Product details
Overview
MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP from Melexis is a standalone relative pressure sensor IC with UART 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, features AEC-Q100/AEC-Q103 qualification, ASIL B SEooC compliance per ISO 26262, and operates with 4.5–5.5 V supply at 12 mA typical current draw.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified technical context, SENT/UART interface behavior, pressure transfer curve details (–0.2 to 0.8 bar), diagnostic configurability, and OEM-grade EMC validation - all critical for safety-critical engine management system integration.
Technical Context
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP implements a MEMS diaphragm with piezoresistive Wheatstone bridge, analog front-end filtering, and a 16-bit DSP-based interface IC performing real-time temperature compensation, pressure linearization, and clamping. Its slave-mode operation disables SENT output and enables UART transmission of calibrated pressure data.
It integrates passive components (C1=100nF, C2=10nF, C3=2.2nF, C4=100nF) within the SMP7 package for EMC robustness and supports external NTC thermistor input (disabled by default), with programmable diagnostics including over/under-voltage detection (4.25–4.8 V / 5.2–5.75 V thresholds) and pressure out-of-range reporting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | –0.2 to 0.8 bar relative pressure; enables crankcase vacuum and positive vapor pressure sensing in one device. |
| Output Interface | UART output (slave mode); replaces SENT for point-to-point host communication without protocol arbitration overhead. |
| Accuracy | ±0.5% FS lifetime accuracy; ensures long-term stability in harsh under-hood environments without recalibration. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V nominal; supports automotive battery transients with ±40 V over/under-voltage protection on supply and output pins. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 160°C continuous; extended to 170°C for ≤10 min durations, matching turbocharged engine bay thermal profiles. |
| Diagnostics | Configurable over/under-voltage, output out-of-range, and pressure fault flags; enables ASIL B-compliant failure response. |
| EMC Validation | Validated per leading OEM EMC standards; eliminates need for external filtering in module-level designs. |
Pinout & Package

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 SENT output; identical pressure range (–0.2 to 0.8 bar) and accuracy, but lacks UART interface. | Used where host ECU has SENT receiver only; requires SENT-compatible signal conditioning and decoding logic. | Select when SENT bus architecture is already deployed and UART integration is not feasible. |
| MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE | Slave variant with extended pressure range (–0.3 to 1.0 bar); same UART interface, EEPROM programmability, and ASIL B SEooC status. | Required for higher-delta applications like turbocharger boost control or enhanced crankcase monitoring with wider dynamic range. | Select when system pressure excursions exceed 0.8 bar and require headroom for transient spikes. |
Compared with MLX90825GXP-DAD-300-RE, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP trades SENT compatibility for deterministic UART timing and simplified host-side parsing; compared with MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE, it offers tighter cost and footprint optimization for mid-range crankcase and vapor pressure use cases where 1.0 bar range is unnecessary.

FAQ
What output protocol does the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP use?
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP uses UART output exclusively - it is configured as a slave device and does not support SENT. This UART interface transmits calibrated pressure data directly to a host microcontroller, eliminating SENT decoding complexity while maintaining deterministic timing and error resilience. The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP UART operates at standard automotive-compatible voltage levels and supports configurable baud rates via PTC04 programming.
Is the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +160°C) and AEC-Q103-002 for pressure sensors. It is also developed as an ASIL B Safety Element out of Context per ISO 26262, enabling its integration into ASIL B safety mechanisms without requiring full system-level requalification. The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP meets stringent OEM EMC requirements and exhibits proven resistance to halogens and acidic media found in engine compartments.
What is the pressure measurement range of the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP?
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP is factory calibrated for a relative pressure range of –0.2 bar to +0.8 bar, corresponding to vacuum and positive pressure conditions typical in crankcase ventilation and fuel vapor systems. Its transfer curve outputs pressure as a calibrated value within a defined LSB range, and the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP maintains ±0.5% full-scale accuracy across its entire operating temperature range without recalibration.
Can the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP measure temperature?
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP supports optional external NTC thermistor input on Pin 4, though it is disabled by default. When enabled via PTC04 programming, it performs full linearization and calibration of the NTC signal using its integrated 16-bit DSP. The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP also measures internal die temperature using a PTAT reference, with ±10°C accuracy, and can transmit both values via UART depending on configuration.
Does the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP require external passive components?
No, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP integrates all required passive components - including C1 (100 nF), C2 (10 nF), C3 (2.2 nF), and C4 (100 nF) - within its SMP7 package. This eliminates the need for external decoupling or filtering components, simplifies PCB layout, and ensures consistent EMC performance across production units. The MLX90825GXP-DAD-500-SP is validated to leading OEM EMC standards without additional board-level filtering.
