Description

The MLX90366 Triaxis® Position Sensor Assembly is a high accuracy linear and angular position sensor

which eliminates need for inclusion of a printed circuit board (PCB) within sensing modules.

This device is based on a Dual Mold Package (DMP) construction, which integrates a Triaxis position

sensing die together with the decoupling capacitors necessary to meet the strenuous ESD and EMC

requirements. No PCB is needed.

The Triaxis® Position Sensing Die is nothing but the one used for the MLX90367 in conventional surface-

mount packages (SOIC-8

– single die & TSSOP-16 – dual die).

The decoupling capacitors are X8R capacitors well suited for package integration and the target operating

temperature range.

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.

MLX90366 provides SENT Frames encoded according the Secure Sensor format.

The circuit delivers enhanced serial messages providing error codes, and user-defined values.

MLX90366 Triaxis® Position Sensor Assembly enables the realization of position sensor modules for

which a PCB is no longer needed: this yield to an increase of the electrical, mechanical and environmental

robustness of the final application.
