Melexis Triaxis Linear & Rotary Position Sensor Gen.III
ASIL-C | 2x PWM / SENT | Multipoint characteristic | Temperature -40...+160°C (Automotive)
Melexis Triaxis 3D Linear & Rotary Position Sensor MLX90374 Gen.III
Single-DIE/Dual-OUT | Immune to stray fields | ASIL-C | optionally with SENT or redundant PWM output | optionally 2x switching output | +160°C
ASIL-C capable, absolute measuring linear and rotary position sensor with
Melexis Triaxis technology and IMC-disk (Integrated Magnetic Concentrator) based
on the Hall effect. Suitable for non-contact linear and rotary position sensing
as well as 1/2 joysticks or travel levers.
Depending on the version, the sensors are immune to stray fields (Stray Field Immune)
or behave like Triaxis sensors of the previous generation (Standard/Legacy). The
PWM signal is redundant, whereby the functional or failure safety of the signal path
can be increased (Single-DIE/Dual-OUT).
A simple axial or diametral magnet is sufficient for control of the
standard/legacy variant.
If stray field robustness of a rotating application is needed, a four-pole-pair
disk or ring magnet is required in combination with a Rotary Stray Field Immune variant.
