Melexis MLX90363KDC-ABB-000-RE

The MLX90363 is a monolithic magnetic sensor IC featuring the Triaxis Hall technology. Conventional planar Hall technology is only sensitive to the flux density applied orthogonally to the IC surface. The Triaxis 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. The MLX90363 is sensitive to three (Bx, By and Bz) components of the flux density applied to the IC. This allows the MLX90363 to sense any magnet moving in its surrounding and decode its position through an appropriate signal processing. Using its Serial Interface the MLX90363 can transmit a digital output (SP – 64 bits per frame). The MLX90363 is intended for Embedded Position Sensor applications (vs. Stand - Alone “Remote” Sensor) for which the output is directly provided to a microcontroller (Master) close to the magnetometer IC MLX90363 (Slave). The SPI protocol confirms this intent. The MLX90363 is using full duplex SPI protocol and requires therefore the separated SPI signal lines: MOSI, MISO, /SS and SCLK.
