Based on proprietary technology, the MLX90376 belongs to the Triaxis® high-end family. Especially designed for demanding steering wheel angle, throttle valve and thermal management valve applications, this IC has a unique combination of features. These include:
- Option for dual stacked die in a PCB-less solution
- ASIL C Safety Element out of Context (SEooC), supporting up to ASIL D system integration (ISO 26262)
- SFI of up to 5mT (4000A/m) for 360° rotary applications (ISO 11452-8)
This position sensor can be housed in either SMP-4 PCB-less or surface-mount device (SMD) packaging. Use of the SMP-4 version makes mechanical integration easier, speeding up development and design. The dual stacked die is a major benefit versus off-axis tolerances, which is critical for applications such as electric power steering (EPS). The SMD versions are supplied in SOIC-8 (for single-die) and TSSOP-16 (for dual-die) package formats.
The MLX90376 is ASIL compliant and has been developed as an ASIL C SEooC as per ISO 26262. Specifying a dual-die MLX90376 provides redundancy for safety-critical applications, allowing the device to support system integration up to ASIL D.
The MLX90376 IC exhibits SFI up to 5mT (4000A/m) for 360° rotary applications (ISO 11452-8). This mitigates the sources of electromagnetic noise regularly found within electric cars.
