Release

Melexis NV announced the release of MLX90381, the world’s first pico-resolver on 30-June-2022.The MLX90381 is anew 3D magnetic resolver optimized for robust motor design:  smallest footprint, programmable at module level, cost-optimized and ASIL-ready.

When combining it with Melexis LIN motor driverfamily, the result is a convenient Sense & Drive solution for actuation and position sensing that helps customers tackle a wide variety of challenges like miniaturization, safety and programmability.

Key features

 Smallest footprint with DFN-6 package (2 x 2.5 mm2

  • Onboard programming through I2C protocol
    • Programmable at module level
  • ISO 26262 ASIL B SEooC (Safety Element out of Context)
  • AEC-Q100 Qualified
  • Triaxis® Hall technology
  • Sine and Cosine analog outputs
  • Output refresh rate 2 µs
  • Ratiometric outputs
  • Operating supply voltage 3.3 V
  • Operating temperature from -40 °C to 160 °C
  • Selectable magnetic field axis (X/Y – X/Z – Z/Y)
  • Programmable sensitivity range 
    • mid field (10…70mT) 
    • high field (40…160mT)
  • End-of-shaft / through-shaft operation
  • Package, RoHS Compliant: DFN-6 (LW) single die 

Applications

  • Absolute Rotary Position Sensor
  • Brushless Motor Control
    • Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
    • Brushless DC Motor (BLDC)
  • Field-Oriented Motor Control

The MLX90381 is easy to use in rotor position detection. It improves the low-speed accuracy, noise performance and supports stall detection. It can be used with DC, brushless DC (BLDC) and permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) in applications such as e-valves and e-bike motors.

It can be used in automotive safety-related systems as it is AEC-Q100 qualified and ASIL B ready (Safety Element out of Context according to ISO 26262).
