MLX90378GGO-ABJ-300

Manufacturer: Melexis

The MLX90378GGO-ABJ-300 is a Triaxis performance 3D and joystick position sensor IC, dual output (SENT / PWM) from Melexis, part of the Triaxis performance (third generation) line. With its integrated magnetic concentrator it senses the three spatial components (Bx, By and Bz) of the applied magnetic field contactlessly, which is what allows 3D and joystick movement to be determined from a single device. Key parameters for this ordering code: type is 3D Magnetic Sensor; motion is Joystick; supply voltage is 5 V / 12 V; offered in the TSSOP-16 package; rated operating temperature is -40 to +160 °C. Parameters above are taken from the manufacturer datasheet; confirm the current revision before finalising a design.

Overview

The MLX90378GGO-ABJ-300 from Melexis is a 3D magnetic sensor. Key figures include the TSSOP-16 package, a supply voltage of 5 V / 12 V, a temperature range of -40 to +160 °C and sensing of joystick fields.

The MLX90378GGO-ABJ-300 is part of the MLX90378 family, described by the manufacturer as a triaxis performance 3D and joystick position sensor IC, dual output (SENT / PWM). During board bring-up, air gap and magnet grade together set the field seen by the die, so a tolerance stack-up is worth doing before the mechanical design is frozen.
