Description
The MLX90316 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 MLX90316 is only sensitive to the flux density coplanar with the IC surface. This allows the MLX90316 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.
