Description
The MLX91221 is an Integrated Current Sensor that
senses the current flowing through the low
impedance leadframe of the SOIC package. By
virtue of fixing the current conductor position with
respect to the monolithic CMOS sensor, a fully
integrated Hall-effect current sensor is obtained,
that is factory calibrated.
Inside the package, the magnetic flux density
generated by the current flow is sensed
differentially by two sets of Hall plates. As a result
the influence of external disturbing fields is
minimized in the fast analog front-end. The
residual signal is amplified to provide a high-speed
linear analog output voltage.
The close proximity of the Hall plates to the current
conductor ensures a high signal-to-noise ratio and
an accurate signal over temperature. With this
miniaturization, high voltage isolation ratings are
still maintained between the primary and their
opposing secondary side leads of the package.

(1) Bipolar output indicates that the sensor provides a symmetrical output around the 0A point which is set at half the output
voltage (50% V DD) in case of ratiometric mode, and V REF equals 50%V DD in case of fixed mode. Both designs imply sensing
of positive and negative currents.

2. Functional Diagram
Figure 1: Functional Diagram for MLX91221
The sensor can be used in 2 different modes, depending on the application. Both modes rely on the output voltage
of the sensor being proportional to the flow of current, but the difference resides in the signal reconstruction.
Ratiometric Mode
Figure 2: Schematic of ratiometric mode
No matter if the VDD line is at 3.3V or deviating +/-5%, the ADC code for a given measured current will always be
the same as the ADC is supplied by the same voltage as the sensor. The sensor has a sensitivity expressed in %VDD/A.

Datasheet
Differential or Fixed Mode(1)
Figure 3: Schematic of fixed mode
In this particular case the ADC does not necessarily share the same supply voltage with the sensor. For this reason,
the sensor is calibrated with an absolute sensitivity regardless of the actual supply voltage. The output signal can
be reconstructed by taking the difference between the output and the reference voltage from the IC. The ADC gets
these two signals as inputs for establishing the sensed current accurately, and is not influenced by the supply
voltage differences between both sensor and microcontroller, if applicable.
Parameter
Output Signal
Ratiometric Mode
Differential or Fixed Mode
VOUT [%VDD]
VOUT-VREF [V]
Example: output is 1.65V when supply is
3.3 V → output is then 50%VDD. If the
supply (VDD) increases with 5% to 3.465
V the sensor output will (for the same
measured input current) scale
ratiometrically with the supply voltage,
becoming 1.733 V which is a different
voltage than when the supply was 3.3 V,
but as a percentage (i.e. ratiometrically
seen) it remains at the same level of
50% of VDD.
Example: output is 1.651 and VREF is
1.651V when supply is 3.3 V. When the
supply voltage is increasing to 3.4 V
due to supply system variation over
temperature, the sensor will still
maintain the same “fixed” output
values VOUT and VREF.

(1) Common Mode Field Sensitivity expresses the sensor's susceptibility to a homogenously applied field perpendicular to the
package surface. The differential measurement cancels out such common mode magnetic fields, but due to the matching
between both Hall plate clusters flanking the current conductor, this is not perfect. This parameter expresses the mA
output error as a result of such 1 mT applied field. It has to be noted, that magnetic fields generated by nearby
conductors are not homogenous but introduce gradients. More information in this regard can be found in Application

Thermal Offset Drift
ΔTVOQ corresponds to variation of V OQ in temperature.
Sensitivity
The sensitivity is the ratio between the output of the MLX91221 and the input current.
For ratiometric devices, as the output will scale with the supply, sensitivity is expressed as [%VDD]/A.
For fixed devices, the output does not vary with the VDD, sensitivity is thus expressed as mV/A.
Linearity Error
The linearity error is the deviation of the output from the expected linear behaviour. To obtain the linearity
error, the current is swept from -𝐼𝑃𝑀 to 𝐼𝑃𝑀 . To decorrelate the thermal drift from the linearity error, the
junction temperature should be fixed below 50°C.

Datasheet
11. MLX91221 Overcurrent Detection
11.1. General
The MLX91221 provides two OCD features that allow detecting overcurrent applied on the integrated
sensor primary. In case of OCD detection, the OCD INT or OCD EXT is pulled to ground. During normal operation
the OCD voltage remains at VDD. This OCD feature is available for SOIC16 version only.
The two OCD functions are able to react to an overcurrent event within few us of response time. To avoid
false alarm, the overcurrent has to be maintained at least 1µs for the detection to occur. After detection
by the sensor the output flag is maintained for 10µs of dwell time. This allows the overcurrent to be easily
detected at microcontroller level. More information can be found in Application Note
AN91220_OverCurrentDetection on www.melexis.com
The following table offers a comparison between OCDINT and OCD EXT:

11.3. Internal Overcurrent Detection Principle
The internal OCD takes fixed threshold voltage values predefined in the EEPROM and do not require any
extra components. The OCDINT implementation allows detecting overcurrent outside of the output
measurement range of the sensor and is therefore suitable for large current peaks as occurring during
short-circuit. If the theoretical sensor output overcomes the OCDINT voltage threshold, the overcurrent
event is flagged on OCDINT pin. The default OCD threshold voltages are defined as follow, but other values
can be set on request. The overcurrent threshold in ampere is deduced from the sensitivity of the sensor
[mV/A] and the OCDINT threshold voltage.

11.4. External Overcurrent Detection Principle
The external OCD uses the voltage applied on VOCEXT pin as threshold voltage. This translates into an
overcurrent threshold in ampere depending on the sensitivity of the sensor. A voltage divider on VOCEXT
allows defining the threshold voltage in a custom way. Depending on the voltage divider configuration, the
OCD EXT can be used either in bidirectional or unidirectional mode. The External OCD threshold is defined
within the measurement range of the sensor output. This feature is then suitable for out-of-range detection
where the OCD threshold remains close to the nominal current. It offers a better accuracy than OCD INT but
the response is slower. The below table presents the unidirectional and bidirectional external OCD
configurations. Please refer to section 12 for more details about the application diagram and the
recommended resistances.

12.3.1. OCD functions not used
In case of OCD functions are not needed (internal or external), OCD pins can be connected to GND. Moreover, when
OCD_ext is not needed, VOC_ext pin should be connected to GND. Figure 7 shows the wiring configuration when both OCD
functions are not needed.

Solderability
For all soldering technologies deviating from above mentioned standard conditions (regarding peak
temperature, temperature gradient, temperature profile etc) additional classification and qualification tests
have to be agreed upon with Melexis.
The application of Wave Soldering for SMD’s is allowed only after consulting Melexis regarding assurance of
adhesive strength between device and board.
