety Element out of Context (SEooC) per ISO 26262, with full FMEDA, safety manual, and hardware/software safety analysis documentation provided by Melexis. It is also qualified to AEC-Q100 (Grade 0) and AEC-Q103-002 for pressure sensors.
Can both GND pins (1 and 3) be connected simultaneously on the MLX90823GXP-BAF-305-SP?
Yes, both GND pins (1 and 3) may be connected, though only one is required for proper operation. Connecting both improves mechanical robustness and current-handling capability in high-vibration environments, and introduces no electrical conflict since they are internally tied to the same ground net.
