Product details
Overview
MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE from Melexis is a relative pressure sensor 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, supports –0.3 to 1 bar pressure range, and integrates MEMS sensing, DSP signal processing, and passive components in an SMP7 package qualified to AEC-Q100 and AEC-Q103-002.
For engineers reviewing the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified functional role, UART interface behavior, ASIL B SEooC safety compliance, NTC temperature linearization capability, and exact SMP7 pin mapping per variant configuration.
Technical Context
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE operates as a slave device in master–slave pressure systems, transmitting calibrated pressure data via UART instead of SENT. Its internal 16-bit microcontroller performs real-time temperature compensation using third-order polynomial coefficients (O0–O3, G0–G3) stored in EEPROM, enabling ±6.5 mbar pressure accuracy across its –0.3 to 1 bar span.
It features dual diagnostics: programmable over/under-voltage detection (4.25–4.8 V / 5.2–5.75 V), clamping at 1 LSB low / 4088 LSB high, and configurable UART frame timing. Unlike standalone variants, it lacks SENT output but retains NTC input for external thermistor-based temperature linearization, disabled by default but field-programmable via PTC04 tool.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pressure Range | –0.3 to 1 bar relative pressure: enables crankcase vacuum and positive vapor pressure monitoring in one sensor. |

Applications
| Fuel Vapor Pressure Monitoring | Crankcase Ventilation Pressure Sensing |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time measurement of evaporative emissions system pressure during OBD-II leak testing and refueling events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Slave node providing UART-streamed pressure data to ECU for closed-loop vapor management and diagnostic flagging. Use Value: ±6.5 mbar accuracy ensures reliable detection of 0.5 mm leak holes per EPA Tier 3 requirements without oversampling. | Use Scenario: Continuous monitoring of positive/negative pressure in engine crankcase to detect PCV valve failure or blow-by gas accumulation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: UART-output slave sensor synchronized with master pressure node for differential analysis in multi-sensor architectures. Use Value: –0.3 to 1 bar range covers both vacuum (idle) and boost-referenced positive pressure (turbo operation) in single device. |
| Engine Oil Filter Clogging Detection | Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Differential Pressure |
Use Scenario: Detecting ΔP across oil filter media to trigger maintenance alerts before bypass valve activation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone pressure node reporting absolute pressure upstream of filter; UART output enables direct MCU polling. Use Value: 160°C rating permits mounting on engine block near oil gallery-no remote sensing or tubing required. | Use Scenario: Measuring pressure difference between EGR inlet and outlet to calculate flow rate and detect soot buildup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Slave in master–slave pair where master reads upstream pressure and slave reads downstream pressure via UART. Use Value: SMP7 package's media resistance prevents clogging or corrosion from acidic exhaust condensates. |
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-404-RE | Same SMP7 package and –0.3 to 1 bar range, but configured as master with SENT output instead of UART. | Used in systems requiring SENT bus integration and fast-channel diagnostics; not compatible with UART-only host interfaces. | Select when SENT protocol compatibility and master-role arbitration are required; requires SENT decoder hardware. |
| MPXV7025GP | Analog ratiometric output (0.2–4.7 V), no integrated UART or diagnostics; requires external ADC and microcontroller firmware. | Targeted at cost-sensitive non-AEC-Q100 applications; lacks ASIL B development assurance and harsh-media qualification. | Select only for legacy analog designs or non-automotive industrial use; adds BOM and validation burden. |
Compared with MLX90825GXP-DAD-404-RE and MPXV7025GP, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE uniquely combines UART digital output, AEC-Q103-002 media resistance, and ASIL B SEooC compliance-enabling drop-in replacement in UART-based ECU architectures without sacrificing automotive qualification or diagnostic depth.

FAQ
What communication protocol does the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE use?
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE uses UART protocol for digital output, not SENT-making it a slave device in master–slave configurations. It transmits calibrated pressure data in configurable UART frames, eliminating the need for SENT decoder hardware. This UART interface is electrically compatible with standard 5 V microcontroller UART receivers and supports programmable baud rates via EEPROM settings. The MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE does not implement SENT output.
Is the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 0 (–40°C to +160°C) and AEC-Q103-002 for harsh-media resistance. It is developed as an ASIL B Safety Element out of Context per ISO 26262, with full documentation available for integration into safety-managed systems. Its SMP7 package is validated against halogen and acid exposure, meeting OEM requirements for under-hood fuel and crankcase applications.
Can the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE measure temperature with an external NTC?
Yes, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE includes a dedicated NTC input (Pin 4) supporting 20 Ω–1 MΩ thermistors. Though disabled by default, NTC functionality can be enabled and calibrated via the PTC04 programming tool using custom coefficients-or with the default TDK G1551-series characteristic in Table 13. Linearized temperature output is transmitted alongside pressure data in UART frames, with ±0.75°C center-point accuracy.
What is the pressure accuracy specification for the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE?
The MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE delivers ±6.5 mbar typical pressure accuracy over its –0.3 to 1 bar range, corresponding to ±0.5% full-scale accuracy. This value is specified at center temperature (25°C) and includes contributions from offset, gain, and linearity compensation implemented in the on-chip 16-bit DSP. Accuracy degrades to ±10 mbar at extended temperatures (–40°C and +160°C) per the Fe factor in Table 12.
Does the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE require an external PCB?
No, the MLX90825GXP-DAD-504-RE uses a PCB-less SMP7 package with molded ridges for direct adhesive sealing to pressure ports. All passive components (C1–C4, R1–R2) are integrated inside the package per Figure 2 and Table 1, eliminating external filtering or biasing components. This design reduces assembly steps, improves EMC performance, and enables compact integration in space-constrained automotive modules.
