Overview

The MLX90316 is a contactless rotary position sensor IC utilizing Melexis Triaxis Hall technology to detect the absolute angular position of a small magnet. It provides a ratiometric analog output proportional to the rotary position from 0 to 360 degrees, featuring a programmable transfer characteristic to suit specific mechanical configurations.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor features 12-bit angular resolution and 10-bit thermal accuracy across a wide -40 to 125 degree Celsius operating range. Its non-contact Hall effect design is immune to mechanical wear, and the Triaxis technology allows for simplified magnetic circuit designs compared to traditional single-axis sensors.

Applications

Steering Linkage Monitoring
Provides non-contact feedback for electronic power steering and chassis height sensors in automotive environments.
Throttle Position Sensing
Replaces traditional potentiometers in engine control systems to eliminate mechanical wear and improve long-term reliability.
Valve Actuators
Enables precise angular feedback for industrial flow control valves and HVAC dampers.
Joystick Controls
Offers high-resolution 360-degree position tracking for rugged industrial human-machine interfaces.
