The programming voltage defines the threshold at which the ASIC goes into PTC mode, where the output pin becomes
bidirectional. Write access is eventually defined by the locking bits as described in subsequent sections.
2
The overvoltage threshold will disconnect all internal supplies (Vana, Vdig & Vprot) from VDD; the output becomes
high impedant.
3
The saturation voltage is the rail voltage the output amplifier can reach actively with R PD connected.
4
The maximum current the output stage can deliver to keep its DC value, in case the output is pulled to one of the rails
by means of an external power supply, while V DD = 5V.

The leakage current is in fact the current sourced by the output in case of an OBD detection (broken ground), where
the output goes into high-Z mode. For better contacting at the connectors over lifetime and bigger rail -to-rail
operation, the smaller pull-down resistors from this specification are recommended at ECU side.
6
Startup time is defined as the time between crossing the POR level and having the first DAC output update. It includes
loading of the parameters from EEPROM, checking the CRC validity, initializations and the signal latency between the
first Hall plate acquisition and the DAC output update.
7
Filtering is programmable with the FILTCODE parameter in EEPROM. The filter consists of an IIR filter in the digital. For
more details about the corresponding bandwidths, see subsequent sections.

Rise and fall times are measured for worst case conditions, hence the difference in Rload for both parameters. These
specifications are only defined by the output amplifier and its load. The output amplifier (Gain=2) is given a step
response at the input from 5%VDD to 45%VDD and the rise/fall times are measured as the time between reaching 10%
and 90% of the step response DC output voltages (10%VDD to 90%VDD).

Please refer to subsequent sections for more detailed information.

The full-scale output corresponds to 100%Vdd output range. This corresponds to 100% of the ADC range when
FINEGAIN is set to 1 (1024LSB) in a bipolar application. The DSP chain can additionally increase sensitivity by a factor 4 .

Ratiometric performance of the IC is measured as a difference in output voltage (expressed as %VDD) between the
nominal case with VDD = 5V and the limits of the supply ratiometric operating range (4.5V and 5.5V). The difference
between TEMPTC = 0 (or TEMPSENSOR disabled altogether) and TEMPTC = 128 originates in the fact that the on-chip
temperature is also a function of the supply voltage. Since the TEMPTC changes the gain of the IC to compensate for the
magnet TC, and it relies on the fact that the on-chip temperature is the same as the magnet temperature, an extra
error occurs compared to TEMPTC = 0 case.
13
The noise measurements are performed on the recommended application diagram depicted under Section 10, with a
supply voltage of 5V at room temperature. Increased capacitance values compared to the recommended application
diagram, contribute to lower output noise. For peak-to-peak values, the RMS value is typically multiplied by a factor of
6.

The Sensitivity Thermal Drift is within these boundaries for all ICs with the default setting for gain compensation i.e.
fixed to 1, which is obtained by setting TEMPTC to 0, but leaving the TEMPSENSOR bit set (see Subsequent Section). If
the value is not fixed to 1, the sensitivity of the IC will exhibit a sensitivity thermal drift curve such as the one shown i n
the section on magnet compensation (if SECONDORDERTC is set) or with a linear temperature coefficient (if
SECONDORDERTC is cleared) depending on the setting of TEMPTC, but ±150ppm/°C.
15
This limit is an indication of what can be achieved for a typical magnet. The main assumption is that the magnet
strength monotonically decreases over temperature. Then, the 2nd order implementation as described in subsequent
sections has been designed to work up to ferrite magnets with a magnet TC of -2000ppm/°C. Please contact Melexis
when in doubt over the achievable specification for your magnet.
16
ADC clipping is only flagged if the FAULTONCLIP bit in EEPROM is set. If the bit is cleared, the ADC will clamp at either
the maximum code or the minimum code, depending on the clipping condition. Reporti ng after 4 sequential clipping
conditions is required for an EMC robust design. Clipping reporting does not apply to ADC values of the temperature
signal.

13. Startup, Undervoltage, Overvoltage and Reset Specification
During power-up (supply rising from 0V upwards) the MLX90288 remains in a zone where the output is
undefined (grey triangular area in the plot) because there is no active circuitry putting the output stage in a
specific condition. Most likely the output remains close to the low rail because of the passive external pulldown, but it cannot be predicted what happens exactly inside the IC at this point. This is also depicted in the
signal waveforms of this section.
The POR phase is the phase where the supply is still below VPORRISE, but above the undefined region. In
this case the digital is in a reset state, which puts all flip-flops in a known state, and the output is high
impedant. Due to the external pull-down resistive load, the output is at the low rail.
When the supply rises above the VPORRISE threshold (which has built-in hysteresis: for the falling edge,
VPORFALL), an initialization occurs which includes loading all EEPROM settings into RAM. After this
initialization phase, the chip will start its FSM program and provide a valid output signal, for as long as the
supply voltage is above the VUNDERRISE threshold (which has built-in hysteresis: for the falling edge,
VUNDERFALL). If the supply is below this threshold, the output remains in high impedant stat e,
corresponding to an output voltage at the low rail.
Whenever the MLX90288 goes from normal operation to undervoltage or via undervoltage to reset state,
and vice versa, the output has a settling time which is a function of both the output load and the driving
capability. On top of this, there is a startup time (tSTARTUP) in case the chip comes out of reset.
17
Diagnostics that are the result of a passive settling because the output stage becomes high impedant (such as broken
wire) are governed by the RC time constant of the capacitive load on the output and the R PD resistor at ECU side. The
OBD detection time is negligible in comparison to the settling time in case of a broken wire. The settling time should be
taken as 4 times the RC time constant. E.g. with a load of 330nF and 330kOhm, the RC time constant equals 109ms.
Settling time then corresponds to 4 RC time constants, i.e. 436ms.

