Melexis MLX90363 Triaxis® Magnetometer Position Sensor ICs

Melexis MLX90363 Triaxis® Magnetometer Sensor ICs offer sensitivity to the flux density applied orthogonally or parallel to the IC surface. Thanks to an integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC) on its surface, these monolithic devices sense 3 spatial components (BX, BY, and BZ) of the applied magnetic flux density. This unique, contactless sensing principle allows the MLX90363 to sense any magnet moving in its surroundings and decode the position through appropriate signal processing.

Using the Serial Interface, the MLX90363 can transmit a digital output of 64-bits per frame. 3D, rotary, linear, or even mixed mode implementations can be accomplished through embedded Software in the user’s microcontroller. Data from the on-chip temperature sensor and from the internal chip diagnostics can also be digitally transmitted. Programming happens through the same channel. These sensor ICs are available in both Single Die SOIC-8 and Dual Die (fully redundant) TSSOP-16 packages.
