2. Description
The MLX90324 is a monolithic sensor IC featuring the Tria⊗is® Hall technology. Conventional planar Hall
technology is only sensitive to the flux density applied orthogonally to the IC surface. The Tria⊗is® Hall
sensor is also sensitive to the flux density applied parallel to the IC surface. This is obtained through an
Integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC) which is deposited on the CMOS die (as an additional back-end
step).
The MLX90324 is only sensitive to the flux density coplanar with the IC surface. This allows the
MLX90324 with the correct magnetic circuit to decode the absolute rotary (angular) position from 0 to 360
Degrees. It enables the design of novel generation of non-contacting rotary position sensors that are
frequently required for both automotive and industrial applications.
In combination with the appropriate signal processing, the magnetic flux density of a small magnet
(diametral magnetization) rotating above the IC can be measured in a non-contacting way (Figure 2). The
angular information is computed from both vectorial components of the flux density (i.e. BX and BY).
MLX90324 produces an output signal proportional to the decoded angle. The output is selectable between
Analog, PWM and SENT (SAE-J2716) Protocol.
Figure 2 - Typical application of MLX90324
The MLX90324 is similar to the MLX90316 in many ways but it is targeted for “Under-the-Hood”
applications and the associated harsh hi-temperature environment. Amongst others, the hi-temperature
performances and the SENT feature confirm this devotion.

6. Detailed Description
As described on the block diagram (Figure 1 and Figure 2), the magnetic flux density parallel to the IC
surface is sensed through the Tria⊗is® sensor front-end. This front-end consists into two orthogonal pairs
(for each of the two directions parallel with the IC surface i.e. X and Y) of conventional planar Hall plates
(blue area on Figure 3) and an Integrated Magneto-Concentrator (IMC yellow disk on Figure 3).

Those Hall signals are processed through a fully differential analog chain featuring the classic offset
cancellation technique (Hall plate quadrature spinning and chopper-stabilized amplifier).
The conditioned analog signals are converted through an ADC (configurable − 14 or 15 bits) and provided
to a DSP block for further processing. The DSP stage is based on a 16 bit RISC micro-controller whose
primary function is the extraction of the angular position from the two raw signals (after so-called front-end
compensation steps) through the following operation:
V
α = ATAN Y
VX
The DSP functionality is governed by the micro-code (firmware − F/W) of the micro-controller which is
stored into the ROM (mask programmable). In addition to the ″ATAN″ function, the F/W controls the whole
analog chain, the output transfer characteristic, the output protocol, the programming/calibration and also
the self-diagnostic modes.
In the MLX90324, the ″ATAN″ function is computed via a look-up table (i.e. it is not obtained through a
CoRDiC algorithm - Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer [i.e. iterative rectangular-to-polar transform])
Due to the fact that the ″ATAN″ operation is performed on the ratio ″VY/VX″, the angular information is
intrinsically self-compensated vs. flux density variations (due to airgap change, thermal or ageing effects)
affecting both signals. This feature allows therefore an improved thermal accuracy vs. rotary position
sensor based on conventional linear Hall sensors.
In addition to the improved thermal accuracy, the realized rotary position sensor is capable of measuring a
complete revolution (360 Degrees) and the linearity performances are excellent taking into account typical
manufacturing tolerances (e.g. relative placement between the Hall IC and the magnet).
Once the angular information is computed (over 360 degrees), it is further conditioned (mapped) vs. the
target transfer characteristic and it is provided at the output(s) as:
• an analog output level through a 12 bit DAC followed by a buffer
• a digital PWM signal with 12 bit depth (programmable frequency 100 Hz … 1 kHz)
• a digital SENT Protocol Telegram
For instance, the analog output can be programmed for offset, gain and clamping to meet any rotary
position sensor output transfer characteristic:
Vout(α) = ClampLo
Vout(α) = Voffset + Gain × α
Vout(α) = ClampHi
for α ≤ αmin
for αmin ≤ α ≤ αmax
for α ≥ αmax
where Voffset, Gain, ClampLo and ClampHi are the main adjustable parameters for the end-user.
The linear part of the transfer curve can be adjusted through either a 2 point or a 3 point calibration
depending on the linearity requirement.
A digital output is also available and used as a programmable angular switch.
The calibration parameters are stored in EEPROM featuring a Hamming Error Correction Coding (ECC).
The programming steps do not require any dedicated pins. The operation is done using the supply and
output nodes of the IC. The programming of the MLX90324 is handled at both engineering lab and
production line levels by the Melexis Programming Unit PTC-04 with the dedicated MLX90316/90324
daughterboard and software tools (DLL − User Interface).

