Based on the Triaxis Hall magnetic front-end, Melexis’ new MLX90377single- and dual-die (fully redundant) magnetic position sensor IC with new Single Mold Package (SMP) improves PCB-less integration and manufacturing costs in automotive and industrial applications. This new sensor integrates an ADC with signal conditioning, DSP, and an output stage driver that supports SPC (Short PWM Code) and ratiometric analog, PWM, and SENT signal formats.
The stray field robust modes ASIL-C (single die) capability and external pin measurement of MLX90377 sensor IC make it ideally suited for high performance and safety-critical applications. The SMP-3 and SMP-4 (single mold package, 3- and 4-pin) package options are available for PCB-less designs. These new packages are can be used without a printed circuit board, which helps in reducing total system cost and improving mechanical integration and reliability.
Moreover, the new package offers the best mechanical integration and quality via optimization of the package body and electrical leads, representing nearly a decade of continuous improvement based on customer feedback and application knowledge. The latest sensor IC released by the company provides improved performance and adds SPC capability ideal for multi-bus architectures like those found in advanced steering and braking applications.
