Triaxis® Magnetic pico-resolver

The MLX90381 offers intelligent solutions for innovative products. Beyond small, the world’s first pico-resolver. High-speed operation and flexible positioning thanks to proven Triaxis® technology. It is optimized for robust motor design: smallest-footprint, programmable-at-module-level, cost-effective, and-ASIL-ready.

With a wide operating temperature and magnetic flux density range, the MLX90381 can resolve the angular position of a rotating axis over 360 degrees in many industrial and automotive applications. With a low response time and latency, the MLX90381 can measure rotational speeds of more than 50’000 e-rpm (Electrical at Hall plates).

Design

The MLX90381 is a 3D magnetic resolver IC measuring rotational speeds of 50’000 e-rpm (Electrical at Hall plates). It is optimized for robust motor design: smallest footprint, programmable at module level, cost-effective and ASIL-ready.

Develope

Is a monolithic contactless sensor IC sensitive to the flux density applied in three dimensions (X, Y, Z) to the IC. Two, selectable, axes can be mapped to the two high-speed analog outputs allowing the MLX90381 to be used for on-axis and off-axis (through-shaft) position sensing when paired with a moving permanent magnet.

Application

With its 3.3V supply, high speed, small size, and flexible configuration the MLX90381 is ideal for use in motor control applications when paired with a suitable microcontroller.