information (output of the DSP). See Front End Application Note for more details. This is only valid if automatic gain is set (See
Section 14.4.2)
12 For instance, Thermal Drift of Sensitivity Mismatch equal ± 0.4% yields to max. ± 0.1 Deg. angular error for the computed
angular information (output of the DSP). See Front End Application Note for more details.
13 The Intrinsic Linearity Error refers to the IC itself (offset, sensitivity mismatch, orthogonality) taking into account an ideal
rotating field. Once associated to a practical magnetic construction and the associated mechanical and magnetic tolerances, the
output linearity error increases. However, it can be improved with the multi point end-user calibration that is available on the
MLX90324.
14 The application diagram used is described in the recommended wiring. For detailed information, refer to section Filter in
application mode (Section 14.5).
15 Jitter is defined by ± 3 σ for 1000 successive acquisitions and the slope of the transfer curve is 100%DC/360 Deg.

14.1.1. Analog Output Mode
The Analog Output Mode is a rail-to-rail and ratiometric output with a push-pull output stage configuration
allows the use of a pull-up or pull-down resistor.
14.1.2. PWM Output Mode
If one of the PWM Output modes is selected, the output signal is a digital signal with Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM).
In mode 5, the output stage is an open drain NMOS transistor (low side), to be used with a pull-up resistor
to VDD.
In mode 6, the output stage is an open drain PMOS transistor (high side), to be used with a pull-down
resistor.
In mode 7, the output stage is a push-pull stage.
The PWM polarity is selected by the PWMPOL1 parameter:
•
•
PWMPOL1 = 0 for a low level at 100%
PWMPOL1 = 1 for a high level at 100%
The PWM frequency is selected by the PWM_Freq parameter.

14.1.3. SENT Output Mode
The MLX90324 features a digital SENT (SAE-J2716) Protocol Mode. The rolling counter can be
enabled/disabled by the ROLLCNT bit:
• ROLLCNT = 0 to enable the rolling counter
• ROLLCNT = 1 to disable the rolling counter
See the dedicated SENT Protocol section for a full description (Section 16).

The switch is activated (Sw_lo) when the digital angle is greater than the value stored in the KD
parameter. This angle refers to the internal angular reference linked to the parameter DP and not to the
absolute physical 0° angle.
The KDHYST defines the hysteresis amplitude around the Switch point. The switch is actually activated if
the digital angle is greater than KD+KDHYST. It is deactivated if the digital angle is less than
KD-KDHYST.
The mandatory application diagram to use this feature is depicted in the Figure 7. See section 7 for the
electrical characteristic.
If the Switch feature is not used in the application, the output pin needs to be connected to the ground.

14.2.2. Discontinuity Point (or Zero Degree Point)
The Discontinuity Point defines the 0° point on the circle. The discontinuity point places the origin at any
location of the trigonometric circle. The DP is used as reference for all the angular measurements.
360°
0°
The placement of the discontinuity
point (0 point) is programmable.
Figure 8 - Discontinuity Point Positioning
14.2.3. 3-Point LNR Parameters
The LNR parameters, together with the clamping values, fully define the relation (the transfer function)
between the digital angle and the output signal.
The shape of the MLX90324 transfer function from the digital angle value to the output voltage is
described by the drawing below. Six segments can be programmed but the clamping levels are
necessarily flat.
Two, three, or even five calibration points are then available, reducing the overall non-linearity of the IC by
almost an order of magnitude each time. Three or five point calibration will be preferred by customers
looking for excellent non-linearity figures. Two-point calibrations will be preferred by customers looking for
a cheaper calibration set-up and shorter calibration time.

