Melexis Triaxis Linear & Rotary Position Sensor Gen.III
ASIL-B, Analog/PWM, Multipoint characteristic curve, Temperature -40...+160°C (Automotive)
Melexis Triaxis 3D Linear & Rotary Position Sensor MLX90371 Gen.III
Immune to stray fields | ASIL-B | optionally with analog or PWM output | +160°C
ASIL-B 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 standard/legacy versions are function- and pin-compatible with the
previous generation.
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.
