Rotary position sensor MLX90422

linearnon-contactmagnetic

The MLX90422 is a magnetic position sensor suited for demanding but cost-conscious automotive applications. It supports rotary or linear motions of the magnet, with SENT output. Top features SENT output (SAE J2716 APR2016) ISO 26262 ASIL-B SEooC (Safety Element out of Context) Programmable measurement range Product description The MLX90422 is a magnetic position sensor designed for use in cost-sensitive automotive applications including powertrain actuators, pedal positioning, fuel level gauges and transmission systems, though also suitable for industrial implementations. The MLX9042x devices have superior capabilities in terms of functional safety, Absolute Maximum Ratings (AMR) and electromagnetic compliance (EMC) characteristics. They also support operating temperature up to 160 °C. The MLX90422 is pin-to-pin compatible with the previous generations of Triaxis® position sensor ICs. The MLX90422 is a monolithic magnetic position processor ICs. It consists of a Triaxis® Hall magnetic front end, an analog to digital signal conditioner, a DSP for advanced signal processing and an output stage driver. The MLX90422 is sensitive to the three components of the magnetic flux density applied to the ICs (i.e. Bx, By and Bz). This allows the MLX90422 with the correct magnetic circuit to decode the absolute position of any moving magnet (e.g. rotary position from 0 to 360 Degrees). It enables the design of non-contacting position sensors that are frequently required for both automotive and industrial applications.
