Product details
Overview
MLX90825GXP-DAD-400-SP from Melexis is a factory-calibrated relative pressure sensor with SENT digital output, designed for automotive crankcase ventilation and fuel vapor pressure monitoring. It delivers ±0.5% full-scale lifetime accuracy over –40°C to 160°C, supports –0.2 to 0.8 bar pressure range, and integrates MEMS, interface IC, and passive components in an SMP7 package compliant with AEC-Q100 and AEC-Q103-002.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90825GXP-DAD-400-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include SENT protocol compliance (SAE J2716 Apr 2016), master-mode operation with dual-pressure capability, ASIL B SEooC safety qualification, extended voltage tolerance (±40 V), and NTC temperature linearization support via configurable fast channel 2.
Technical Context
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-400-SP operates as a master device in differential pressure configurations, using a 16-bit DSP-based interface IC to perform real-time temperature compensation, pressure linearization, and SENT frame generation. Its analog front-end includes piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge sensing, PTAT internal temperature reference, and dedicated NTC input circuitry with programmable 20 Ω–1 MΩ resistance range.
It implements SENT Fast Channel 1 for primary pressure data (3×4-bit) and Fast Channel 2 for secondary pressure (e.g., slave device output), enabling synchronized dual-sensor systems without external arbitration. Diagnostics-including over/under-voltage detection, output clamping (1–4088 LSB), and proof pressure up to 5 bar-are fully programmable via EEPROM using the PTC04 tool.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | –0.2 to 0.8 bar relative pressure; enables crankcase ventilation monitoring with bidirectional flow detection. |
| Output Accuracy | ±0.5% FS lifetime accuracy; ensures long-term stability in harsh under-hood environments without recalibration. |
| SENT Compliance | SAE J2716 rev. Apr 2016; guarantees interoperability with standard automotive ECUs and diagnostic tools. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 160°C continuous; supports short-duration exposure up to 170°C for transient thermal events. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; ±40 V over/under-voltage protection eliminates need for external TVS diodes. |
| EMC Qualification | Validated per leading OEM EMC standards; integrated passive components (C1–C4, R1–R2) reduce board-level filtering requirements. |
| Safety Certification | ASIL B SEooC per ISO 26262; enables integration into safety-critical powertrain and emissions control systems. |
Pinout & Package
MLX90825GXP-DAD-400-SP uses the SMP7 surface-mount package (7-pin, bottom-view layout), featuring ridges for direct glue-based pressure sealing and no PCB requirement. The package integrates MEMS die, CMOS interface IC, and passive components (C1=100nF, C2=10nF, C3=2.2nF, C4=100nF, R1=2.7kΩ, R2=5.6kΩ).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | SENT output | Digital SENT signal output (master mode); drives ECU-compatible SENT receiver with 3 µs tick time and optional pause pulse. |
| 2 | Ground (GND) | Common reference for supply, SENT driver, and NTC measurement; low-impedance return path for EMC robustness. |
| 3 | Supply input (VDD) | Primary power input; supports 4.5–5.5 V operation with ±40 V fault tolerance and 12 mA typical current draw. |
| 4 | NTC input | Analog input for external NTC thermistor; enables linearized temperature reporting in Fast Channel 2 with 18–22 ms update time. |
| 5–7 | Test pins | Factory programming and test access points; not intended for end-user connection or system functionality. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-in-one integrated package | MEMS sensor, CMOS interface IC, and six passive components co-packaged in SMP7-eliminates external BOM items and reduces layout complexity. |
| Configurable SENT fast channels | FC1 carries primary pressure (3×4-bit); FC2 carries secondary pressure from slave device-enables differential pressure computation in ECU without additional sensors. |
| Factory-calibrated & programmable | EEPROM stores pressure transfer curve (P1/P2/O1/O2), temperature compensation coefficients (O0–O3, G0–G3), and diagnostics thresholds-field reprogrammable via PTC04 connector. |
| Harsh media resistance | Validated against halogens and acids; suitable for direct mounting in fuel vapor and crankcase gas environments without protective housing. |
| Extended voltage protection | Withstands +40 V overvoltage and –40 V reverse voltage on both supply and SENT output lines-reduces system-level protection component count. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar relative pressure sensing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLX90825GXP-DAD-300-RE | Standalone variant with identical –0.2 to 0.8 bar range and SENT output; lacks master-mode dual-channel capability and UART slave interface support. | Used in single-sensor applications where differential pressure computation is performed externally; no requirement for synchronized slave device communication. | Select when system architecture uses only one pressure point and does not require coordinated multi-sensor data fusion. |
| MLX90825GXP-DAD-404-RE | Master variant with extended –0.3 to 1.0 bar range and ±6.5 mbar pressure accuracy; same SMP7 package, SENT protocol, and ASIL B qualification. | Targeted at higher-span applications such as turbocharger boost monitoring or advanced EVAP testing requiring wider dynamic range. | Select when pressure span exceeds 0.8 bar or when tighter absolute error tolerance (±6.5 mbar vs. ±5 mbar) is required for regulatory compliance. |
Compared with MLX90825GXP-DAD-300-RE and MLX90825GXP-DAD-404-RE, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-400-SP provides optimal balance of dual-sensor coordination capability, industry-standard 0.8 bar span, and ASIL B–compliant diagnostics-making it the preferred choice for OEM crankcase and fuel vapor systems requiring master-slave synchronization without range extension.
