The MLX90373 enables customers to implement the PSI5 protocol in their products. This is useful for many applications like chassis height sensors and some steering applications. The 2-wire bus capability can help to reduce wire harness count while the ability to...

Thanks to an integrated magnetic concentrator (IMC) on its surface, the monolithic device senses, in a contactless fashion, the three spatial components (i.e. Bx, By and Bz) of the applied magnetic field allowing for the determination of rotary and linear movement. Triaxis - Melexis Triaxis® is an innovative magnetic sensor technology capable of very precise three axis magnetic field measurements from a single sensor. Endless linear, angular and 3D applications can be developed. The MLX90373 expands the Gen III portfolio by offering a PSI5 output complementing the analog, PWM, and SENT outputs available on the MLX90371 and MLX90372 devices. Offering a rotary mode with stray field robustness (180 degrees) it is suitable for applications subjected to stray fields like those found in electrified vehicle drivetrains. An additional non-stray field robust mode of operation is also offered to support backwards compatibility with previous magnetic designs. ASIL Ready - Melexis The MLX90373 is offered as an ASIL-C SEooC (Safety Element out of Context - ISO 26262) component.