Figure 2: Operating, undervoltage and reset functionality
In case the supply is raised above the VPROGRISE threshold (which has built-in hysteresis: for the falling
edge, VPROGFALL), but below the VOVER threshold, the IC goes in programming mode: the output becomes
high impedant and after proper commands coming from the programming unit (PTC04), the IC can respond
on the output pin as well. The communication protocol on the output (PTC -04 communication) is bidirectional. If the supply is higher than the VOVER threshold, the internal regulated supply is disconnected
from the external supply, as are most blocks of the IC. A reset will be the result when the supply is restored.

15.1. EEPROM Description
All calibration parameters on the MLX90288 are stored in a 32 x 16bit non-volatile EEPROM.
The EEPROM parameters from the first 29 addresses are stored with triple redundancy, to correct if any
EEPROM bit would lose its content, by using majority voting. Consequently, an EEPROM word in this part of
EEPROM only holds the information of 5 calibration bits + 1 locking bit at index 15. The EEPROM word stored
at address 0 thus looks like this:
{LOCK0,PARAM[4:0],PARAM[4:0],PARAM[4:0]}
If bit index 15 is set, the EEPROM word is permanently locked, making i t impossible to overwrite the given
address in PTC mode.
ID bits from the last 3 addresses are not stored with redundancy. The MLXID is not programmable in PTC
mode, hence guaranteeing traceability of the parts.
There are no constraints on the EEPROM readout in PTC mode.
By default a part from the Melexis factory is delivered with the EEPROM delivered in a dual-redundancy
configuration. The third redundancy is utilized for additional calibration parameters at end of line
programming. Upon programming the sensor all parameters are covered by triple redundancy as described
above.

If the digital regulated voltage drops below POR level, the ASIC will reset nearly immediately; this is a necessity from
a DFMEA point of view. The only way to make the ASIC immune for longer micro-interrupts is to have external
components (Rseries and Csupply) filtering these micro-interrupts for the ASIC. Introducing an Rseries in the supply line
will have a negative impact on ratiometricity.

ESD HBM test performed on all pins according to JEDEC-22-A-114 standard.

ESD CDM test performed on all pins according to AEC-Q100-011 standard.

16. Thermal Sensitivity Drift Compensation
16.1. Introduction
The embedded temperature sensor is digitized via the main path ADC before each analog amplified Hall
sensor voltage ADC in case TEMPSENSOR is enabled. This temperature information is used to generate either
an address for a ROM Look-up Table to obtain a quadratic temperature compensation (SECONDORDERTC=1),
or a value proportional to the temperature that allows a linear IC gain compensation (SECONDORDERTC=0).
Both compensations rely on the TEMPOFF and TEMPTC parameters.
16.2. Linear Compensation (1st Order)
The conventional linear temperature compensation proves to be adequate for small application temperature
ranges and/or small magnet temperature coefficients. In such cases the error induced by the linear approach
are limited and prove to be good enough for the desired system sensitivity drift.
16.3. Quadratic Compensation (2nd Order) - CAA
This look up table is stored in ROM and contains the inverse transfer function of a specific magnetic flux
density over temperature. It should be used for magnets with temperature coefficients lower than -1500
ppm/degC, as is typically the case for plastic bonded magnets. Such magnet temperature coefficients cannot
optimally be compensated by the linear method. However, Melexis tooling together with the stored
compensation characteristic enable improved thermal drift compensation.
The correction factor GainMag is multiplied with the measured magnetic flux density. This multiplication
results in a (nearly) temperature independent sensitivity of the entire system (magnet + IC).

16.4. Quadratic Compensation (2nd Order) - CAB and DAA versions
This look up table is stored in ROM and contains the inverse transfer function of a specific magnetic flux
density over temperature. It should be used for magnets with temperature coefficients lower than -2000
ppm/degC, as is typically the case for plastic bonded ferrite magnets. Such magnet temperature coefficients
cannot optimally be compensated by the linear method. However, Melexis tooling together with the stored
compensation characteristic enable improved thermal drift compensation.

The factory calibration performed by Melexis targets a specific magnet TC, which serves as accurate basis for
any delta calibration that should be performed when using a magnet with a different TC. This is performed
via the solver software provided by Melexis. The solver enables customers to address different sections in
the lookup table for different temperature ranges. This flexibility is to ensure a good match between magnet
TC and applied compensation.