14.2.5. CLAMPING Parameters
The clamping levels are two independent values to limit the output voltage range. The CLAMP_LOW
parameter adjusts the minimum output voltage level. The CLAMP_HIGH parameter sets the maximum
output voltage level. Both parameters have 16 bits of adjustment with a resolution of approximately 0.076
mV.
14.2.6. DEADZONE Parameter
The dead zone is defined as the angle window between 0 and 359.9999.
When the digital angle lies in this zone, the IC is in fault mode (RESONFAULT must be set to “1” – See
14.6.1).

14.4.1. HIGHSPEED Parameter
The HIGHSPEED and MEDIUMSPEED parameters define the main frequency for the DSP.
• HIGHSPEED = 0, MEDIUMSPEED = 0 select the Slow mode with a 5.5 MHz master clock.
• HIGHSPEED = 0, MEDIUMSPEED = 1 select the Medium mode with a 10 MHz master clock.
• HIGHSPEED = 1, MEDIUMSPEED = 0 select the Fast mode with a 16 MHz master clock.
For better noise performance, the Slow Mode must be enabled.
14.4.2. AGC and Virtual Gain Parameters
The AGC parameter enables the automatic gain control of the analog chain. The AGC loop is based on
(VX)²+ (VY)² = (Amplitude)² = (Radius)²
and it targets an amplitude of 90% of the ADC input span.
If AGC is “0”, the gain stored in the parameter GAINMIN is used.
Melexis strongly recommends to use AGC = 1.
Please note that the angular errors listed in the section 10 are only valid if the AGC is activated. AGC
avoids also the saturation of the analog chain and the associated linearity error.
The current gain (VG) can be read out with the PTC-04 and gives a rough indication of the applied
magnetic flux density (Amplitude).

FSWAP
The MLX90324 includes 3 types of filters:
• Hysteresis Filter: programmable by the FHYST parameter
• Low Pass FIR Filters controlled with the Filter parameter
• Low Pass IIR Filter
Note: if the parameter FSWAP is set to “1”, the filtering is active on the digital angle. If set to “0”, the
filtering is active on the output transfer function.
14.5.1. Hysteresis Filter
The FHYST parameter is a hysteresis filter. The output value of the IC is not updated when the digital step
is smaller than the programmed FHYST parameter value. The output value is modified when the
increment is bigger than the hysteresis. The hysteresis filter reduces therefore the resolution to a level
compatible with the internal noise of the IC. The hysteresis must be programmed to a value close to the
noise level.
Please note that for the programmable version, the FHYST parameter is set to 4 by default. If you do not
wish this feature, please set it to “0”.
14.5.2. FIR Filters
The MLX90324 features 6 FIR filter modes controlled with Filter = 0…5. The transfer function is described

This RESONFAULT parameter enables the soft reset when a fault is detected by the CPU when the
parameter is set to 1. By default, the parameter is set to “0” but it is recommended to set it to “1” to
activate the self diagnostic modes (See section 15).
Note that in the User Interface (MLX90324UI), the RESONFAULT is split in two bits:
• DRESONFAULT: disable the reset in case of a fault.
• DOUTINFAULT: disable output in diagnostic low in case of fault.
14.6.2. EEHAMHOLE Parameter
The EEHAMHOLE parameter disables the memory recovery (Hamming code) check when a fault is

SENT (SAE-J2716) Protocol
16.1. Introduction
The MLX90324 features an output mode reporting the angular information and other diagnostic
information (e.g. CRC) into a SENT telegram compliant with the approved SAE-J2716 Surface Vehicle
Information Report.
SENT stands for Single Edge Nibble Transmission as the SENT telegram consists into the transmission of
8 Nibbles (1 nibble = 4 bits) in a row, each nibble being coded in a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) way
with reference to the falling edge.
The Single Edge Nibble Transmission encoding scheme is intended for use in applications where high
resolution sensor data needs to be communicated from a sensor to an Electronic Control Unit (ECU). It is
intended as a replacement for the lower resolution methods of 10 bit A/D’s and PWM.
SENT is a point-to-point (i.e. it is not a data bus) unidirectional communications scheme from sensor
(transmitting device) to controller (receiving device) which does not include a coordination signal from the
controller/receiving device. The sensor signal is transmitted as a series of pulses with data measured as
falling to falling edge times. Transmission occurs independently of any action of the receiver module, i.e.
the transmission does not require a synchronization signal from the receiver module.
16.2. SENT Protocol Definition
The encoding scheme consists of a sequence of pulses which is repeatedly sent by the transmitting
module.
The time granularity of the transmission is defined as the Clock Tick which is specified as follows:
3 µs ≤ Clock Tick ≤ 10 µs
Each nibble is defined in a PWM way:
•
•
the output is first driven LOW (falling edge) for 5 Clock Ticks,
then driven HIGH for 7 Clock Ticks + n × Clock Ticks where n is the decimal value of the nibble.
For a nibble value of 0 (minimum), the output is driven LOW for 5 Clock Ticks then driven HIGH for 7
Clock Ticks. Total period for the shortest nibble (n = 0) is therefore 12 Clock Ticks. See Figure 13.
For a nibble value of 15 (maximum), the output is driven LOW for 5 Clock Ticks then driven HIGH for 22
Clock Ticks. Total period for the longest nibble (n = 15) is therefore 27 Clock Ticks. See Figure 14.

