MLX90360
Triaxis^® Position Sensor IC
2. Description
The MLX90360 is a monolithic sensor IC sensitive to the flux density applied orthogonally and parallel to
the IC surface.
The MLX90360 is sensitive to the three components of the flux density applied to the IC (i.e. B_X, B_Y and
B_Z). This allows the MLX90360 with the correct magnetic circuit to decode the absolute position of any
moving magnet (e.g. rotary position from 0 to 360 Degrees or linear displacement, stroke - Figure 2). It
enables the design of novel generation of non-contacting position sensors that are frequently required for
both automotive and industrial applications.
MLX90360 reports a programmable ratiometric analog output signal compatible with any resistive
potentiometer or programmable linear Hall sensor. Through programming, the MLX90360 provides also a
digital PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) output characteristic.