Time (Clock Ticks)
Figure 15 – Single SENT Message Transmission
The transmission delay of one message depends on the content of the nibbles but the minimum and
maximum boundaries are 152 Clock Ticks (456 µs if Clock Tick = 3 µs) and 272 Clock Ticks (816 µs if
Clock Tick = 3 µs).
The “Calibration/Synchronization” pulse period is measured by the receiver in order to calculate the actual
duration of the Clock Tick. In this way, the frequency variations of the main oscillator at the transmitter (i.e.
the sensor) can be compensated. The allowable frequency variation is ± 20%.
The “Status and Communication” nibble is used to transmit internal status or diagnostic information. The
content varies according to the SENT implementation (see Section 16.3 for the implemented SENT
version of MLX90324).
The “Checksum” nibble contains a 4 bit CRC of the Data nibbles only. The “Status and Communication
4
3
2
Nibble” is not included in the CRC calculation. The CRC is calculated using polynomial x + x + x + 1
with seed value of 0101.

16.3. SENT Protocol Implementation
The MLX90324 implements the Single Secure Sensors format described in the Appendix (Section A.3) of
SAE-J2716 definition.
The Clock Tick is specified at 3 µs.
The angular information (12 bits) is spread over 3 data nibbles. A 8-bit rolling counter 0 to 255 with
rollover back to 0 is included in 2 data nibbles. The last data nibble is derived from the 1st data nibble
including the MSBs (Most Significant Bits) of the computed angle.
•
Nibble #1 = “Status” Nibble
o
o
When the sensor is determined to be faulted, Bit 0 of the Status Nibble is set to 1
otherwise bit set to 0
Bit 1, Bit 2 and Bit 3 are set to 0.
•
Nibble #2 = Angular Information – MSN (Most Significant Nibble)
•
Nibble #3 = Angular Information – MidN (Middle Nibble)
•
Nibble #4 = Angular Information – LSN (Least Significant Nibble)
•
Nibble #5 = 8 bit rolling counter – MSN (Most Significant Nibble)
•
Nibble #6 = 8 bit rolling counter – LSN (Least Significant Nibble)
•
Nibble #7 = Inverted copy of Nibble #2 (15 – Nibble #2 value)
•
Nibble #8 = “Checksum” Nibble
The rolling counter can be disabled (to match the “single sensor” format of the Appendix A.4 of the SAEJ2716): in this case, Nibble #5 and Nibble #6 are set to 0. See in the End-User programmable item to see
how to disable it (Section 14.1.3)
16.4. Use of the MLX90324 SENT Feature
In order to enable the SENT output reporting mode, specific parameters (stored in EEPROM) of the
MLX90324 needs to be programmed. While using the Melexis programming tools, the whole operation is
actually controlled through a single item as described on Section 14.1.3.
The SAE-J2716 recommends a generic application diagram for both the transmitter and the receiver in
order to pass the EMC norms, especially the emissions (e.g. radiated emission, conducted emission)
requirements.
This recommended circuitry applied to the MLX90324LDC (single die – SOIC-8) is shown at the Section
17.4 and MLX90324LGO (dual die – TSSOP-16) is shown at the Section 17.5.
